WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:03.530 --> 00:00:10.410 In this video we're going to create our flier document, 00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:12.030 we're going to have the page size, 00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:13.830 this little red line around the outside which is 00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:16.440 bleed and our margins all set up ready to go. 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.380 Let's go and do that. Create our documents, 00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:21.375 your welcome screen might look a little different. 00:00:21.375 --> 00:00:23.890 I've got all these documents that I've previously worked on, 00:00:23.890 --> 00:00:25.840 so I'm going to go up to here and go to new. 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:28.460 You might be on CC files or something else weird. 00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:31.025 I'm going to click on new and if you can't see that, 00:00:31.025 --> 00:00:33.140 go up to file new document, 00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:36.465 we all end up in the exact same place which is here. 00:00:36.465 --> 00:00:41.060 What we're going to do is you're probably going to be working in print, 00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:43.310 we are in this case, and it gives you some presets. 00:00:43.310 --> 00:00:44.990 You can see here view will presets, 00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:46.730 there's a bunch of stuff we can use, 00:00:46.730 --> 00:00:49.160 we'll probably never use your compact disc anymore, 00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.435 but anyway, it's in their. 00:00:50.435 --> 00:00:53.360 Business cards some useful sizes and in terms 00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:56.120 of width and mobile sizes are done in here as well. 00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:58.490 If you're designing any design for web, 00:00:58.490 --> 00:01:00.950 it's not primarily used for that, but you can. 00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:02.220 We are going to use print, 00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:04.110 in our case we're going to US. 00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:05.490 We are going to do like flash size, 00:01:05.490 --> 00:01:06.825 we are going to do half later. 00:01:06.825 --> 00:01:10.745 If you are following the country that uses millimeters in the A sizes, 00:01:10.745 --> 00:01:12.905 this would be an A5. 00:01:12.905 --> 00:01:14.210 We use it as often a full, 00:01:14.210 --> 00:01:17.480 so we're going to do half a US later, 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.760 and we're going to make sure you can see, 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.200 you can override it over here. 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.110 It's still thinks I'm in here, which I am. 00:01:24.110 --> 00:01:27.050 You can trade it over here. Next thing is the orientation. 00:01:27.050 --> 00:01:29.370 I want to put it landscape facing pages. 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 00:01:33.470 --> 00:01:37.650 when we stopped building like multiple page brochure further on in this course, 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. 00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:44.420 Probably takes time as well. It's it's a little bit 00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:47.270 complicated and we'll do that in a later video as well. 00:01:47.270 --> 00:01:49.690 But just make sure they're off for the moment number of pages. 00:01:49.690 --> 00:01:51.080 You can add them later if you want, 00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:53.150 was going to start with one columns, 00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:55.655 When only going to have one column, in this case, 00:01:55.655 --> 00:01:57.470 we're looking at multiple column layout when we get 00:01:57.470 --> 00:01:59.600 into some more text heavy documents that are 00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:04.295 on margins we'll leave as the default and yours might be a little bit different. 00:02:04.295 --> 00:02:08.000 You can see margins and blade. 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.895 You might just pull those down if you can't see them. 00:02:10.895 --> 00:02:12.620 I'm going to this blade when he has, 00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.140 I've done my margins, left them as the default bleed. 00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:17.870 What I'll do is I'll get the real Dan to jump out and 00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:21.900 show you this because it's been at in-person, take it away Dan. 00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:25.790 Apparently I am the real Dan and this real Dan would 00:02:25.790 --> 00:02:29.150 like to explain bleed and slug because as my example book. 00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:31.700 Now what happens when the printing we'll know 00:02:31.700 --> 00:02:34.730 that like say this image of the front take us right to the edge, 00:02:34.730 --> 00:02:36.095 black goes right to the edge, 00:02:36.095 --> 00:02:37.220 the add on the back, 00:02:37.220 --> 00:02:40.445 right to the age, pretty much all of these pages. 