1
00:00:00,813 --> 00:00:05,423
And here is the link for today's presentation.

2
00:00:05,423 --> 00:00:15,893
I've just posted it the chat. Feel free to go ahead and visit that link.

3
00:00:15,893 --> 00:00:20,153
And if you would like to follow along today, if you can.

4
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:25,193
I know it's kind of hard in this online format. It's kind of hard to do that.

5
00:00:25,193 --> 00:00:33,653
You can click the download the practice files option here, and that'll take you to a one drive folder.

6
00:00:33,653 --> 00:00:38,603
And you're welcome to download the practice files or if you would like to watch today and

7
00:00:38,603 --> 00:00:43,883
then download the practice files today and then try the files on your own afterwords.

8
00:00:43,883 --> 00:00:52,403
You're welcome to do that. So welcome, everybody. The link to today's presentation.

9
00:00:52,403 --> 00:00:59,223
I'm going to put that in the chat here. So welcome to designing documents.

10
00:00:59,223 --> 00:01:06,813
So it's a InDesign workshop for beginners. And I posted the link here in the chat.

11
00:01:06,813 --> 00:01:09,873
Feel free to go ahead and visit that link.

12
00:01:09,873 --> 00:01:17,823
And then once you're on that length and you can if you would like to follow along or if you would like to follow along later,

13
00:01:17,823 --> 00:01:23,583
you'll get a video recording of an beginning and design workshop.

14
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:28,883
And that way you could go ahead and get the practice files if you would like to.

15
00:01:28,883 --> 00:01:37,473
And then the practice files are here. And so if you'd like to go ahead and download this to computer camp or if you would like to just watch today,

16
00:01:37,473 --> 00:01:42,843
you can always do this on your own later if you would like to. Of course.

17
00:01:42,843 --> 00:01:47,583
All right. I'll go ahead and post that link again.

18
00:01:47,583 --> 00:01:56,233
See you guys have it. Thanks so much for joining today, really appreciate you guys being here.

19
00:01:56,233 --> 00:02:04,423
We will go ahead and get started if you have questions as we go through the presentation today.

20
00:02:04,423 --> 00:02:12,283
Please feel free to go ahead and post in the chat here. I'll do my best to watch the chat, you know, and present also.

21
00:02:12,283 --> 00:02:18,463
So just be a little patient with me if I don't see it. I'll do my best to make sure I keep an eye on that.

22
00:02:18,463 --> 00:02:24,943
And so the late today, we'll take you to today's presentation, designing documents and design for beginners.

23
00:02:24,943 --> 00:02:32,083
So this workshop definitely gives you beginning document creation and design techniques and design.

24
00:02:32,083 --> 00:02:39,373
And of course, the links on the presentation today provide a lot of resources for continuing learning.

25
00:02:39,373 --> 00:02:46,273
So today's workshop is actually based on some Adobe student tutorials which are linked to here in this presentation.

26
00:02:46,273 --> 00:02:53,143
So if you wanted to continue learning after today, you definitely could I use the same practice files that they do.

27
00:02:53,143 --> 00:03:01,483
What I'd done is taken their sort of get started and design course and kind of taken part of that and condensed it a bit.

28
00:03:01,483 --> 00:03:07,333
And then we also do offer a designing documents level, too.

29
00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:15,013
So it's more of an intermediate level. And we have a video recording of that on our website.

30
00:03:15,013 --> 00:03:19,523
If you're ready to just kind of go ahead and jump into it after today's workshop,

31
00:03:19,523 --> 00:03:25,963
and I'm going to be offering that one again tomorrow or next week, offering Adobe and Design to next week.

32
00:03:25,963 --> 00:03:32,103
So you're welcome to attend both if you would like to or if you're ready to jump right into it and go for the recordings.

33
00:03:32,103 --> 00:03:35,173
So I'll go ahead and introduce myself and then.

34
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:43,543
So while we're kind of getting started, if you guys would like to just kind of introduce yourself in the chat, just maybe say if you are student,

35
00:03:43,543 --> 00:03:52,183
faculty or staff and what your area of work or study is for free, you just post that in the chat to say hello.

36
00:03:52,183 --> 00:03:55,783
I can get an idea based on the registration's, but you guys don't know each other.

37
00:03:55,783 --> 00:04:01,513
So it's kind of nice to see who else is in the workshop. And because maybe your you could connect later.

38
00:04:01,513 --> 00:04:06,643
Maybe you're interested that somebody else is interested in the same kind of topics that you are.

39
00:04:06,643 --> 00:04:12,253
So that's really cool. So I'll go ahead and get started with with my introduction.

40
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:16,153
And you'll campus in the chat if you would like to. My name is Chelsea Hooper.

41
00:04:16,153 --> 00:04:21,793
I'm an instructional technology specialist in the library in the innovation and research comments,

42
00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:26,473
which used to be the Media and Digital Resource Lab. So we're renovating.

43
00:04:26,473 --> 00:04:33,733
We're probably like eighty five percent done with our renovations and we're working on getting new equipment in as well.

44
00:04:33,733 --> 00:04:40,033
We have a data center data space center setup. We also have an adobe creative space in the first floor of the library.

45
00:04:40,033 --> 00:04:41,503
It's like an open learning,

46
00:04:41,503 --> 00:04:49,043
collaborative space that we're working on getting the Avey system into so we can do demos and things like that and things like we do here,

47
00:04:49,043 --> 00:04:56,353
you know, workshops and things like that. Or maybe some people could be in person and other people could be online.

48
00:04:56,353 --> 00:05:04,393
And then we also have a makerspace area and we're also working on getting a lot of new equipment in for that can be available for checkout.

49
00:05:04,393 --> 00:05:12,653
So a lot of this will complement especially the Adobe apps, because we're going to be getting in some new cameras and things like that.

50
00:05:12,653 --> 00:05:18,613
So you could check one of those fancy cameras out and use that in combination with the Adobe applications.

51
00:05:18,613 --> 00:05:22,273
So, Greg, good to see you. Great. Mariah's here from H.R.

52
00:05:22,273 --> 00:05:27,163
Great to see you again, Latoya. Instructor for music. Great to see you again as well.

53
00:05:27,163 --> 00:05:30,553
And PHC candidate and consumer designed site is awesome. Great to see all.

54
00:05:30,553 --> 00:05:36,313
Yes. Familiar faces, which is great. Bilic familiar names and stuff like that.

55
00:05:36,313 --> 00:05:42,613
Awesome. And so of course the first thing is to make sure you have your Adobe I.D.

56
00:05:42,613 --> 00:05:47,323
I think you guys have heard the spiel before, so I will kind of skip through that.

57
00:05:47,323 --> 00:05:51,253
And also, just let's just talk about InDesign for a moment.

58
00:05:51,253 --> 00:05:54,723
And so we'll play the video of you if you would like to watch it later. You can.

59
00:05:54,723 --> 00:05:58,633
It kind of gives you a nice intro video and also anything I'm giving you today.

60
00:05:58,633 --> 00:06:05,833
You are welcome to share. See you guys will get a follow up email tomorrow and it will have a link to this presentation,

61
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:11,533
as well as a video recording of a previously recorded in Design for Beginners presentation.

62
00:06:11,533 --> 00:06:17,623
Feel free to forward that. Share with colleagues, classmates, whoever you think could benefit.

63
00:06:17,623 --> 00:06:19,813
We're happy to have for you to share.

64
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:26,473
But this little video would give somebody who wasn't able to attend today a bit of an overview of what InDesign does.

65
00:06:26,473 --> 00:06:31,903
And so design is basically a dhobis publication application.

66
00:06:31,903 --> 00:06:43,213
So professional publishers use and designed to help them cure a bring together their images along with raster images.

67
00:06:43,213 --> 00:06:50,743
As far as photographs and things like that, along with vector images, things like drawings, logos and also with text.

68
00:06:50,743 --> 00:07:00,083
So. It's really text heavy. You get a lot of control over your fonts, your stylings, your spacing.

69
00:07:00,083 --> 00:07:04,223
You can really control where things are appearing on the page,

70
00:07:04,223 --> 00:07:09,673
whereas you guys might be used to a word processor and you open up a word processor and you get the little blinking cursor.

71
00:07:09,673 --> 00:07:13,843
And this is begging, you know, for you to type. Go ahead and start typing.

72
00:07:13,843 --> 00:07:19,733
You don't get to choose where that's appearing on the page or you get some choices as far

73
00:07:19,733 --> 00:07:24,323
as the spacing between lines and character spacing and some fonts and stuff like that,

74
00:07:24,323 --> 00:07:31,343
but not like you do with a do with the W, you get all kinds of additional font choices through font started WKRN,

75
00:07:31,343 --> 00:07:38,773
which you guys also have access to with your adobe idee. And so you can activate even more fonts if you want to.

76
00:07:38,773 --> 00:07:43,143
And design. So there's a lot more you can do to bring that in.

77
00:07:43,143 --> 00:07:51,303
And also we have access to some Adobe stock, which you can get to from stock down Adobe Dot.com signing with your over 90.

78
00:07:51,303 --> 00:07:55,713
And we have a pool that we're pulling from. Of stock images that we're allowed to use.

79
00:07:55,713 --> 00:08:03,263
And we have the greatest license that you can have. So stock images through Adobe are going to be one of your best choices other than

80
00:08:03,263 --> 00:08:08,573
creating your own photos yourself that you also do have permission to take.

81
00:08:08,573 --> 00:08:12,743
You know, some things you can't just take photos of, like other people and that kind of thing.

82
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:22,083
You need to have their permission or to use it and so on. But Adobe Stock is another option for you guys that you have.

83
00:08:22,083 --> 00:08:28,963
Was there a question? What is that? Is stock available to faculty and staff as well?

