NYC Report Brief - February 24th 5 min. Presentation.
InDesign- sophisticated program for all multiple page documents (and posters).
Pick images I can narrate, can use a few images from internet.
Step 1: Prepare your content, put all images in one folder save them as 300dpi in CMYK colour format.
Cataloging your images
Adobe Bridge: gives you a preview of all files, cataloging by using kew words. Use words that are useful and future proof, can use a few words to label each image and it will appear in all categories it's been tagged with. e.g. Background textures.
Create moodboards. Collate images in Adobe Bridge: select images choose template in top right corner to put all images on one page, this makes it easier to print images.
Plan my booklet to develop a style.
Binding styles:
Saddle stitch- multiple of 4 pages (front and back) no spine, limited page numbers. Must be multiple of 4 page numbers.
Perfect binding- magazine type, glue, needs a cover and spine. FIND SOMEWHERE TO DO THIS.
Stab binding- can be made of single pages, doesn't open flat, looks quite homemade/ artistic.
Coil or Comb binding- inexpensive, opens flat. Not creative more appropriate for informative books.
Plan booklet- time frame, printers, layout, margins, bleed.
Create a mockup in physical form before going to InDesign.
To get images right to edge - full bleed - need to print on larger papar and trim down.
Grid structure - keeps the pages neat and gives visual consistentcy throughout the pages.
Use 'Master Pages' Pages - A master - go up to layout - add in rows and columns - for page numbers: add text box.
SVe back up on cloud of Dropbox.
Save as PDF - file and export.
Save as print to ensure all images are right quality, save as web for ISSUU etc.
Can export with pages as spreads or as pages. Compression to reduce massive files.
Turn off hyphenation- typography a deselect hyphenate.