00:02:40.445 --> 00:02:43.640 Well, these ads here go to the edge of the page. 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:45.440 But we know that when we're printing, 00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:46.955 say at home or at the office, 00:02:46.955 --> 00:02:49.670 we can have a print right to the edge of a white bit, a paper, 00:02:49.670 --> 00:02:52.715 because the printed this doesn't go that close to the edge. 00:02:52.715 --> 00:02:56.900 That's the same for big commercial offset printers as well. 00:02:56.900 --> 00:02:59.410 It doesn't really matter that you can't print right to the edge. 00:02:59.410 --> 00:03:04.285 What happens is you print on a little bit of paper that's a little bit bigger. 00:03:04.285 --> 00:03:07.545 Say it needs to be later or A4. 00:03:07.545 --> 00:03:13.180 What they do is they printed on a sheet called SI for which is just a little bit bigger. 00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:16.280 Then I print inside of that and then they'd guillotine it 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.950 off afterwards down to the original size. 00:03:18.950 --> 00:03:20.780 Now that guillotine is never perfect, 00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:22.910 they try and landed up perfect, 00:03:22.910 --> 00:03:25.340 but you need a little bit of wiggle room for the guillotine 00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.870 to maybe like slice a little bit higher or a little bit lower. 00:03:27.870 --> 00:03:32.045 You don't want to ride on the age because they might end up with a little white strip. 00:03:32.045 --> 00:03:35.590 What you do in indesign is you add a little bit of bleed, 00:03:35.590 --> 00:03:42.935 three millimeters for metric and eighth of an inch for imperial or 0.125 of an inch, 00:03:42.935 --> 00:03:44.630 if you using decimal places. 00:03:44.630 --> 00:03:47.855 What happens is you just make your document that tiny bit bigger 00:03:47.855 --> 00:03:51.785 all the way around so that the guillotine has got something to cut off, 00:03:51.785 --> 00:03:53.410 okay, and it ends up in the bend. 00:03:53.410 --> 00:03:56.060 Nothing important there because it laid up in the bend, 00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:59.810 but it gets cut down to this final size Happens especially with magazines. 00:03:59.810 --> 00:04:04.020 Magazines are printed and bound and often they don't look this nice. 00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:05.685 This has got a really sharp, 00:04:05.685 --> 00:04:09.845 crisp edge, but that never happens when it gets bound. 00:04:09.845 --> 00:04:11.800 That only happens after it's been guillotine, 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.375 it's quite missy if you've ever seen magazine that's being printed, 00:04:14.375 --> 00:04:17.630 that doesn't yet, that hasn't been yet been trimmed up. 00:04:17.630 --> 00:04:21.020 It's actually little pages are mixed up and not lined up nicely. 00:04:21.020 --> 00:04:22.500 It's not until guillotine 00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:28.320 happens and the bleed is cut off before they look nice and tidy. 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:30.335 Now in terms of slug, now, 00:04:30.335 --> 00:04:33.155 the cool thing about slug is you just won't use it. 00:04:33.155 --> 00:04:36.680 People doing the design side often don't use slug. 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.770 It's more the printing or production side of things. 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. 00:04:44.260 --> 00:04:46.880 The slug is the biggest chunk like an inch 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:50.005 around the outside and in that you can write notes. 00:04:50.005 --> 00:04:53.165 If you're the printer and you know that this covers a bit special 00:04:53.165 --> 00:04:56.780 and it has something that needs to be glued to it on a special spot you could write. 00:04:56.780 --> 00:05:00.290 He is with us, gets glued to or maybe this gets 00:05:00.290 --> 00:05:04.005 stapled to this button folded over or something special, 00:05:04.005 --> 00:05:07.160 or just anything that 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.660 maybe helped the production later on after it comes off the printers, 00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:15.390 say maybe this gets put with per A and per B. 00:05:15.390 --> 00:05:17.300 It's a terrible explanation, 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. 