84
00:08:28,963 --> 00:08:39,703
Yes. So you what you do is you just go to stock that it did become and then you would sign in with your Adobe Auburn I.D.

85
00:08:39,703 --> 00:08:43,543
And what we do is we have a pool that we're pulling from.

86
00:08:43,543 --> 00:08:50,023
And so we get some of these windows out of my way so I can see a little bit better what I'm doing here.

87
00:08:50,023 --> 00:08:54,233
And so you could just sign in here and we have access to the images right now.

88
00:08:54,233 --> 00:09:02,593
But to have access to everything, Sjaak, there's a whole lot of, like, video content, premium content, 3-D, you know, images, all kinds of stuff.

89
00:09:02,593 --> 00:09:09,913
So right now, you'll notice when you sign into stock, the dot com, when you click here, you'll see Adobe stock for a few employees.

90
00:09:09,913 --> 00:09:16,693
So that covers faculty and staff. So if you sign in with your Ogburn Adobe idea here on stock, it remembered me.

91
00:09:16,693 --> 00:09:23,113
So I would have had to authenticate as normal with the Obbie authentication window.

92
00:09:23,113 --> 00:09:31,123
And then you'll notice what we get is we have basically about 10000 licenses that we can use for over the course of a year.

93
00:09:31,123 --> 00:09:35,623
So so far, we've used, you know, this amount. So just under 9000.

94
00:09:35,623 --> 00:09:44,053
So there's still plenty to use. Now, when you go to the images and you can search, we have access to images as what we have access to right now.

95
00:09:44,053 --> 00:09:53,293
So what you can do is kind of narrow your search to images. And then we'll just search for something of search for four to make a little bit easier.

96
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:59,043
And then once you go here, if you see one that has a little flag on it already, on the.

97
00:09:59,043 --> 00:10:06,553
I'll find one. Here's one. It says license. Somebody else at Auburn has already downloaded that and licensed it.

98
00:10:06,553 --> 00:10:10,753
So you can download and license that one. And it won't cost us a point.

99
00:10:10,753 --> 00:10:15,793
We have plenty of points. So it's not that big a deal. But just so you see, when you see that license, do you like.

100
00:10:15,793 --> 00:10:21,883
Wait. I didn't do that is because we're from a whole pool of employees together.

101
00:10:21,883 --> 00:10:26,923
And so then when you do choose to download one and license it,

102
00:10:26,923 --> 00:10:34,783
you can download the preview and see what it looks like in your application if you want first or if you know you want to go ahead and license it.

103
00:10:34,783 --> 00:10:40,843
And then you can. We have access to the standard license, which is a very high license agreement.

104
00:10:40,843 --> 00:10:44,413
So it's like the highest that Adobe offer.

105
00:10:44,413 --> 00:10:52,513
So it's OK to republish that kind of thing. And then it's going to ask you just a couple of questions like what project name is this?

106
00:10:52,513 --> 00:10:54,613
And then maybe what department are you from?

107
00:10:54,613 --> 00:11:01,613
And that's just to help us see which departments are using what you know, how much and that kind of thing.

108
00:11:01,613 --> 00:11:08,873
So then we can keep adjusting. Cooper, were you negotiating with Adobe depending on our usage and what we need and so on?

109
00:11:08,873 --> 00:11:14,383
Okay, cool. Yeah. And the trick is to download it to your computer and then the watermark will go

110
00:11:14,383 --> 00:11:18,733
away if you just download the preview and just open it up in an application.

111
00:11:18,733 --> 00:11:23,323
It will still have the watermark on it, which is OK, because if you were having to pay for stock,

112
00:11:23,323 --> 00:11:27,853
you would want to preview it and say, is this going to work for my project or not before I buy it?

113
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:33,763
So that's why that lets you do that, which is super nice. And students also have access to this, too.

114
00:11:33,763 --> 00:11:39,793
When they sign in, they will see Adobe stock for students and they have the same 10.

115
00:11:39,793 --> 00:11:45,193
They have a second ten thousand image pool that they are pulling from.

116
00:11:45,193 --> 00:11:53,983
Yeah. So it's separated that way. So we can kind of see who's using how much and how can we negotiate for more or whatever we need.

117
00:11:53,983 --> 00:11:56,743
And so on. It is limited to images right now.

118
00:11:56,743 --> 00:12:06,303
So if you're pulling up something for 3D and you're like, hey, it's not letting me do it because it's not really included in our package at this time.

119
00:12:06,303 --> 00:12:10,603
Of course. Yeah. And Adobe Stock is fantastic. I have a whole nother.

120
00:12:10,603 --> 00:12:18,013
There's a link in here, too. I think, you know, I've got a whole nother workshop on Adobe stock or video that I've made and so

121
00:12:18,013 --> 00:12:22,453
on on because you can even do things like search for you can do these filters,

122
00:12:22,453 --> 00:12:29,593
which are super handy if you're working on a huge project and you're a faculty or staff.

123
00:12:29,593 --> 00:12:36,193
You can also email me. And then what I can do is I can turn around and email Adobe with your criteria.

124
00:12:36,193 --> 00:12:41,383
So if you want somebody to go through and search stock for you and then send you back like a

125
00:12:41,383 --> 00:12:48,133
curated list of what they found based upon your project and your topic and stuff like that,

126
00:12:48,133 --> 00:12:53,233
then we also have that was kind of a research service within stock that we have access to.

127
00:12:53,233 --> 00:13:00,973
So that's really nice as well. But you can search even by forcing the image to have area for copy like this one does.

128
00:13:00,973 --> 00:13:06,193
It's got image. It's got a space already for text to go on top of it.

129
00:13:06,193 --> 00:13:09,043
So to be super easy to take something like that, download it,

130
00:13:09,043 --> 00:13:14,173
put it either in a design or Photoshop or illustrator, whatever you need, and then put some text on it.

131
00:13:14,173 --> 00:13:21,363
And then it's a fantastic looking image because these are all, of course, super high quality, amazing images complete.

132
00:13:21,363 --> 00:13:28,333
We know you have the license to use them. So it's one of the best options for your for your photos for sure.

133
00:13:28,333 --> 00:13:33,773
Yeah, I'm glad you asked. Thanks for asking. Awesome.

134
00:13:33,773 --> 00:13:39,523
Wow. Yes. Is super handy. Very, very handy.

135
00:13:39,523 --> 00:13:44,223
Because you maybe they have amazing pictures. You wouldn't be able to get otherwise. And they even have things like that.

136
00:13:44,223 --> 00:13:49,233
You know, where it's kind of already, you know, like a layered image of somebody else created and they uploaded it.

137
00:13:49,233 --> 00:13:55,373
So you can kind of you can save a lot of time that way instead of having to create everything yourself,

138
00:13:55,373 --> 00:14:00,733
you know, and you might get ideas and you might make your own based upon those ideas, too.

139
00:14:00,733 --> 00:14:10,373
Yeah. So stock is another fantastic thing to be using with, you know, using with Adobe and Design or any other applications.

140
00:14:10,373 --> 00:14:14,103
But design is really like a curation tool. Professionals use it.

141
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:18,573
People who are professional authors use it to pull their novels together.

142
00:14:18,573 --> 00:14:22,053
They can import entire word documents. You know,

143
00:14:22,053 --> 00:14:27,213
you can file place an entire word document inside of an design and then you go back

144
00:14:27,213 --> 00:14:30,993
and add your images and really control your text and where you're how in your images,

145
00:14:30,993 --> 00:14:40,363
where they are on the screen and so on. So you can use it to design trifle brochures helps you with all kinds of publication layouts.

146
00:14:40,363 --> 00:14:43,543
It also helps you with Web, too. You can use it to design for Web sites.

147
00:14:43,543 --> 00:14:49,713
Some people kind of use it as a tool like across the board because maybe they're designing print materials as well as web materials.

148
00:14:49,713 --> 00:14:53,193
You can do all of that together and in design if you wanted to,

149
00:14:53,193 --> 00:14:57,243
if that was the best tool for you, depending on what you're depending on what you're doing.

150
00:14:57,243 --> 00:15:05,553
But it will help you do facing pages, you know, like a book, Bradshaws, all kinds of all kinds of stuff, postcards, business cards.

151
00:15:05,553 --> 00:15:10,293
You can create your own make your own fliers.

152
00:15:10,293 --> 00:15:15,933
You know, all kinds of neat stuff that you can do. So it's definitely it's a professional publication tool.

153
00:15:15,933 --> 00:15:17,853
So today we're gonna go through some of the basics.

154
00:15:17,853 --> 00:15:25,033
You'll know how to kind of create a file, put some IDE, some objects on the file and work with them.

155
00:15:25,033 --> 00:15:33,543
So and then also, right before we get into Adobe InDesign, there's also some mobile applications that Adobe offers.

156
00:15:33,543 --> 00:15:37,923
Adobe captures one of them. It's a nice compain into InDesign.

157
00:15:37,923 --> 00:15:44,103
If you're trying to design and figure out like a color palette around a certain photo or object in real life,

158
00:15:44,103 --> 00:15:47,763
you can download Adobe Capture or sign into your Adobe Idee,

159
00:15:47,763 --> 00:15:54,363
point your smartphone at an object or a photo, and it'll pull the color palette, the entire color palette out.

160
00:15:54,363 --> 00:16:00,513
Of course, you can use things like the eye dropper tool within an Adobe application to pick one color out.

161
00:16:00,513 --> 00:16:04,893
And that's a great tool to use. But in this case, you see something, you're inspired.

162
00:16:04,893 --> 00:16:13,383
You know, it'll pull the entire palette. So just one color out and then you save it to your libraries, to your creative called libraries.

163
00:16:13,383 --> 00:16:18,573
And then when you open up any application, any Adobe application on your desktop,

164
00:16:18,573 --> 00:16:23,163
it's in your libraries that color palettes there so that you can pull from as you're designing.

