1 00:00:03,530 --> 00:00:10,410 In this video we're going to create our flier document, 2 00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:12,030 we're going to have the page size, 3 00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:13,830 this little red line around the outside which is 4 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:16,440 bleed and our margins all set up ready to go. 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,380 Let's go and do that. Create our documents, 6 00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:21,380 your welcome screen might look a little different. 7 00:00:21,375 --> 00:00:23,895 I've got all these documents that I've previously worked on, 8 00:00:23,890 --> 00:00:25,840 so I'm going to go up to here and go to new. 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,460 You might be on CC files or something else weird. 10 00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:31,030 I'm going to click on new and if you can't see that, 11 00:00:31,025 --> 00:00:33,145 go up to file new document, 12 00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:36,470 we all end up in the exact same place which is here. 13 00:00:36,465 --> 00:00:41,065 What we're going to do is you're probably going to be working in print, 14 00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:43,310 we are in this case, and it gives you some presets. 15 00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:44,990 You can see here view will presets, 16 00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:46,730 there's a bunch of stuff we can use, 17 00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:49,160 we'll probably never use your compact disc anymore, 18 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:50,440 but anyway, it's in their. 19 00:00:50,435 --> 00:00:53,365 Business cards some useful sizes and in terms 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,120 of width and mobile sizes are done in here as well. 21 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,490 If you're designing any design for web, 22 00:00:58,490 --> 00:01:00,950 it's not primarily used for that, but you can. 23 00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:02,220 We are going to use print, 24 00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,110 in our case we're going to US. 25 00:01:04,110 --> 00:01:05,490 We are going to do like flash size, 26 00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:06,830 we are going to do half later. 27 00:01:06,825 --> 00:01:10,745 If you are following the country that uses millimeters in the A sizes, 28 00:01:10,745 --> 00:01:12,905 this would be an A5. 29 00:01:12,905 --> 00:01:14,215 We use it as often a full, 30 00:01:14,210 --> 00:01:17,480 so we're going to do half a US later, 31 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,760 and we're going to make sure you can see, 32 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,200 you can override it over here. 33 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,110 It's still thinks I'm in here, which I am. 34 00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:27,050 You can trade it over here. Next thing is the orientation. 35 00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:29,370 I want to put it landscape facing pages. 36 00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:33,470 We're going to turn off and facing pages we'll go into a lot more detail 37 00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:37,650 when we stopped building like multiple page brochure further on in this course, 38 00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:42,430 but for a moment, if you're just doing like a one-page thing, all facing pages. 39 00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:44,420 Probably takes time as well. It's it's a little bit 40 00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:47,270 complicated and we'll do that in a later video as well. 41 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:49,690 But just make sure they're off for the moment number of pages. 42 00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:51,080 You can add them later if you want, 43 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,150 was going to start with one columns, 44 00:01:53,150 --> 00:01:55,660 When only going to have one column, in this case, 45 00:01:55,655 --> 00:01:57,475 we're looking at multiple column layout when we get 46 00:01:57,470 --> 00:01:59,600 into some more text heavy documents that are 47 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,300 on margins we'll leave as the default and yours might be a little bit different. 48 00:02:04,295 --> 00:02:08,005 You can see margins and blade. 49 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,900 You might just pull those down if you can't see them. 50 00:02:10,895 --> 00:02:12,625 I'm going to this blade when he has, 51 00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:15,140 I've done my margins, left them as the default bleed. 52 00:02:15,140 --> 00:02:17,870 What I'll do is I'll get the real Dan to jump out and 53 00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:21,900 show you this because it's been at in-person, take it away Dan. 54 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,790 Apparently I am the real Dan and this real Dan would 55 00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:29,150 like to explain bleed and slug because as my example book. 56 00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,700 Now what happens when the printing we'll know 57 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:34,730 that like say this image of the front take us right to the edge, 58 00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:36,100 black goes right to the edge, 59 00:02:36,095 --> 00:02:37,225 the add on the back, 60 00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:40,450 right to the age, pretty much all of these pages. 