InDesign Workshop


Things that might be useful to remember - 

New document  setup.
bleed is used for when you print and cut out you wont have any white borders where the page may have been cut wrong, a standard bleed length would be about 3mm, this gives you room for error, or printing error.
Margins are used for specific print documents for example a newspaper layout, ect.
Facing pages are for when your laying out a book

Standard document -
On the side bar menu is a pallet for all your pages, this is an overview of your document which also includes all your layers plus the pages you have been working on. In the top right hand corner of the pages pallet there is a personal menu for single pages here you can add or remove them.

Facing pages document -
We started by using 4 pages in the document, this comes out as a single page at the front a double page spread in the middle and a single page at the back, this is basically an a4 sheet of paper folded in half, this would be the end result.

If you double click ruler tool you can make marks to snap to, works on all adobe platforms.

when making text and want to see how a font looks in a certain pace go on the type drop down menu and go to create placeholder text
place the image same as how the text was placed, you can crop an image easily by adjusting the box, but only hafter you have held down on one of the adjusting handles for a second.