165
00:16:23,163 --> 00:16:29,703
So just a neat side tool. So the getting started in design tutorials by Adobe are really, really good.

166
00:16:29,703 --> 00:16:38,423
So if you were eager to continue learning today on continue with those tutorials, I use the sample files from that.

167
00:16:38,423 --> 00:16:44,943
I you know, I pull from that and I basically condensed it back down into kind of one hour.

168
00:16:44,943 --> 00:16:47,673
But if you want to continue learning, I highly recommend them.

169
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:56,073
They have like three to four minute videos along with these sample files that they actually use in those three to four minute video.

170
00:16:56,073 --> 00:17:03,183
So it's pretty easy to follow along and do it in pieces, kind of do it in chunks like that, which is nice.

171
00:17:03,183 --> 00:17:07,503
We also have access, if you're an employee to LinkedIn learning.

172
00:17:07,503 --> 00:17:10,533
That's another great resource, but it can be a little overwhelming at first.

173
00:17:10,533 --> 00:17:17,043
These are good for getting started, the adobe ones, and they have more for intermediate and advanced in all of them.

174
00:17:17,043 --> 00:17:24,633
So they're a good place to start. And then if you are more advanced or want something more specific, sometimes linked in learning is good.

175
00:17:24,633 --> 00:17:33,483
Sometimes just YouTube is good depending on how specific it is. And then this is also a fantastic tool for you guys to ah, to reference.

176
00:17:33,483 --> 00:17:37,143
This is just kind of a memory aid for you.

177
00:17:37,143 --> 00:17:43,833
This is a cheat sheet that basically had developed that talks about the basics of the interface using frames and a design,

178
00:17:43,833 --> 00:17:48,083
which we will talk about today and how to deal with graphics and design.

179
00:17:48,083 --> 00:17:51,993
It's a little bit different than some other programs, color effects.

180
00:17:51,993 --> 00:18:01,683
And it has mentioned some of the good keyboard shortcuts such as Command Zeine or Control CZI is undo that because for all the Adobe applications.

181
00:18:01,683 --> 00:18:09,903
So those are good cheat sheets to disrupt, to refer to as you are getting into in design and learning it.

182
00:18:09,903 --> 00:18:16,143
So mostly the practice files we're going to be using today or understand frames, add graphics and you can pick a J pad,

183
00:18:16,143 --> 00:18:21,313
which is at least one jpeg if you'd like follow along or again, feel free to check.

184
00:18:21,313 --> 00:18:23,713
Later. And then keyboard shortcuts.

185
00:18:23,713 --> 00:18:32,323
This is another just document on what are some of these specific keyboard shortcuts to in design is good to kind of do those as you go,

186
00:18:32,323 --> 00:18:42,343
which is very handy. All right, fantastic. Amoco's. The link again, just in case anybody came late and we will go ahead and get started in InDesign.

187
00:18:42,343 --> 00:18:48,853
So we're going to start by creating a new document. It's likely how you would begin in a design.

188
00:18:48,853 --> 00:18:53,923
And then we're going to kind of mess around with that new document to kind of learn the interface.

189
00:18:53,923 --> 00:18:58,663
And then we will go back and open a couple of the practice files where they already have

190
00:18:58,663 --> 00:19:04,123
constructed awesome and design files that we can talk about the objects that are already there.

191
00:19:04,123 --> 00:19:10,693
And so it's taking time to build one up and then talk about it. This is faster for us to do it this way.

192
00:19:10,693 --> 00:19:17,023
And then I would also just challenge you after today. At some point, maybe try and design within the next three days.

193
00:19:17,023 --> 00:19:19,963
Get into it a little bit on Nito, of course.

194
00:19:19,963 --> 00:19:25,633
Research shows that if you learn something new and then you apply it within the next three days, even just a little bit.

195
00:19:25,633 --> 00:19:28,963
You're much more likely to apply it in the future later on.

196
00:19:28,963 --> 00:19:34,513
So we will go ahead and get into InDesign. So I already have an design open here.

197
00:19:34,513 --> 00:19:37,903
OK, and feel free to open up your interface as well.

198
00:19:37,903 --> 00:19:44,653
If you can't entirely follow along, it's OK. But that way you kind of get the, you know, the feel of it and idea and so on.

199
00:19:44,653 --> 00:19:51,343
So in Adobe in Design, we have some options. We can create a new file or we can open a previously created file.

200
00:19:51,343 --> 00:19:53,443
So we're gonna pretend like we've done nothing yet.

201
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:59,233
So we're gonna create a new file and they're gonna look at our options that we have available here in our new file.

202
00:19:59,233 --> 00:20:07,093
So right now, it opens automatically to any recent files that you were most recently working on.

203
00:20:07,093 --> 00:20:13,273
And then you can also go to saved files. But what we're going to focus on today is basically print.

204
00:20:13,273 --> 00:20:20,373
And then we'll look at web and mobile. So mostly most the time when you go to create new file, you'll choose what type of file is it?

205
00:20:20,373 --> 00:20:24,823
Is your intent to create this file for print? Or is the intent for Web or for mobile?

206
00:20:24,823 --> 00:20:32,173
Because some people design their app interfaces for their mobile apps using InDesign because

207
00:20:32,173 --> 00:20:38,953
it can cure a it can bring in a photographic image along with illustrator type images,

208
00:20:38,953 --> 00:20:45,713
vector images along with text. And you can design for certain screen size, you know, that kind of thing.

209
00:20:45,713 --> 00:20:51,163
So some people do that as well, or they'll design like their Facebook header, you know,

210
00:20:51,163 --> 00:20:56,683
because they want to have some nice images with overlay text or fancy fonts, you know, things like that.

211
00:20:56,683 --> 00:21:01,423
So kind of neat stuff. So we're going to pretend like we're designing for print.

212
00:21:01,423 --> 00:21:08,143
We're gonna do a very simple letter. And so over here in our first window, this is gonna be the file name.

213
00:21:08,143 --> 00:21:12,583
So we'll just call this one sample. OK.

214
00:21:12,583 --> 00:21:17,143
But this would be the the of the file the files name.

215
00:21:17,143 --> 00:21:20,743
And then the first thing you might be thinking is what the heck is a Piqua? Right.

216
00:21:20,743 --> 00:21:25,603
So because basically a publication measurement and says we're not really familiar with

217
00:21:25,603 --> 00:21:32,083
that and we're not really creating like a professionally printing printed document here.

218
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:35,893
We're gonna change it to something we do know, which is inches. Right.

219
00:21:35,893 --> 00:21:40,723
So now we can clearly see. Oh, yeah. Letter size. That's correct. Is eight and a half by eleven.

220
00:21:40,723 --> 00:21:44,413
And then some of the other options over here, we get to choose the orientation.

221
00:21:44,413 --> 00:21:48,583
So do we want it landscaped or do we want it portrait and see how those switched switch will?

222
00:21:48,583 --> 00:21:59,263
We did that facing pages means two pages facing each other so you can quickly design books or things that you want to fold and stuff like that.

223
00:21:59,263 --> 00:22:03,793
We don't want a facing page today because we're just designing like a one page flier.

224
00:22:03,793 --> 00:22:09,423
So we'll uncheck that. We can choose how many pages we want here.

225
00:22:09,423 --> 00:22:16,363
You know, right now we just want one. But if we want to multiple pages in our document, we could add more pages at this time.

226
00:22:16,363 --> 00:22:20,833
We could tell it to start on a certain number of columns.

227
00:22:20,833 --> 00:22:27,433
We can have it be a certain amount of columns. And what that means is just columns as guides.

228
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:35,773
And then we choose where we place our text frames in our pictures and our images and whatever else we want on there.

229
00:22:35,773 --> 00:22:44,243
So don't be confused by this. And thinking of this is going to forced me to use columns like it would in a word processor.

230
00:22:44,243 --> 00:22:49,603
You know, it's not like that. So these are just guides. So right now, we don't really need that.

231
00:22:49,603 --> 00:22:57,073
But that could be a good sort of thing to use if we wanted to have sort of like three columns,

232
00:22:57,073 --> 00:23:03,973
you know, sort of a visual guide of three columns in our setup, if we wanted to do that.

233
00:23:03,973 --> 00:23:07,663
But we can always add other kinds of guides later.

234
00:23:07,663 --> 00:23:10,883
So we're not too worried about that right now.

235
00:23:10,883 --> 00:23:17,343
And this is the column gutters that would choose like the spacing between the columns, like padding inside of a cell.

236
00:23:17,343 --> 00:23:21,593
A table for a table, Rosen columns and that kind of thing.

237
00:23:21,593 --> 00:23:27,533
And then we could choose to have some different kinds of margins. Right now there are half an inch, which is great.

238
00:23:27,533 --> 00:23:35,903
Keep in mind, if you were creating something that's for Prent, then typically you're going to want to create something that is a normal print size.

239
00:23:35,903 --> 00:23:42,293
First of all, and of make sure that you're printing to a printer that can handle the margins that you've set.

240
00:23:42,293 --> 00:23:48,563
So most printers can't do much smaller than point to five unless they're what they call full bleed printers.

241
00:23:48,563 --> 00:23:54,263
And in which case you'd have to go request that specifically from a print shop.

242
00:23:54,263 --> 00:23:58,313
And that's what this is referring to. We won't get into that today. It's it's a little bit more advanced.

243
00:23:58,313 --> 00:23:59,483
We're not worried about that right now.

244
00:23:59,483 --> 00:24:06,973
We're just making something that we could print on our normal printer ourselves or that we could publish online as a one page idea.

245
00:24:06,973 --> 00:24:14,423
OK. So we're going to you can also hit preview here. And that's a good little thing to remember across all the Adobe applications.