00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:24.605 I've never had to put bleed on in my entire career, 00:05:24.605 --> 00:05:27.050 knew probably want to either unleash 00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:29.870 a work may be behind the scenes and not an offset printer, 00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:31.070 a big commercial printer, 00:05:31.070 --> 00:05:33.200 you might be adding blood, 00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:36.425 you might be adding slug afterwards and adding these notes to it. 00:05:36.425 --> 00:05:37.970 It's a bleed definitely, 00:05:37.970 --> 00:05:39.640 slug pretty much never. 00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:42.080 Did that help? Hope it helped. 00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:44.060 You can go back to the other Dan, 00:05:44.060 --> 00:05:47.600 the disembodied voice talking over the screen. 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.870 We know we need bleed, 00:05:50.870 --> 00:05:56.520 of 0.125 inches, or an eighth of an inch. 00:05:56.520 --> 00:05:58.175 Or if you're metric, 00:05:58.175 --> 00:06:00.070 you can just type in three millimeters. 00:06:00.070 --> 00:06:01.820 You can see I can type in three millimeters and just 00:06:01.820 --> 00:06:03.680 click somewhere else and it does the conversion for me. 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.450 I know it's not exactly the same, 00:06:05.450 --> 00:06:07.360 but this is just the way it is. 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.920 Different people use different sized leads, 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:11.720 and the slug, we don't use you, 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.955 so we're going to leave that as it is and let's click Create. 00:06:15.955 --> 00:06:17.985 Stand back, we have a document. 00:06:17.985 --> 00:06:19.485 I'm going to zoom out a little bit. 00:06:19.485 --> 00:06:26.430 Zooming is Command Minus on a Mac or Control minus on your keyboard, if you're on a PC. 00:06:26.430 --> 00:06:29.060 What I want to do is show you the different pots here. 00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:32.225 The edge of the big white box is the edge of our page. 00:06:32.225 --> 00:06:37.290 In our case, it's the US half later and we've got these two other colored boxes here. 00:06:37.290 --> 00:06:40.330 I've got the red one and this magenta one here. 00:06:40.330 --> 00:06:41.970 The magenta is the margins. 00:06:41.970 --> 00:06:46.250 They don't do anything they are just the visual guide to keep everything inside and 00:06:46.250 --> 00:06:48.290 away from the edges of the page because 00:06:48.290 --> 00:06:50.610 we all know that our printers don't print right to the edge, 00:06:50.610 --> 00:06:53.495 so there's like a consistent box around the edge there. 00:06:53.495 --> 00:06:55.250 The other one we're going to look at is 00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:58.010 this red one here and that is the bleed we discussed. 00:06:58.010 --> 00:07:02.875 Everything that goes over this edge prepare to get chopped off and put in the bin. 00:07:02.875 --> 00:07:05.510 Before we go any further, let's go and save this document. 00:07:05.510 --> 00:07:08.210 Let's go up to file and it's going to save. 00:07:08.210 --> 00:07:09.395 We were going to save it. 00:07:09.395 --> 00:07:10.940 I'm going to save on my desktop, 00:07:10.940 --> 00:07:12.665 I'm going to make a new folder. 00:07:12.665 --> 00:07:14.750 If you're using a Mac and it's a new Mac, 00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:16.700 you might be looking like this. It looks a little different. 00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:18.140 Click this little arrow here. 00:07:18.140 --> 00:07:21.380 Find your desktop on the left-hand side make a new folder. 00:07:21.380 --> 00:07:23.785 I'm going to call this one "Indesign". 00:07:23.785 --> 00:07:26.715 Class files. Click Create, 00:07:26.715 --> 00:07:30.215 and we'll stick everything we make during this long course into that folder. 00:07:30.215 --> 00:07:31.625 In terms of the naming, 00:07:31.625 --> 00:07:35.550 we're going to call this one, good at heart, 00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:37.190 because that's the client's [inaudible] and put 00:07:37.190 --> 00:07:39.410 a hyphen in and we're going to put in flyer, 00:07:39.410 --> 00:07:41.405 and this is going to be V1. 00:07:41.405 --> 00:07:43.100 Always give it a vision number, 00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:44.390 because you'll going to make changes. 00:07:44.390 --> 00:07:46.100 People could come back a V1, 00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:48.650 V2 or ABC is just fine. 00:07:48.650 --> 00:07:51.740 Never call it final, final is like the kiss of death, if you call it final, 00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:54.050 the universe will send you adjustments and you'll 00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:56.450 have to call it like final tool, or final revisited. 00:07:56.450 --> 00:07:58.250 Some people chuckling because you've probably 00:07:58.250 --> 00:08:00.410 got files just like that all over your computer. 00:08:00.410 --> 00:08:02.495 We're going to use the V system. 00:08:02.495 --> 00:08:05.930 Let's click save. That's it for this video, 00:08:05.930 --> 00:08:08.610 my friends, let's get on to the next one.
