I have learnt some basics for InDesign today, but useful basics that will help me complete my next brief.
- all pictures that are inserted into photoshop need to be in CMYK format for printing
- Cmd+R= rules
- hold and drag the ruler to create guidelines
- to lock the guidelines, view- grids+guides= lock guides
- margins and columns are another useful feature to help organise your pages
- press 'W' to see what the page is going to look like when printed
- use tif files for indesign
- when you start any indesign project CREATE A NEW FOLDER as all pictures need to be linked up to be printed at the correct quality
- never upscale images on indesign
- use the frame tool for shapes
- to get some fake text to see what the body copy will look like go type- fill with place holder text
- to wrap the text round an object- window- text wrap
As I am new to this programme been really useful session and I've learnt some simple but very useful things.