246
00:24:14,423 --> 00:24:20,103
There will often be a little preview button on each window that you're opening.

247
00:24:20,103 --> 00:24:25,883
You know that where you were making changes to your document and you can do that so that you can see,

248
00:24:25,883 --> 00:24:31,283
is this really what I want, you know, over here before I actually hit create?

249
00:24:31,283 --> 00:24:35,093
So that's a nice little tips to remember. This preview buttons are very handy.

250
00:24:35,093 --> 00:24:40,583
So we'll go and create. And so now we have our one page document.

251
00:24:40,583 --> 00:24:48,683
If you don't see rulers up here, then you can first go to your view and you can choose to have the ruler show.

252
00:24:48,683 --> 00:24:54,593
Right now it says hi because mine are showing. But if you're confused about that, because your interface looks a little different.

253
00:24:54,593 --> 00:24:58,643
Remember, View can help you sort of change what you're what your view looks like.

254
00:24:58,643 --> 00:25:07,553
And so that's where the rulers are, which is very handy. So we'll just gonna use this document to first talk about the interface of design here.

255
00:25:07,553 --> 00:25:14,573
So first of all, if your tools look a little bit different than mine, something you're gonna want to check is what workspace are you in?

256
00:25:14,573 --> 00:25:19,073
We're gonna be in essentials today because that'll be fine for what we're doing.

257
00:25:19,073 --> 00:25:27,473
But if we were creating something different, like if we knew we were creating a PDA just for online, we could go to interactive for PDAF.

258
00:25:27,473 --> 00:25:30,653
And they have some additional options there that we could pull from.

259
00:25:30,653 --> 00:25:36,743
Like you can animate some things in an interactive PDA, for example, on digital publishing.

260
00:25:36,743 --> 00:25:40,373
If we were doing that, then we would get a lot of like e pub options.

261
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:46,613
That would be like a link of a button here for us to add hyperlinks very quickly and things like that.

262
00:25:46,613 --> 00:25:52,793
And then book. So basically just customizes those tools kind of depending on what your workspaces.

263
00:25:52,793 --> 00:25:57,023
So we're we're on essentials is what, Ron. And notice, I'm in 2019.

264
00:25:57,023 --> 00:26:01,523
So if you're in 2020, am I look slightly different, but not much. OK.

265
00:26:01,523 --> 00:26:05,513
And then the tools we're gonna be working with today or over on the left sidebar.

266
00:26:05,513 --> 00:26:11,123
So the selection tool lets us click an object or text frame and choose it.

267
00:26:11,123 --> 00:26:14,633
So that's very important tool for us to be using today. The type tool.

268
00:26:14,633 --> 00:26:21,053
We'll be using that a lot today that helps us create a text frame with text inside of it.

269
00:26:21,053 --> 00:26:27,803
Notice that there's a little white flag on the bottom of the type tool, and if I press it and hold, then there's more options.

270
00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:33,203
So just know that that's true across all of the Web applications. Preston, hold if you see that little white flag.

271
00:26:33,203 --> 00:26:39,033
So if you don't see a tool that some is referring to right away. See if you can't guess sort of which one it would be under.

272
00:26:39,033 --> 00:26:43,643
Like they're telling you look for the type on a path tool and you're like, well, I don't see a type on a pastel.

273
00:26:43,643 --> 00:26:47,513
It's probably under tight because that's related to type on a path. Right.

274
00:26:47,513 --> 00:26:52,643
So that you can use that's kind of help you line tool to subsidy, simply draw a line.

275
00:26:52,643 --> 00:26:57,683
So that can be nice and sort of visually separate some pieces. OK.

276
00:26:57,683 --> 00:27:02,213
These place holder tools are really nice. So a rectangle frame tool.

277
00:27:02,213 --> 00:27:08,093
And we know we can press and hold and we can get more options. So there's a Lipps frame tool and a polygon frame tool.

278
00:27:08,093 --> 00:27:13,463
So we have some options there. And then these are also just regular shapes.

279
00:27:13,463 --> 00:27:20,933
OK. So we have rectangles, circles, polygons. We can choose from to to put on our documents if we want to hear.

280
00:27:20,933 --> 00:27:30,443
And then we'll kind of switch down the hand tool if we zoom in quite a bit, which we can do by clicking or a command plus or control plus.

281
00:27:30,443 --> 00:27:35,243
And same thing. Command minus. Control minus. And then let's say, always end up too far.

282
00:27:35,243 --> 00:27:40,283
Here's a little handy like tip. You can go to view fit page in window.

283
00:27:40,283 --> 00:27:44,723
And now we're kind of back to a perfect view within and within our interface.

284
00:27:44,723 --> 00:27:49,433
But when we're zoomed in, we can also we'll zoom back in. So you can kind of see.

285
00:27:49,433 --> 00:27:53,453
You can also use the hand tool. So you click the hand tool.

286
00:27:53,453 --> 00:28:00,863
Then you can kind of pan around your page. This is good if you're trying to zoom in and get on something close of France and so on.

287
00:28:00,863 --> 00:28:05,933
So we'll go back out of the page window. And then we have our colors over here.

288
00:28:05,933 --> 00:28:10,103
So we have what they call the fill color.

289
00:28:10,103 --> 00:28:14,633
And right now, since it's got a little bar through, that means there's no fill.

290
00:28:14,633 --> 00:28:19,133
So if I drew a rectangle right now. OK.

291
00:28:19,133 --> 00:28:24,703
Then I've got a. Black stroke. OK, this is a stroke color, so that will be the outline.

292
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:30,943
And I have no film right now. And you can't really see that. It's kind of small, so we'll just make that a little bit bigger.

293
00:28:30,943 --> 00:28:37,123
So you have your stroke color and then you have your fill color. OK. And of course, you can change it if this is selected.

294
00:28:37,123 --> 00:28:43,783
You know, we can make changes to it and we double click the colors to get to our color palette here.

295
00:28:43,783 --> 00:28:51,793
Color picker. And what we can do is we can either use the eyedropper tool to select a color that's out here.

296
00:28:51,793 --> 00:28:59,203
There's not much going on in here. So it's not letting us really slow to anything. But you can also pay attention to which colors you're using.

297
00:28:59,203 --> 00:29:04,483
So RGV would be the colors designing for web. Seem like the colors since you designed for print.

298
00:29:04,483 --> 00:29:13,603
Because these are the card. These correspond to print cartridges. So you have signed cyan, magenta, yellow and then Kay is black.

299
00:29:13,603 --> 00:29:22,453
And that is the colors can be perfect, you know, and be as close to possible as what you want when you send it to a printer.

300
00:29:22,453 --> 00:29:29,863
And so we can pick all kinds of colors here. And then once we have picked a color, then we can add it to our swatches.

301
00:29:29,863 --> 00:29:35,053
So swatches are kind of like a color palette that is saved within this file.

302
00:29:35,053 --> 00:29:41,443
And so if we choose this blue. Oh, and another thing we could do is if we wanted to work with exactly the orange colors,

303
00:29:41,443 --> 00:29:50,563
we can go to office communications and marketing Web site, get the code either the same like code or the hexadecimal code and paste it right here.

304
00:29:50,563 --> 00:29:57,283
And then that would give us the exact Auburn color that we're supposed to be using for the style guides and stuff.

305
00:29:57,283 --> 00:30:04,513
But we'll go ahead hit ADC in my case, Swatch, too. And so now that's added to our swatches list as well.

306
00:30:04,513 --> 00:30:09,403
And also, when you are working with the interface and notice we add the rectangle selected.

307
00:30:09,403 --> 00:30:14,863
So it filled in because that's we had it selected at the time, so which we changed the full color.

308
00:30:14,863 --> 00:30:22,663
So that's why it did that. If you are looking for a panel over here.

309
00:30:22,663 --> 00:30:26,203
Notice that, first of all, when I have something selected.

310
00:30:26,203 --> 00:30:31,573
So if I use a select tool and select the right rectangle, which it's already selected, is active right now.

311
00:30:31,573 --> 00:30:38,023
Then the properties that you can change will show up in a panel to your right under properties here.

312
00:30:38,023 --> 00:30:42,493
But if you don't have the objects selected here, it's not going to show up over here.

313
00:30:42,493 --> 00:30:47,803
So every all the menus in Adobe apps or are context specific.

314
00:30:47,803 --> 00:30:52,933
So if you're going nuts trying to find a certain panel, certain properties that you want to change,

315
00:30:52,933 --> 00:30:58,933
make sure you've selected exactly what it is you want to change first, because then you will get the proper options.

316
00:30:58,933 --> 00:31:03,193
So now do we have this selected here? We can change the field color if we want to.

317
00:31:03,193 --> 00:31:11,503
The stroke color, we can even change the style of the stroke. So that's how we can get different types of strokes.

318
00:31:11,503 --> 00:31:15,043
If we want to. We can choose how thick it is.

319
00:31:15,043 --> 00:31:21,433
We can adjust the corners and make them more round which round rectangles are kind of like an N thing, right?

320
00:31:21,433 --> 00:31:24,613
Because all your apps on your phone have round rectangles.

321
00:31:24,613 --> 00:31:33,133
Round rectangles are kind of everywhere in our life and are kind of a little bit more pleasing to the eye than the sharp edge rectangle.

322
00:31:33,133 --> 00:31:38,233
You can also do things like decrease opacity, which is a nice way to add some colors,

323
00:31:38,233 --> 00:31:42,583
your document, but you want to overlay some sex on top of that so you can see it better.

324
00:31:42,583 --> 00:31:50,743
You can even do some effects like put a drop shadow on it and all kinds of neat stuff, but know that the menus are context specific.

