Adobe Indesign workshop
Adobe indesign is used for printing and is used in the industry properly more advanced than illustrator.
Theres many similarities as photoshop and illustrator (tool bar).


Creating a new document FILE>NEW>DOCUMENT
We are selecting to print.
The page is the size of whatever your going to print.

We next selected more options which gives us additional options.
giving the options to...
We can select a set amount of columns and change the gutter ( the space between the columns).
Bleeding is used for images and text to run off the page.

Always selecting 3mm
Selecting facing pages , like a book. on the screen the pages will face.
If a mistakes been made when creating the document you can click file  > document setup- You can change layout settings margin and bleeds all of them options are changeable once you have setup your document.


You can view how many pages you have in the pages column you can add and delete them. We repeated this process but making a new document and selecting facing pages.

You can select layout > for grids and guides.
We filled a text box with > PLACE HOLDER TEXT. so that we can see what it would look like.(dummy text)


In design work shop 17.01



If i  have a missing link in design a red hexagon will appear to show you.

This was an old option to help manage your image

We added in a photo from the user work called cardinle large. we placed the photo and it opened up large over the size of my a4 doc. to make the image smaller i first clicked on the circle in the middle of the photo and then dragged the corners holding shift so that it would resize.

we right clicked and looked at the edit with option it didn't have photoshop selected as the deafault so we wanted to change this. 



We found the cardinal.tif in the finder and pressed apple button and i this brought all of the information up. We then changed the edit option to photoshop.



Now the edit with button will always lead to adobe photoshop (deafault.)

We then had the image in photoshop and we changed the percentage and made the with and heigh both 29. We then also made sure the image was CYMK available for print.

We next got an image of a gull and put it into photoshop unlocking the layer, we used the lasso tool and selected the area around the gull.
We inversed the image and pressed delete this deletes the outside of the image.
