1
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:13,430
We're going to look at bringing in images and logos and rotating them.

2
00:00:13,425 --> 00:00:15,305
We'll look at this one where we've cropped it.

3
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,130
You can see, look at this sneaky.

4
00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:18,600
This one's actually a little bit bigger.

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,290
Okay. Corrupted into a nice little box will flip them.

6
00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:23,600
We'll do all stuff with images.

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,960
All right, let's go and do that now.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,880
To bring in an image,

9
00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:31,315
icon or any visual graphic, it's the same.

10
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:32,680
First thing we need to do though,

11
00:00:32,675 --> 00:00:34,495
is we need to get in the habit of,

12
00:00:34,495 --> 00:00:36,335
if I have my black arrow selected,

13
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:41,120
and just click off in this dark gray area around the side here so that nothing selected.

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,200
There's a more official way you can go to Edit and go to de-select all.

15
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:50,690
We've got nothing selected then we're going to go to File Place.

16
00:00:50,690 --> 00:00:52,930
Remember that's important for InDesign.

17
00:00:52,925 --> 00:00:58,645
Pick the 01 flier folder and this one called lunch.

18
00:00:58,645 --> 00:01:01,515
Now your cursor is loaded with

19
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:04,240
this little image and you've got two ways of putting it in there.

20
00:01:04,235 --> 00:01:06,775
Now when you bringing in images into InDesign,

21
00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:08,210
it can confuse you when you are new.

22
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:12,760
The easiest way is over here in the gray area to click once.

23
00:01:12,755 --> 00:01:15,095
That'll bring up my image at full size.

24
00:01:15,095 --> 00:01:16,415
If it's coming in too big,

25
00:01:16,415 --> 00:01:19,135
you can go to Edit and go to undo Place,

26
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:20,830
that is going to go back.

27
00:01:20,825 --> 00:01:23,125
What I want to do is click Hold and drag

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,130
in this gray area and doesn't really matter how big it is.

29
00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:26,810
You can see that's the size of my image.

30
00:01:26,810 --> 00:01:28,390
It's coming through really big.

31
00:01:28,385 --> 00:01:31,745
Just click and drag it out to a more appropriate size.

32
00:01:31,745 --> 00:01:34,785
The reason I do that is I'm going to go to Edit undo again,

33
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:38,550
or Control Z on a Mac or Command Z on a PC,

34
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:42,090
so undone, if I click on this green box here, the icon changes.

35
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:44,010
It's a little bit hard to see.

36
00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:48,700
Title zoom in for us so you can see the brackets appear.

37
00:01:48,695 --> 00:01:50,795
What it means is if I click on this.

38
00:01:50,795 --> 00:01:52,345
It's merged them together.

39
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:53,920
My green boxes gone forever,

40
00:01:53,915 --> 00:01:56,165
and you might want that, that's cool, so you can do that.

41
00:01:56,165 --> 00:01:58,765
What I do is I find that's always a pain.

42
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,860
Edit, undo, undo, undo.

43
00:02:00,855 --> 00:02:04,615
I'm going to keep going undo until that's back and remember,

44
00:02:04,615 --> 00:02:07,765
I can just click once out here in the background.

45
00:02:07,765 --> 00:02:10,475
Let's look at some of the things we can do with images.

46
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:13,210
First of all, probably you would want to resize them,

47
00:02:13,205 --> 00:02:14,895
so resizing them seems easy.

48
00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:16,760
You grab the black arrow,

49
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,170
you grab the corner and you drag it up and it does that by default,

50
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:23,630
lovely InDesign, I'm going to Undo.

51
00:02:23,630 --> 00:02:25,610
What we need to do is our first shortcut.

52
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:27,110
We're not going to lead to many in this course,

53
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:29,480
there's going to be a cheat sheet of the info uploads of shortcuts,

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,080
but what we want to do is learn a couple of the more practical ones.

55
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,300
In this case it's resizing an image,

56
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:36,940
and you hold down on a Mac,

57
00:02:36,935 --> 00:02:38,705
it's Command and Shift.

58
00:02:38,705 --> 00:02:41,185
If you're on a PC, it's Control and Shift.

59
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:43,840
Hold those two down the keyboard, you hold on.