325
00:31:50,743 --> 00:32:00,103
However, if you are still trying to find a certain properties panel or that you need and you want it to like stay up there,

326
00:32:00,103 --> 00:32:08,983
you know, more consistently. You can go to window and then you can click the one that you want to show up here.

327
00:32:08,983 --> 00:32:17,593
And so if I always want the color swatches to be appearing, then I can choose that and it will show up here.

328
00:32:17,593 --> 00:32:22,393
And there's my swatch that I just added. So it's got it saved here.

329
00:32:22,393 --> 00:32:28,993
The trick with swatches and swatches can be handy because you pick a color, you pick a specific color and you really like it.

330
00:32:28,993 --> 00:32:32,863
You don't want to keep recreating that or guessing as to what color that was.

331
00:32:32,863 --> 00:32:38,953
Right. So save it as a swatch. And it's kind of like saving that color in your color palette.

332
00:32:38,953 --> 00:32:42,623
Here it's got some that it comes with automatically in your swatches.

333
00:32:42,623 --> 00:32:48,643
So it's going to come with white, which they call paper, and then black and then none is no fill at all.

334
00:32:48,643 --> 00:32:53,173
It's just empty clear. And then it comes with some basic ones.

335
00:32:53,173 --> 00:32:56,323
But then you can add to your swatches here.

336
00:32:56,323 --> 00:33:05,103
The trick with it is that when you add a swatch here within InDesign, it's going to add it just to that design file.

337
00:33:05,103 --> 00:33:10,693
OK. Unless you go in, you can within these swatches.

338
00:33:10,693 --> 00:33:15,073
You can usually add it to your and you'll see if it gives us that option.

339
00:33:15,073 --> 00:33:20,673
It may because I mean, she doesn't like to instantly show me, but you can add it to your color libraries and.

340
00:33:20,673 --> 00:33:25,083
Then you eat, it's available across all of your Adobe applications,

341
00:33:25,083 --> 00:33:29,103
so you have some colors, you wanted to be available everywhere, then you can do that.

342
00:33:29,103 --> 00:33:33,783
Otherwise, swatches are consistent within your InDesign file.

343
00:33:33,783 --> 00:33:39,243
So some people do is if they don't want to use the color libraries thing and go across all of their

344
00:33:39,243 --> 00:33:45,033
adobe applications is they create one InDesign file is kind of a master and then they do a save as.

345
00:33:45,033 --> 00:33:50,913
And then use those to create their additional pieces for whatever they're designing.

346
00:33:50,913 --> 00:33:54,513
And that way it saves those color swatches along with it.

347
00:33:54,513 --> 00:34:02,133
You can also create new swatches by clicking down here and you can then pull from additional colors and that sort of thing.

348
00:34:02,133 --> 00:34:05,973
And then you can all also make a new color group. There's all kinds of other things you can do.

349
00:34:05,973 --> 00:34:11,313
But for now, we need to know how to change the color which we did that and how to change the strict color.

350
00:34:11,313 --> 00:34:19,083
You can also and you can collapse those by clicking a little sign, the little sort of arrow thing there and then it's there.

351
00:34:19,083 --> 00:34:24,933
Another thing is, if you're in a panel and you're looking for more options,

352
00:34:24,933 --> 00:34:31,983
then there's usually a little hamburger menu and that's where you can get two additional options.

353
00:34:31,983 --> 00:34:36,423
So if you're looking for something else is very specific that maybe somebody mentions in a video.

354
00:34:36,423 --> 00:34:42,093
Go to the panel you think it would be in and then see if there's additional options under that little hamburger menu.

355
00:34:42,093 --> 00:34:43,953
That's usually where they are.

356
00:34:43,953 --> 00:34:50,283
We can also if we wanted to just switch very quickly between these two colors, like if I wanted to make the Phil Black and then the stroke,

357
00:34:50,283 --> 00:34:53,843
this sort of blue, purple color, then I can quickly just click back and forth.

358
00:34:53,843 --> 00:34:58,773
See, that way you can easily have kind of two colors to switch back and forth from.

359
00:34:58,773 --> 00:35:05,703
And then also another very handy feature for your interface is the what view are we in?

360
00:35:05,703 --> 00:35:09,303
So right now we're in normal view. So normal view means I'm editing.

361
00:35:09,303 --> 00:35:17,643
It means I get to see all of my guides. If I have guides setup here, I can see my margins that that's what these pink and purple lines are.

362
00:35:17,643 --> 00:35:22,683
They won't print. I can see the frame lines. OK.

363
00:35:22,683 --> 00:35:28,253
Which normally is also what in print. But to see what it's going to look like when it prints, I can also hit preview.

364
00:35:28,253 --> 00:35:34,773
I had that selected. So we needed to it before we hit preview. And a shortcut to that is w on your keyboard.

365
00:35:34,773 --> 00:35:39,723
So if you just press W on your keyboard and you can kind of go back and forth and that

366
00:35:39,723 --> 00:35:45,003
becomes really handy is you're going to see as we get more complicated in design files.

367
00:35:45,003 --> 00:35:48,863
There's many tons of frames that could be overlapping that on top of each other.

368
00:35:48,863 --> 00:35:57,903
It's gonna get a little confusing. So being able to flip back and forth between this W, you know, using W is very, very handy.

369
00:35:57,903 --> 00:36:01,863
And then you have another one, which is presentation mode and that just brings it up.

370
00:36:01,863 --> 00:36:06,153
So you can't even see the Adobe and Design interface. You only see your file.

371
00:36:06,153 --> 00:36:10,713
So that's nice to do that. Says take a step back and say, oh, what's it, how does it look?

372
00:36:10,713 --> 00:36:15,663
And then shift w is the shortcut for that. So that gives you some ideas there.

373
00:36:15,663 --> 00:36:26,433
So let's create some things in our document now that we've kind of talked about the interface a bit like we did all this stuff.

374
00:36:26,433 --> 00:36:32,763
Okay, let's talk about the concept of frames as super important, because you're going to pick up the little things and design that help you do

375
00:36:32,763 --> 00:36:35,953
the specific things you want to do that are more technical and stuff like that.

376
00:36:35,953 --> 00:36:41,493
But understanding the concepts behind each of these Adobe applications is really important,

377
00:36:41,493 --> 00:36:45,273
because then when you go to find a video or you see a video and some guys talk about.

378
00:36:45,273 --> 00:36:50,373
Yeah. Just make a new layer and, you know, just, you know, use the arrange tool to do this.

379
00:36:50,373 --> 00:36:59,133
And then if you have no concept of, you know, frames in general for InDesign or layers in general for Photoshop, then is can be really confusing.

380
00:36:59,133 --> 00:37:04,443
Right. So understanding sort of the vocabulary that goes along with each application is really important.

381
00:37:04,443 --> 00:37:12,783
So with that, with Adobe in Design, I like to think of my document is kind of like a blank scrapbook.

382
00:37:12,783 --> 00:37:20,793
So if I were creating a physical scrapbook, I would have a blank page that I would start with and then I would layer things on top of that.

383
00:37:20,793 --> 00:37:22,863
Right. I would have to place things.

384
00:37:22,863 --> 00:37:31,473
I would have to place maybe a cute little background like this little cut out, you know, with those special scissors, that kind of stuff.

385
00:37:31,473 --> 00:37:35,413
And then maybe I would have to get some letters and I would have to letters, stickers.

386
00:37:35,413 --> 00:37:38,113
I would have to stick those on there.

387
00:37:38,113 --> 00:37:45,693
And then maybe I would, you know, put the physical pieces down, like the photo and the text that I wanted and stuff like that,

388
00:37:45,693 --> 00:37:49,863
but not glue them down yet so I could kind of rearrange kind of same thing here.

389
00:37:49,863 --> 00:37:56,973
You can place them digitally wherever you want. You can even place them outside of your document and they will stay there.

390
00:37:56,973 --> 00:38:03,843
It's fine. The gray area is also part of your workspace is kind of like you got a desk and you've got this blank sheet.

391
00:38:03,843 --> 00:38:07,503
And then you can, you know, place things as you need them on here.

392
00:38:07,503 --> 00:38:14,343
So we we already created a rectangle which placed a rectangle inside of a frame for us.

393
00:38:14,343 --> 00:38:19,743
As you can see, because we did squiggly line stroke and we still have this frame around it.

394
00:38:19,743 --> 00:38:24,193
Right. Everything in a design exists inside of a frame.

395
00:38:24,193 --> 00:38:27,723
You don't always see that frame printed. Right.

396
00:38:27,723 --> 00:38:36,013
But it's part of your edits, you know, sort of interface so that you can clearly see where you're putting things and how they're gonna react

397
00:38:36,013 --> 00:38:41,143
to each other and where they are in relation to each other if they're on top of each other and so on.

398
00:38:41,143 --> 00:38:45,943
So we've created a rectangle frame. Here's another great option.

399
00:38:45,943 --> 00:38:51,403
And you might do this if you're fiscally scrapbooking, as you can place what's called a placeholder.

400
00:38:51,403 --> 00:38:56,503
So this is a placeholder frame. And to create one, I just click it and then click and drag.

401
00:38:56,503 --> 00:39:02,833
If I want this to be an exact square, I can hold down the shift key while I'm resizing.

402
00:39:02,833 --> 00:39:07,783
And that makes it a perfect square. If I don't care about that, I can resize it, have robot.

403
00:39:07,783 --> 00:39:11,173
And again, these are pretty much light so I can reach size them.

404
00:39:11,173 --> 00:39:17,533
I just choose a selection tool after I create it and I can still resize freely, you know, whatever I want to do.

405
00:39:17,533 --> 00:39:26,503
So this is what we call a placeholder frame. So this is a nice feature to you is if you have the content coming, but you don't have it yet.

406
00:39:26,503 --> 00:39:33,073
But like, you know, you want to put a picture up here in this corner or, you know, you want your text to be down here.