61 00:02:40,445 --> 00:02:43,645 Well, these ads here go to the edge of the page. 62 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,440 But we know that when we're printing, 63 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,960 say at home or at the office, 64 00:02:46,955 --> 00:02:49,675 we can have a print right to the edge of a white bit, a paper, 65 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:52,720 because the printed this doesn't go that close to the edge. 66 00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:56,905 That's the same for big commercial offset printers as well. 67 00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,410 It doesn't really matter that you can't print right to the edge. 68 00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:04,290 What happens is you print on a little bit of paper that's a little bit bigger. 69 00:03:04,285 --> 00:03:07,545 Say it needs to be later or A4. 70 00:03:07,545 --> 00:03:13,185 What they do is they printed on a sheet called SI for which is just a little bit bigger. 71 00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:16,280 Then I print inside of that and then they'd guillotine it 72 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,950 off afterwards down to the original size. 73 00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:20,780 Now that guillotine is never perfect, 74 00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:22,910 they try and landed up perfect, 75 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:25,340 but you need a little bit of wiggle room for the guillotine 76 00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:27,870 to maybe like slice a little bit higher or a little bit lower. 77 00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:32,050 You don't want to ride on the age because they might end up with a little white strip. 78 00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:35,595 What you do in indesign is you add a little bit of bleed, 79 00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:42,940 three millimeters for metric and eighth of an inch for imperial or 0.125 of an inch, 80 00:03:42,935 --> 00:03:44,635 if you using decimal places. 81 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:47,860 What happens is you just make your document that tiny bit bigger 82 00:03:47,855 --> 00:03:51,785 all the way around so that the guillotine has got something to cut off, 83 00:03:51,785 --> 00:03:53,415 okay, and it ends up in the bend. 84 00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:56,060 Nothing important there because it laid up in the bend, 85 00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,810 but it gets cut down to this final size Happens especially with magazines. 86 00:03:59,810 --> 00:04:04,020 Magazines are printed and bound and often they don't look this nice. 87 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:05,690 This has got a really sharp, 88 00:04:05,685 --> 00:04:09,845 crisp edge, but that never happens when it gets bound. 89 00:04:09,845 --> 00:04:11,805 That only happens after it's been guillotine, 90 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,380 it's quite missy if you've ever seen magazine that's being printed, 91 00:04:14,375 --> 00:04:17,635 that doesn't yet, that hasn't been yet been trimmed up. 92 00:04:17,630 --> 00:04:21,020 It's actually little pages are mixed up and not lined up nicely. 93 00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:22,500 It's not until guillotine 94 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:28,320 happens and the bleed is cut off before they look nice and tidy. 95 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,340 Now in terms of slug, now, 96 00:04:30,335 --> 00:04:33,155 the cool thing about slug is you just won't use it. 97 00:04:33,155 --> 00:04:36,685 People doing the design side often don't use slug. 98 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,770 It's more the printing or production side of things. 99 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:44,260 Let's say that the bleed is just like in that is a little bit run the outside. 100 00:04:44,260 --> 00:04:46,880 The slug is the biggest chunk like an inch 101 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,010 around the outside and in that you can write notes. 102 00:04:50,005 --> 00:04:53,165 If you're the printer and you know that this covers a bit special 103 00:04:53,165 --> 00:04:56,785 and it has something that needs to be glued to it on a special spot you could write. 104 00:04:56,780 --> 00:05:00,290 He is with us, gets glued to or maybe this gets 105 00:05:00,290 --> 00:05:04,010 stapled to this button folded over or something special, 106 00:05:04,005 --> 00:05:07,165 or just anything that 107 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,660 maybe helped the production later on after it comes off the printers, 108 00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:15,390 say maybe this gets put with per A and per B. 109 00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:17,300 It's a terrible explanation, 110 00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:21,410 but it's just notes that the printer ads it'll wait trimmed off and checked in the bin. 111 00:05:21,410 --> 00:05:24,610 I've never had to put bleed on in my entire career, 112 00:05:24,605 --> 00:05:27,055 knew probably want to either unleash 113 00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:29,870 a work may be behind the scenes and not an offset printer, 114 00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:31,070 a big commercial printer, 115 00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:33,200 you might be adding blood, 116 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,430 you might be adding slug afterwards and adding these notes to it. 117 00:05:36,425 --> 00:05:37,975 It's a bleed definitely, 118 00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:39,640 slug pretty much never. 