Indesign tutorial

Today we had an older student from our school coming in to teach us a bit about Indesign. It was actually aimed for technology lesson but I am making use of the knowledge I got for Personal Project. One really good thing is that I found out that on Indesign it is possible to create a proper nice book so I won't have to modify anything as the layout will be already set. I also learned all the basics and how to do background etc. It was quite useful and I now know what the program looks like.

Here are some of the things I learnt:

  • You have to choose the option "create book" before starting 
  • Insert the number of pages and the format 
  • It's important to use high quality picture that were turned in JPG format so they will turn out nicer when printing 
  • You have to create a folder before starting and there you will upload everything that you need to add to the magazine and the magazine itself will be saved there 
  • I learnt how to add picture, text boxes, colour the page
  • Change the colour system so it is better when printing it 
  • Turn the final result in PDF version before printing it