407
00:39:33,073 --> 00:39:41,413
You know, you can make these little place holder, you know, frames or maybe, you know, you want to circle one down here, something like that.

408
00:39:41,413 --> 00:39:46,423
Again, I compress shift to make it a perfect circle on clicking and dragging.

409
00:39:46,423 --> 00:39:50,063
And that way it's it's saving space on my documents.

410
00:39:50,063 --> 00:39:55,753
So I remember what what I'm going to put there, but, you know, I don't have the content yet.

411
00:39:55,753 --> 00:39:59,683
And that way I can still work on my page and keep working on it and so on.

412
00:39:59,683 --> 00:40:07,113
So just like the other options that we've put in, just like this regular frame we have, it's got a frame around it.

413
00:40:07,113 --> 00:40:11,653
So we've got a circle and then it's got a frame that exist around it. OK.

414
00:40:11,653 --> 00:40:19,033
So text frames. So let's talk about that. So we're going to choose the text tool and we're gonna click and jagged to create a text frame.

415
00:40:19,033 --> 00:40:26,203
So now we have this text frame and we're gonna use a little shortcut down here called Fill with placeholder text.

416
00:40:26,203 --> 00:40:29,803
So if you're just kind of messing around or you don't have your text yet and you

417
00:40:29,803 --> 00:40:34,873
just want to put some stuff in there so you can see what it's going to look like, filled with placeholder for text.

418
00:40:34,873 --> 00:40:43,543
So now we have a text frame. And here's a really cool feature, I think of an design, one of its biggest strengths, I think.

419
00:40:43,543 --> 00:40:50,653
So you've seen maybe on a magazine or a newspaper where story starts on page one, but then it continues on like page four.

420
00:40:50,653 --> 00:40:55,353
Right. Or it starts in this column and it continues to the next column.

421
00:40:55,353 --> 00:40:58,753
You know, all kinds of things. You can do it. That was text.

422
00:40:58,753 --> 00:41:06,883
And how does it flow? Right. So what I've done first of a created one text frame and then what I'm it is I'm a create a second text frame.

423
00:41:06,883 --> 00:41:11,653
OK. And I'm not going to put anything in this one just yet.

424
00:41:11,653 --> 00:41:17,143
But what I'm going to do is let's say I decided of this text frame is like too big.

425
00:41:17,143 --> 00:41:21,343
I want the text that's in it, but too big. I want to resize it a bit.

426
00:41:21,343 --> 00:41:24,553
And now look what's happened. I've gotten a change as happened.

427
00:41:24,553 --> 00:41:32,743
There's now a little tiny red plus sign on the bottom right hand corner that indicates what they call overset text.

428
00:41:32,743 --> 00:41:37,183
And so that means there is a text frame here. There is text in it.

429
00:41:37,183 --> 00:41:41,773
And some of the text is hidden because the text frame is too small. So it's warning me.

430
00:41:41,773 --> 00:41:45,463
It's saying, hey, this is a problem. There's text. You're not everybody can see it.

431
00:41:45,463 --> 00:41:49,453
So, you know, when you get a document, Sevi sends it to you and it looks like it cuts off.

432
00:41:49,453 --> 00:41:55,803
Right. They didn't check that, then check their overset text so we can solve this a couple of ways.

433
00:41:55,803 --> 00:42:00,613
The first way we can do, which is really kind of fine, is we can click this little read plus sign.

434
00:42:00,613 --> 00:42:06,373
And now what we get is this is called the loaded cursor. So now this cursor is loaded.

435
00:42:06,373 --> 00:42:11,563
I already have a text frame set up right here so I can click on this text frame.

436
00:42:11,563 --> 00:42:21,223
And now these text frames are what they call linked. So now if I click over here, I can see that the little white button down here, little white box.

437
00:42:21,223 --> 00:42:27,043
So not the corner, but the one right above it has a little sort of play button sign pointing out.

438
00:42:27,043 --> 00:42:36,043
So that is the output box. And then I can click on this one using the selection tool and up or over here on the upper left hand corner.

439
00:42:36,043 --> 00:42:42,763
This is the input box. So now I can see that this frame is linking over to this frame.

440
00:42:42,763 --> 00:42:46,183
So as I resize this one, this one's gonna fill up.

441
00:42:46,183 --> 00:42:50,623
So this is a fantastic way for you to manage the text on your page.

442
00:42:50,623 --> 00:42:55,723
One of the best ways, because you might want to put images in between.

443
00:42:55,723 --> 00:43:01,183
You might want to have something else in the middle column. You'll want to separate your text too much.

444
00:43:01,183 --> 00:43:10,033
You want it to be kind of obvious where where the reader is going. OK, but this can really help you control your text as these linking text frames.

445
00:43:10,033 --> 00:43:16,313
So very handy. I can start that from the beginning. I don't have to have text in there.

446
00:43:16,313 --> 00:43:20,573
I can go through and set up linking text frames, whatever I want. So we'll do that.

447
00:43:20,573 --> 00:43:25,053
Scratch now. So let's create two text frames.

448
00:43:25,053 --> 00:43:30,983
OK, two separate text friends that are new. And then we're gonna go to our selection tool and we're going to click the first

449
00:43:30,983 --> 00:43:36,083
text frame and we're going to click the output box of the first text frame.

450
00:43:36,083 --> 00:43:40,853
And now we have that real loaded cursor, except it's not so full now because there isn't actually text there.

451
00:43:40,853 --> 00:43:45,893
And then you notice it turns to like a link when we're over a second text frame and we just click the second one.

452
00:43:45,893 --> 00:43:54,593
And now these two are linked here. And we can also see if we go to I think it's view extras showed text threads.

453
00:43:54,593 --> 00:44:00,923
Then now we can see that those are linked. So that's another kind of goal, just a handy view.

454
00:44:00,923 --> 00:44:07,553
So if you get a lot of text frames that are linked together, then you can kind of use that feature to help you.

455
00:44:07,553 --> 00:44:15,113
So we'll hide that for now. But that's like instead of text friends from the beginning, from scratch, if you like, to which is which is very handy.

456
00:44:15,113 --> 00:44:20,813
So now let's kind of scroll or zoom in a bit here.

457
00:44:20,813 --> 00:44:29,993
So we'll just command plus or minus, zoom in a bit and let's talk about maybe some of this text here that we can we can work with.

458
00:44:29,993 --> 00:44:40,523
And so the next thing we need to talk about is, oh, before we do that, we will talk about placing items onto On2.

459
00:44:40,523 --> 00:44:47,633
So before we get into the text, since X frames, does this kind of a big deal when we're working with any kind of new document?

460
00:44:47,633 --> 00:44:56,693
Other things that we can do in order to add to our document is we can also we've done we've placed rectangle shapes in place,

461
00:44:56,693 --> 00:45:05,873
rectangle place holders and things like that. And we've placed text frames. So another thing that we can do is to place graphics.

462
00:45:05,873 --> 00:45:12,593
So typically the way you want to get graphics into your InDesign file is use this fireplace.

463
00:45:12,593 --> 00:45:14,363
And that's kind of weird and bizarre.

464
00:45:14,363 --> 00:45:18,923
And so it's this is why it's important for us to kind of learn the language that has to do with each application.

465
00:45:18,923 --> 00:45:23,843
Right. People want a drag, just drag. Imagine that, doesn't you?

466
00:45:23,843 --> 00:45:32,183
Sometimes it doesn't work. Great. If we use the fireplace command when we're inserting an image into InDesign.

467
00:45:32,183 --> 00:45:38,273
It will automatically include that image in the frame. That's what we want because that's gonna give us more control.

468
00:45:38,273 --> 00:45:43,163
So if we go to fireplace and then let's choose one of our J pegs.

469
00:45:43,163 --> 00:45:48,113
That is a sample. OK. So we'll just choose Mr Jelly Fisher.

470
00:45:48,113 --> 00:45:55,973
So we'll pick that. Now we get the loaded cursor so I can place this graphic so I can click and drag and places graphic wherever we want.

471
00:45:55,973 --> 00:46:04,763
So that's another way that we can place images on our screen if placed something on our document is by doing that.

472
00:46:04,763 --> 00:46:16,363
Another thing that we can do is we can file place and we can place an entire R T.F. Rich text file format, word document or Apple pages.

473
00:46:16,363 --> 00:46:26,393
Those like the three, it'll accept as far as text. So if you create an entire book in Microsoft Word and you want to import the entire thing

474
00:46:26,393 --> 00:46:31,973
into InDesign and then work with the fonts and the spacing and all that kind of stuff,

475
00:46:31,973 --> 00:46:33,963
you can do that by using the fireplace command.

476
00:46:33,963 --> 00:46:40,373
So this is what professional authors use to get their entire book later into design after they're done typing in that kind of thing.

477
00:46:40,373 --> 00:46:46,433
So that's another sort of important thing to understand with placing items that she can do.

478
00:46:46,433 --> 00:46:56,473
So if all places text files, we did that. Perfect. So we're actually going to let's go back to our text box here.

479
00:46:56,473 --> 00:47:03,383
And we'll just selected here. So to get back into adjusting our text, we can double click.

480
00:47:03,383 --> 00:47:05,513
And notice it goes back to the type tool.

481
00:47:05,513 --> 00:47:16,313
So now that I'm in that type tool, I get some options over here as far as how to adjust it if I pull from the character panel over here.

482
00:47:16,313 --> 00:47:25,373
Then that is enabling me to make changes to specific characters within the InDesign text frame that I've selected.

483
00:47:25,373 --> 00:47:33,083
If I choose paragraph options, then it's going to apply to all of the text within that text frame.

484
00:47:33,083 --> 00:47:35,603
So understanding that those two differences is important.