119 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,080 Did that help? Hope it helped. 120 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,060 You can go back to the other Dan, 121 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:47,600 the disembodied voice talking over the screen. 122 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,870 We know we need bleed, 123 00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:56,520 of 0.125 inches, or an eighth of an inch. 124 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,180 Or if you're metric, 125 00:05:58,175 --> 00:06:00,075 you can just type in three millimeters. 126 00:06:00,070 --> 00:06:01,820 You can see I can type in three millimeters and just 127 00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,680 click somewhere else and it does the conversion for me. 128 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,450 I know it's not exactly the same, 129 00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:07,360 but this is just the way it is. 130 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,920 Different people use different sized leads, 131 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,720 and the slug, we don't use you, 132 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,960 so we're going to leave that as it is and let's click Create. 133 00:06:15,955 --> 00:06:17,985 Stand back, we have a document. 134 00:06:17,985 --> 00:06:19,485 I'm going to zoom out a little bit. 135 00:06:19,485 --> 00:06:26,435 Zooming is Command Minus on a Mac or Control minus on your keyboard, if you're on a PC. 136 00:06:26,430 --> 00:06:29,060 What I want to do is show you the different pots here. 137 00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:32,230 The edge of the big white box is the edge of our page. 138 00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:37,295 In our case, it's the US half later and we've got these two other colored boxes here. 139 00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:40,330 I've got the red one and this magenta one here. 140 00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:41,970 The magenta is the margins. 141 00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:46,250 They don't do anything they are just the visual guide to keep everything inside and 142 00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:48,290 away from the edges of the page because 143 00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,610 we all know that our printers don't print right to the edge, 144 00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:53,500 so there's like a consistent box around the edge there. 145 00:06:53,495 --> 00:06:55,255 The other one we're going to look at is 146 00:06:55,250 --> 00:06:58,010 this red one here and that is the bleed we discussed. 147 00:06:58,010 --> 00:07:02,880 Everything that goes over this edge prepare to get chopped off and put in the bin. 148 00:07:02,875 --> 00:07:05,515 Before we go any further, let's go and save this document. 149 00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:08,210 Let's go up to file and it's going to save. 150 00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:09,400 We were going to save it. 151 00:07:09,395 --> 00:07:10,945 I'm going to save on my desktop, 152 00:07:10,940 --> 00:07:12,670 I'm going to make a new folder. 153 00:07:12,665 --> 00:07:14,755 If you're using a Mac and it's a new Mac, 154 00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:16,700 you might be looking like this. It looks a little different. 155 00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:18,140 Click this little arrow here. 156 00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:21,380 Find your desktop on the left-hand side make a new folder. 157 00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:23,790 I'm going to call this one "Indesign". 158 00:07:23,785 --> 00:07:26,715 Class files. Click Create, 159 00:07:26,715 --> 00:07:30,215 and we'll stick everything we make during this long course into that folder. 160 00:07:30,215 --> 00:07:31,625 In terms of the naming, 161 00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:35,555 we're going to call this one, good at heart, 162 00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:37,190 because that's the client's [inaudible] and put 163 00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:39,410 a hyphen in and we're going to put in flyer, 164 00:07:39,410 --> 00:07:41,410 and this is going to be V1. 165 00:07:41,405 --> 00:07:43,105 Always give it a vision number, 166 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:44,390 because you'll going to make changes. 167 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:46,100 People could come back a V1, 168 00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,650 V2 or ABC is just fine. 169 00:07:48,650 --> 00:07:51,740 Never call it final, final is like the kiss of death, if you call it final, 170 00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:54,050 the universe will send you adjustments and you'll 171 00:07:54,050 --> 00:07:56,450 have to call it like final tool, or final revisited. 172 00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:58,250 Some people chuckling because you've probably 173 00:07:58,250 --> 00:08:00,410 got files just like that all over your computer. 174 00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:02,500 We're going to use the V system. 175 00:08:02,495 --> 00:08:05,935 Let's click save. That's it for this video, 176 00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:08,610 my friends, let's get on to the next one.
