The initial Indesign session introduced the software and covered; setup of a new document, inserting text frames and images.Indesign is a piece of software used in industry to mass produce publications such as books, magazines and flyers. The induction sessions run in tandem with a book making studio brief.
We began to look at Indesign by starting a new document (file, new, document)...
Following this I learnt how to use text frames. I found the use of text tools in Indesign to have strong similarities to those of Photoshop. Straight forward.
Text was followed swiftly by images. Indesign uses previews of images meaning that the programme needs to know the location of each original file, I was encouraged to keep very organised as to not misplace essential files used by Indesign.
As Indesign is used to design documents that will eventually be printed each inserted image must be of printable quality. Before transferring images to Indesign they must be specifically three hundred DPI as well as being in either CYMK or PSD formats. All images must also be of the desired size before transferred into the InDesign file. Images are brought into InDesign using file, place. Images then can be placed at one's will. Resizing is also possible however is not recommended as resolution is reduced if the image is increased.