60
00:02:43,835 --> 00:02:46,225
Grab this corner now and drag it up,

61
00:02:46,220 --> 00:02:48,930
can you see it resizes.

62
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:54,140
We can resize it that way. To rotate it,

63
00:02:54,135 --> 00:02:56,525
there's a manual rotation of the top here is a little indicator.

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,380
If I need it to be 45 degrees,

65
00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:01,460
I can just type it in and it rotates. I'm going to Undo.

66
00:03:01,460 --> 00:03:05,930
If you want to do it just more casually or you're just playing with a design,

67
00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:08,830
is with the same black arrow hover.

68
00:03:08,825 --> 00:03:11,515
You can see on the edge it does the resizing thing,

69
00:03:11,510 --> 00:03:14,810
but if I hover just a bit further out you can see my icon changes.

70
00:03:14,810 --> 00:03:16,400
It's a little double-headed arrow.

71
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,080
I can click Hold and drag that now,

72
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,930
and you can see that clicking Holding and dragging and it's more of a custom rotation.

73
00:03:22,925 --> 00:03:26,735
I'm going to undo that. Another thing we might do is flip it.

74
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:29,580
Up the top, I've got it selected with my black arrow,

75
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:31,700
and there's this option here that flips horizontally.

76
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:33,920
Sometimes it ends up all the way over here and I'm going to click

77
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,760
and drag it back across. Flipping it vertically.

78
00:03:36,755 --> 00:03:39,085
It does it at the top there as well.

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,140
I'm going to undo, undo,

80
00:03:41,135 --> 00:03:44,605
undo, and we haven't got a flipped image.

81
00:03:44,605 --> 00:03:47,485
The next thing we're gonna look at is something called the content grabber.

82
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,090
It's this little target that appears.

83
00:03:49,085 --> 00:03:52,555
Now when you're trying to just move your image around.

84
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:53,700
So I need to move it down the bottom here.

85
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,530
Avoid this thing completely,

86
00:03:55,525 --> 00:03:58,265
so I'm going to click and drag anywhere but there, and I can move it around.

87
00:03:58,265 --> 00:04:00,235
If I drag this, what happens is,

88
00:04:00,230 --> 00:04:03,870
in InDesign, your image is actually inside a picture frame already,

89
00:04:03,865 --> 00:04:06,665
so they are two separate things and you can move them individually,

90
00:04:06,665 --> 00:04:08,155
which is quite handy sometimes,

91
00:04:08,150 --> 00:04:10,600
but can be a bit annoying when you're learning.

92
00:04:10,595 --> 00:04:13,435
If I click and drag this,

93
00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:15,880
you'll see the frame.

94
00:04:15,875 --> 00:04:20,065
It's still there, but the picture within that frame has slid to the side,

95
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,680
and that can be quite cool when you're trying to crop things.

96
00:04:22,675 --> 00:04:25,265
I can grab it to drag it back,

97
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:26,995
but I'm going to undo a couple of times.

98
00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:30,390
Remember, Edit, Undo, and here's my shortcut.

99
00:04:30,385 --> 00:04:32,845
What you need to do is if you're physically moving it,

100
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,540
click anywhere but the target.

101
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:36,460
But if you want to move it within the frame,

102
00:04:36,455 --> 00:04:39,185
you can drag that little content grabber.

103
00:04:39,185 --> 00:04:41,585
and undo If you really don't like the content grabber,

104
00:04:41,585 --> 00:04:43,805
secret note I don't like it.

105
00:04:43,805 --> 00:04:47,285
I turn this off, I go to View and I go to Extras,

106
00:04:47,285 --> 00:04:50,105
and I go to hide Content Grabber,

107
00:04:50,105 --> 00:04:52,495
There are other ways of cropping stuff.

108
00:04:52,490 --> 00:04:54,710
Up to you You don't have to turn it off.

109
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:56,720
You might love it. Lots of people do.

110
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,690
What we're going to do now is look at some basic cropping because what

111
00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:02,060
I want to do is I would like this thing,

112
00:05:02,060 --> 00:05:04,220
let's click Hold and drag it.

113
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:06,460
So it's at least in the top right.

