Sharing Design Something Awesome Proposals
I am particularly interested in any research on print production.
Crucible Design Project
Starts Wednesday (team formation, examining the copy, project requirements and due dates).
Setting Up a Multi-Page Document in InDesign / Introduction to Master Pages
Today we are going to set up a document template for the Crucible project. Additionally, we are going to set up a very simple Master document with page numbers.
- New Document > 6×9 > 32 pages
- Pages panel (None vs Master)
- Rename Master
- New Layer > Text Box > Page Numbers
- New Master
- How to Edit a Master
If you want/need to review Master documents in your InDesign CRiaB, see the chapter on Setting Up a Document and Working with Pages.
Homework
If you’ve completed your proposal, then you are good for Wednesday.
