Wednesday, 8 January 2014

Today we learnt InDesign deeper.

1. Column and Row

Tips: changing the units into millimetre makes it easier

Saving the document to reduce the bad possibilities 

Starting to make margin and column

Create Guides

The ideal number of column is from 12 to 14

If i click  fit guides to margin it would be like this:

You also can editing the guides by clicking the guide's line.

To delete the guide, just click the delete button after you click the guide 

This is the guides that's from the computer

But i think it's too complicated and confusing so my tips is just create your own guides.

Then I'm trying to do this exercise 

2. Master Page

Master Page is for customising the page that you want to customised. 

So, I've made the 2nd master page (B Master)

This is what I've talking about, I want to customised the B Master using 14 column

To apply the page that you want to make it as the B Master, just drag the B Master and drag it to the page that you want to apply.

Before you customised it, don't forget to click the right master page! So this is my B Master page.

A Master

3. Create the template of your book and adding page number

for example I want to make an ellipse as the page template 

make sure you edit it on your master page

and you can see every page (that use the B Master) is using the same template 

This is how to create a page number. First, create the text box.

you can place the page number

Tada!

4. Create some frame

Text frame

Unassigned frame

Graphics frame

polygon

Colouring the frame

5. Placing the image

make the box

click the circle button one to adjust the size of the image, not the box

you could editing the image place by using this tool bar (5 on the right one)

I was having some experiment and trying to know the different 

6. Text warp

format the image. I was editing the image and remove the background

open the image on InDesign

make a text

appear the text warp toolbar 

place the image in front of the text

click the button