485
00:47:35,603 --> 00:47:44,153
So if I wanted just this sentence to be affected, then I must select it first and I must use the character options.

486
00:47:44,153 --> 00:47:49,433
So here is where I can choose a different font if I want to.

487
00:47:49,433 --> 00:47:53,663
Again, you can go to find more and that will take you to fonts, WB dot com.

488
00:47:53,663 --> 00:48:00,253
You can sign in, you can download even more fonts. You can also filter your fonts, which is very handy.

489
00:48:00,253 --> 00:48:03,653
So if I wanted to filter this by type. OK.

490
00:48:03,653 --> 00:48:13,373
So like, you know, sans serif, which is great to design more online and posters and things like that, you don't want those serif once their fonso,

491
00:48:13,373 --> 00:48:18,593
the ones like the one we have presently chose and where it has little tails on the end of the letters.

492
00:48:18,593 --> 00:48:24,253
That's perfect. Must be used in academic publications and that kind of thing.

493
00:48:24,253 --> 00:48:32,353
But with posters, fliers, something that you want to make it easier to read for people you want to choose a sans serif fonts.

494
00:48:32,353 --> 00:48:37,033
So I can tell it's a filter for sans serif fonts and then it's going to filter.

495
00:48:37,033 --> 00:48:45,063
Just show me the ones that might be a good option. And so I've an aerial here and then I can choose regular taxable.

496
00:48:45,063 --> 00:48:53,383
Do you know whatever I want here? I can also increase the font size. And then let's talk about these other options we have over here.

497
00:48:53,383 --> 00:49:00,343
And so we have a letting, which is the space in between the lines so we can increase that.

498
00:49:00,343 --> 00:49:04,333
And it's affecting this line because it's on that line. So we should keep that in mind.

499
00:49:04,333 --> 00:49:11,233
If we were really doing that, we should put this in a separate text frame or put it on another line and then deal with it.

500
00:49:11,233 --> 00:49:18,253
If I was really designing this, you know, for having one section to be very different.

501
00:49:18,253 --> 00:49:22,963
Usually you're going to want that to be in a different text frame and you can put those text frames right next to each other.

502
00:49:22,963 --> 00:49:27,763
So you can very much control what you're doing, which is very good.

503
00:49:27,763 --> 00:49:33,223
But this is way more options that you get with, like, word. Right. And then you also have tracking.

504
00:49:33,223 --> 00:49:37,573
And you are. So have Kerney that you can adjust.

505
00:49:37,573 --> 00:49:44,653
And so you can make changes to it. And usually what I'll do, I think, is that let me right now, because the way I have it set up,

506
00:49:44,653 --> 00:49:50,113
but it will let you adjust the spaces in between the letters, which is crazy.

507
00:49:50,113 --> 00:49:57,613
So you can do all kinds of amazing adjustments. You can, of course, change it to a ball to list or a numbered list.

508
00:49:57,613 --> 00:50:03,733
All kinds of neat things. You can make a new hyperlink from your text that you've selected right here.

509
00:50:03,733 --> 00:50:07,093
And then we we used to fill with placeholder text as a little shortcut for.

510
00:50:07,093 --> 00:50:11,023
So we'd have some stuff to mess around with. Which is great. Yeah.

511
00:50:11,023 --> 00:50:18,193
And so if we make changes to the paragraph here, you know, and center it, you can see it applies to everything in that text box.

512
00:50:18,193 --> 00:50:22,273
And then notice it didn't apply over here, even though they're linked.

513
00:50:22,273 --> 00:50:26,593
OK. So you have to kind of know which pieces are going to affect what.

514
00:50:26,593 --> 00:50:35,563
And use that to inform how you said your document. So typically what you would want to do is set up separate text frames for your title,

515
00:50:35,563 --> 00:50:42,313
for your subtitles and for your body text later on to when you get deeper into design.

516
00:50:42,313 --> 00:50:51,133
You can set up what they call styles for each of those types of text that you set up so you can make a certain style for your subtitles,

517
00:50:51,133 --> 00:50:58,153
a certain style for your body text in a certain style for your titles. And then you can update that style with a new font.

518
00:50:58,153 --> 00:51:03,673
And then it will change everything that had that style to the new one that you chose.

519
00:51:03,673 --> 00:51:13,163
So that's sort of an advance feature. But if you follow the idea that setting things up in different text frames can be helpful.

520
00:51:13,163 --> 00:51:17,413
And because in the future, then you can use that to help you make styles and stuff like that.

521
00:51:17,413 --> 00:51:23,863
So what we're gonna do next is look at one that has that some of those features.

522
00:51:23,863 --> 00:51:32,893
So let's open a file. So we're going to check out probably understanding frames, I think is the one that has it.

523
00:51:32,893 --> 00:51:35,413
So let's check this one out. Yeah.

524
00:51:35,413 --> 00:51:42,553
And this one is also just a nice sample file for us to look out, because we've talked about several of these things.

525
00:51:42,553 --> 00:51:50,703
You can notice here that they have placed an image and they sort of have they've made a map by loving landscape.

526
00:51:50,703 --> 00:51:56,623
Right. And then they may have used columns to help them, but they do really just kind of divided this in half.

527
00:51:56,623 --> 00:52:01,723
And you can use the ruler to help you, too. As far as sizing it perfectly in the middle.

528
00:52:01,723 --> 00:52:09,673
So they've made a landscape flier. They placed an image. These lovely berries and granola or whatever it is first.

529
00:52:09,673 --> 00:52:14,833
And then what they did is they. They also placed did a rectangle.

530
00:52:14,833 --> 00:52:19,393
Right. With a full color of this salmon kind of color.

531
00:52:19,393 --> 00:52:26,683
And then notice over here, they reduced the opacity. So doing that is a nice way to layer some color in there.

532
00:52:26,683 --> 00:52:37,423
And then these are just overlaid. So these darker sort of salmon colors are because they've taken two rectangles and overlaid them.

533
00:52:37,423 --> 00:52:41,923
They've reduced pass to be when they overlaid them that that increase the opacity.

534
00:52:41,923 --> 00:52:49,123
Right. So just kind of gave it a little bit of visual interest and they lined up, you know, the colors here with this tax.

535
00:52:49,123 --> 00:52:53,093
And this is a text box here that they then placed back.

536
00:52:53,093 --> 00:52:59,773
And it's using some nice white text because they position these images here.

537
00:52:59,773 --> 00:53:04,023
Other things you can use to help you create something like this is you have these

538
00:53:04,023 --> 00:53:10,513
the aligned tool so you can select more than one object using the shift key.

539
00:53:10,513 --> 00:53:15,303
And then what you can do is you can choose to align them to each other in a certain way,

540
00:53:15,303 --> 00:53:20,883
say, OK, so if I wanted them to align up perfectly left than I could do that.

541
00:53:20,883 --> 00:53:25,503
Another tool that helps you do something like this is the arrange tool so we

542
00:53:25,503 --> 00:53:32,843
can set for this one to one to go to the front or forward or some backwards,

543
00:53:32,843 --> 00:53:37,623
you maybe simple like this and something like PowerPoint where you can arrange them.

544
00:53:37,623 --> 00:53:44,253
And then another thing you can do is you can lock an image and that basically sticks it on the background and

545
00:53:44,253 --> 00:53:50,883
makes it so you don't accidentally choose it with a selection tool and drag it and move it accidentally.

546
00:53:50,883 --> 00:53:55,173
You could always do command easy, but sometimes if you know you want something there,

547
00:53:55,173 --> 00:54:00,873
like we know we want this image there, you know, they made they probably already locked it.

548
00:54:00,873 --> 00:54:05,823
So, you know, that way you don't accidentally mess something up.

549
00:54:05,823 --> 00:54:14,193
And you can also choose multiple options, multiple objects and that sort of thing, and you can group them.

550
00:54:14,193 --> 00:54:23,103
So, like, if I know I want this subtitle to always be positioned like that against the spotty text, I can group them.

551
00:54:23,103 --> 00:54:26,523
And now when I move them around, they move together as a group.

552
00:54:26,523 --> 00:54:31,983
Super handy when you're trying to deal with layout and dragging things around and stuff like that.

553
00:54:31,983 --> 00:54:34,863
You can also, as you moving stuff around on your page,

554
00:54:34,863 --> 00:54:45,123
you can use the transform and you can get very specific with hat where this is on the page, pixel wise and all kinds of stuff.

555
00:54:45,123 --> 00:54:48,893
But for now, how would I recommend typically is use these guides to help you.

556
00:54:48,893 --> 00:54:56,013
You can create new guides if you wanted to, but using these to help you and just line things up properly and using that aligned tool.

557
00:54:56,013 --> 00:55:00,753
Very helpful. And we can double click it to sort of ungrouped.

558
00:55:00,753 --> 00:55:09,543
So you can see here how they have used our recommendations of a separate box for the title, separate for subtitles and separate for body text.

559
00:55:09,543 --> 00:55:14,673
And then they've kept those stylus consistent between those two between those styles.

560
00:55:14,673 --> 00:55:23,853
So that's a very nice thing to do. They did a great job sort of line this up, but this is an example of a simple layout that now you know how to do.

561
00:55:23,853 --> 00:55:30,153
And it looks nice and professional and it's great. So let's go back in time while images for a moment.

562
00:55:30,153 --> 00:55:36,703
And we're going to do that by opening our add graphics file here.

563
00:55:36,703 --> 00:55:41,063
OK, so this is a nice example of how somebody used the column.

564
00:55:41,063 --> 00:55:45,093
So remember that columns feature we had at the beginning that we could have chosen?

565
00:55:45,093 --> 00:55:53,763
They chose columns and they adjusted their Guter to a certain spacing that they wanted and that made it easy for them to put in their text frames.