114
00:05:06,455 --> 00:05:08,795
It's pretty clever. It's snapping to the edges,

115
00:05:08,795 --> 00:05:10,055
if yours is not snapping.

116
00:05:10,055 --> 00:05:11,125
Just double-check View.

117
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,360
There's one in here that's called Smart guides.

118
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:15,965
So Grids and Guides, Smart Guides.

119
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,170
That's the thing that helps it automatically jump to the edge.

120
00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:22,780
You don't have to be like perfect pixel.

121
00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:25,220
On and the top right,

122
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:27,120
I'm going to grab this bottom left.

123
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,230
I'm going to hold down my shortcut to resize it.

124
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:32,730
Who remembers what the shortcut was?

125
00:05:32,725 --> 00:05:37,475
Command Shift on a Mac and Command Shift on a PC, so I'm dragging it out.

126
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:43,180
I want it to be at least or bigger than our background image.

127
00:05:43,175 --> 00:05:44,795
It's snapped up in the corner there.

128
00:05:44,795 --> 00:05:46,695
What I want to do is,

129
00:05:46,690 --> 00:05:49,920
remember if I hold this two shortcut keys down it resizes it,

130
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,420
but if I don't,

131
00:05:51,415 --> 00:05:53,155
remember when I grabbed it before,

132
00:05:53,150 --> 00:05:56,450
crops it and that's going to work in our favor now because what I want to do is grab

133
00:05:56,450 --> 00:06:00,380
this side and maybe roughly in the middle.

134
00:06:00,375 --> 00:06:03,965
I want it to be like this and same with the bottom.

135
00:06:03,965 --> 00:06:06,565
I'm going to drag it up, so it's just on my bleed.

136
00:06:06,565 --> 00:06:08,625
I'm cropping bits of the image off,

137
00:06:08,625 --> 00:06:10,935
but that's the look I'm looking for.

138
00:06:10,935 --> 00:06:14,435
What also I might want to do is mimic content grabber. I hated it.

139
00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:17,500
It's handy now look, I can drag the center of it and you can see,

140
00:06:17,495 --> 00:06:19,355
I can drag it within this box a little bit.

141
00:06:19,355 --> 00:06:20,515
Let's bring in one more thing.

142
00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:21,800
Let's bring in the logo,

143
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,070
exact same technique as the image.

144
00:06:24,065 --> 00:06:28,045
Remember black arrow clicking the background so you got nothing selected, Go to File.

145
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,280
Let's go to Place and pick one of the logos.

146
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,690
I'm going to use this first one logo, one full.

147
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:38,485
It doesn't have to be a JPEG or a PNG can be an Illustrator file,

148
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,290
which is another Adobe product. Let's click open.

149
00:06:41,285 --> 00:06:44,155
Remember in this gray area in the background,

150
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:48,200
click once, or you can click and drag to get the size that you want.

151
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,330
Black arrow grab anywhere,

152
00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:51,830
but the Content Grabber.

153
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:54,960
Remember if I try and move them using that seemed a bit weirdly,

154
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,030
the image is over here,

155
00:06:56,030 --> 00:06:58,040
but the frame is still over here,

156
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,080
so I'm going to undo that.

157
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,380
Click off the background and I'm going to grab anywhere but the Content Grabber.

158
00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:07,720
I'm going to stick it somewhere. That's my lovely logo.

159
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,790
Earlier I said you may be having nothing selected.

160
00:07:10,785 --> 00:07:12,455
I'll show you the reason why is,

161
00:07:12,450 --> 00:07:16,430
if I have this green box selected by accident and I want to bring in my logo,

162
00:07:16,430 --> 00:07:19,010
let's say it's before I brought on this logo.

163
00:07:19,010 --> 00:07:20,510
Actually, I'll delete it to make it.

164
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:22,400
I've got this green box selected.

165
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,720
File and I've forgotten to de-select it,

166
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,600
go to Place and I go to my logo and I click open.

167
00:07:28,595 --> 00:07:31,875
It doesn't give me the option of dragging it out and giving it a size.

168
00:07:31,870 --> 00:07:35,180
It fuses it with this green box,which is cool,

169
00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:37,130
but it's stuck there now.

170
00:07:37,130 --> 00:07:39,300
