Here is a quick little bog post about, this mornings tutorial I had with Rob and the rest of the class in which he reminded us how to use InDesign and the processes of framing images and text as well as some more advanced techniques when it comes to formatting text in the program.
We recreated situations that would create errors so that we knew how to notice and fix these errors for future reference. One of the errors we created was through overflowing text which meant that not all fo the text fit within the frame we created for this. There are several solutions to this problem, the first being to reduce the size of the font, if that is not an option then you can try to reduce the amount of text that you have in the frame and if those two aren't options then you can create another frame and have the overflowing text fill the secondary frame as seen below:
Rob also spoke to us about how to properly save and export and how when saving you should save the work as two different files, one as an 'InDesign CC 2019' file and the other as an 'InDesign CS4 or Later' so that I will be able to access the files on any computer irrelevant of what version of InDesign I am using.
I didn't plan on using InDesign within my project however I know that this refreshing will be useful and important for future projects or workshops.
After using InDesign we looked into the use of Adobe Acrobat and how we can use to print out our work and the settings we should use depending on what sort of work we are trying to produce. For example if I am making a digital presentation with double pages I wasn't to export to a PDF with 'Spread-pages' ticked to be true, however if I am printing out a book then I need to once again export as a PDF but instead of using spread pages I need to use the tick box 'Pages'.
Then printing from Adobe Acrobat is fast and simple as all it requires is the press of 'cmd' and 'P' and from there you need to select the 'handling' so that it knows the format to print in as well as which sheets to print.