566
00:55:53,763 --> 00:55:59,943
Right. And against these guys, against these columns as guides. So notice when we hit W, we see no lines.

567
00:55:59,943 --> 00:56:04,693
Right. So that's very handy to kind of do that now with images.

568
00:56:04,693 --> 00:56:09,663
You remember we used fireplace to place an image and we didn't have anything selected at that time.

569
00:56:09,663 --> 00:56:15,453
So you're just filed placing it wherever we wanted. We could just click and drag in place it we wanted.

570
00:56:15,453 --> 00:56:21,933
Well, let's say that we have this very nice flier here and we know we want to put a picture here.

571
00:56:21,933 --> 00:56:28,103
What we can do is we can use these rectangle frame tools to help us. So we're gonna select the frame to first.

572
00:56:28,103 --> 00:56:33,093
Then we're going to place a graphic. So let's go place.

573
00:56:33,093 --> 00:56:37,683
Let's do the sea turtle. So cute. So what we're gonna do is we're going to place this sea turtle.

574
00:56:37,683 --> 00:56:42,903
We already have this rectangle frame selected. So kind of predict in your mind what's gonna happen.

575
00:56:42,903 --> 00:56:50,913
Right. So let's go it open. So what it did is it placed that image inside of that text frame.

576
00:56:50,913 --> 00:56:58,353
And it did automatic masking. So this is kind of a nice feature of InDesign because, you know,

577
00:56:58,353 --> 00:57:07,263
you don't have to take this image into Photoshop and resize it and crop it exactly to what you think you're going to need over here and then design.

578
00:57:07,263 --> 00:57:11,193
You don't have to, like, go over here and measure this and figure out, OK, I got to size this. Exactly.

579
00:57:11,193 --> 00:57:14,133
It'll automatically do it, automatically mask it.

580
00:57:14,133 --> 00:57:22,563
And then you have some options inside of you because technically you have a graphic inside of a frame.

581
00:57:22,563 --> 00:57:30,153
So there are two boxes that exist here, essentially. So we have what they call the bounding box, which is the box of the graphic.

582
00:57:30,153 --> 00:57:33,943
And I know this is the graphic is I can resize this and make a change.

583
00:57:33,943 --> 00:57:43,353
Right. So I can manually adjust as myself if I want to. Using that, I can go back to the selection tool and just select the frame.

584
00:57:43,353 --> 00:57:48,483
And then over here, what I can do is I have some frame fitting options.

585
00:57:48,483 --> 00:57:54,483
So if I decide I don't like that and I want, you know, designed to kind of help me,

586
00:57:54,483 --> 00:58:03,453
I can choose different kinds of fittings that I want it to do depending on what I want, or I can go in and adjust this manually myself.

587
00:58:03,453 --> 00:58:06,243
So notice there's like a little Lync button here.

588
00:58:06,243 --> 00:58:14,643
So this is another major concept to understand and then design that when we use that fireplace option, we place that from a file on our computer.

589
00:58:14,643 --> 00:58:20,633
Right. So it is technically in design is linking to that.

590
00:58:20,633 --> 00:58:29,033
On my computer from where I pulled it, and that's very important, I understand, because I wanted somebody else to work on this InDesign file.

591
00:58:29,033 --> 00:58:36,793
If I just sent them what they call the I n d d files. So if we go to save, you guys can say it's gonna be an InDesign file,

592
00:58:36,793 --> 00:58:44,603
is going to have an I n d d file file ending then then if I just saved it as that and sent it to them,

593
00:58:44,603 --> 00:58:46,373
they would get this InDesign file,

594
00:58:46,373 --> 00:58:54,443
but there would be what they call a broken link because they don't have access to that original file that I have on my computer and it's linked.

595
00:58:54,443 --> 00:59:03,383
The reason why I design does this is actually to help you. So if I did want to go open this image on my computer in Photoshop, make changes to it,

596
00:59:03,383 --> 00:59:11,933
make it look cooler and make some effects to it, the next time I open this particular InDesign file with that image.

597
00:59:11,933 --> 00:59:17,783
It would say, hey, do you want to update this photo? Because you make changes to it in Photoshop.

598
00:59:17,783 --> 00:59:25,103
So and so. It's meant to help me so I can use, like the entire Adobe ecosystem to help me make my stuff look amazing.

599
00:59:25,103 --> 00:59:27,773
But if you don't know that, then that can be a problem.

600
00:59:27,773 --> 00:59:34,403
So if you are working with somebody or you've got students working for you and they're designing things and in design,

601
00:59:34,403 --> 00:59:42,443
make sure that when they're finished with the work and you now have it or surmised leaving or graduating or whatever.

602
00:59:42,443 --> 00:59:47,393
Make sure that they file package anytime they're done with a InDesign file.

603
00:59:47,393 --> 00:59:50,993
You should probably have them do this to have them file package,

604
00:59:50,993 --> 00:59:56,803
which creates a zip folder of the InDesign file, as well as any graphics that they included into it.

605
00:59:56,803 --> 01:00:01,763
It makes it take to copy off of their computer and puts it into that package folder.

606
01:00:01,763 --> 01:00:07,733
And then that way you've got it. And so if I were gonna send this to somebody else to edit in InDesign, I would have to file.

607
01:00:07,733 --> 01:00:13,133
Package it. Send them that zip folder. Also, when you send to professional printers,

608
01:00:13,133 --> 01:00:19,013
sometimes they ask for the package file in cases that issue and they need to adjust something or whatever.

609
01:00:19,013 --> 01:00:21,743
Then sometimes they asked for that. So make sure you understand that.

610
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:29,093
So if you open a file and then design and it says, Hey, Broken Link, you can go to your links panel.

611
01:00:29,093 --> 01:00:36,953
And right now it says it's fine. Right. There's no exclamation mark here because I have that on my computer, so it's fine.

612
01:00:36,953 --> 01:00:41,303
But what I can do is I could go here and there will be an option to re link and

613
01:00:41,303 --> 01:00:46,373
then I could go find this full file on my computer if it lost where it was.

614
01:00:46,373 --> 01:00:51,053
So I've moved sea turtle jpeg from that folder to another folder on my computer.

615
01:00:51,053 --> 01:00:57,143
It would give me a missing link error and then I would say, oh, just go find it on my computer and it would go find it.

616
01:00:57,143 --> 01:01:01,103
But if somebody else gave you the file and you don't have that file at all.

617
01:01:01,103 --> 01:01:11,383
That's a big problem. So understanding linked images there is superimportant and how they behave that you have this content grabber that you can,

618
01:01:11,383 --> 01:01:16,043
you know, move the image around inside of that frame.

619
01:01:16,043 --> 01:01:26,693
Another trick is basically you can do if I resize the frame here so we get just the frame notice, then it doesn't resize the image with it.

620
01:01:26,693 --> 01:01:31,133
Right. So another little trick to that is command shift.

621
01:01:31,133 --> 01:01:37,763
While I am holding holding command shift down, while I'm resizing resize as the graphic with the frame.

622
01:01:37,763 --> 01:01:43,793
OK. Now you would want to like do that if it was a tiny picture and then you blow it out in the pixels or anywhere.

623
01:01:43,793 --> 01:01:50,663
And if it's not good quality that wouldn't work. But that's a little trick to to help you if you wanted to resize your pictures.

624
01:01:50,663 --> 01:01:54,023
And you also have an auto fit option over here that you can do.

625
01:01:54,023 --> 01:02:03,683
So those that's some major some of the major concepts are that everything is this sort of frame that you can use these imaginary guides,

626
01:02:03,683 --> 01:02:09,413
you know, sort of to help you and that. How do you deal with graphics in and design?

627
01:02:09,413 --> 01:02:15,233
And the fact that it links your images, you can't do what they call file place embedded.

628
01:02:15,233 --> 01:02:20,783
And then it would embed the file into the InDesign file and then you could send it.

629
01:02:20,783 --> 01:02:27,293
But it is often better just to link it, because then if that person wants to do other stuff to that photo that you haven't done before,

630
01:02:27,293 --> 01:02:33,833
then it's kind of like the most editable version that you're giving them on Celestis, kind of good practice.

631
01:02:33,833 --> 01:02:37,103
So those are the basics of InDesign.

632
01:02:37,103 --> 01:02:43,703
So hopefully that helps you kind of get some ideas about how to use in design and get started in it and that sort of thing.

633
01:02:43,703 --> 01:02:47,603
Again, I would challenge you to try and design within the next few days.

634
01:02:47,603 --> 01:02:52,673
Also have some great links, a whole nother presentation on how to use and design to create a resume.

635
01:02:52,673 --> 01:02:53,783
Let people use it for that,

636
01:02:53,783 --> 01:03:01,433
because you can tell right now how much easier it would be than words like a line up your dates and all your stuff for your resume.

637
01:03:01,433 --> 01:03:10,673
And you can make it look nice, too, if you want to. And we also there's also several other helpful links on today's presentation.

638
01:03:10,673 --> 01:03:17,693
I can hang out for about like five minutes or so. I have another meeting to get to after this, but I can hang out for five minutes or so.

639
01:03:17,693 --> 01:03:26,223
You guys have some questions. I would be happy to take some questions, and if you guys have a chance, I haven't changed this.

640
01:03:26,223 --> 01:03:31,983
You are ready yet. I need to do that to the iron or see one if you get a chance.

641
01:03:31,983 --> 01:03:35,993
Feel free to complete. And then there's a link right here.

642
01:03:35,993 --> 01:03:42,123
A brief survey on how today's presentation was because mom was looking to improve.

643
01:03:42,123 --> 01:03:45,873
So feel free to do that. But I'm going to hang out for a few minutes.

644
01:03:45,873 --> 01:03:51,813
If you guys have a question, then please feel free to amuse yourself otherwise.

645
01:03:51,813 --> 01:03:59,543
