WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:08.420 --> 00:00:13.425 We're going to look at bringing in images and logos and rotating them. 00:00:13.425 --> 00:00:15.300 We'll look at this one where we've cropped it. 00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.130 You can see, look at this sneaky. 00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:18.600 This one's actually a little bit bigger. 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.290 Okay. Corrupted into a nice little box will flip them. 00:00:21.290 --> 00:00:23.600 We'll do all stuff with images. 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.960 All right, let's go and do that now. 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:27.875 To bring in an image, 00:00:27.875 --> 00:00:31.310 icon or any visual graphic, it's the same. 00:00:31.310 --> 00:00:32.675 First thing we need to do though, 00:00:32.675 --> 00:00:34.495 is we need to get in the habit of, 00:00:34.495 --> 00:00:36.330 if I have my black arrow selected, 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. 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. 00:00:46.550 --> 00:00:50.690 We've got nothing selected then we're going to go to File Place. 00:00:50.690 --> 00:00:52.925 Remember that's important for InDesign. 00:00:52.925 --> 00:00:58.645 Pick the 01 flier folder and this one called lunch. 00:00:58.645 --> 00:01:01.510 Now your cursor is loaded with 00:01:01.510 --> 00:01:04.235 this little image and you've got two ways of putting it in there. 00:01:04.235 --> 00:01:06.770 Now when you bringing in images into InDesign, 00:01:06.770 --> 00:01:08.210 it can confuse you when you are new. 00:01:08.210 --> 00:01:12.755 The easiest way is over here in the gray area to click once. 00:01:12.755 --> 00:01:15.095 That'll bring up my image at full size. 00:01:15.095 --> 00:01:16.415 If it's coming in too big, 00:01:16.415 --> 00:01:19.130 you can go to Edit and go to undo Place, 00:01:19.130 --> 00:01:20.825 that is going to go back. 00:01:20.825 --> 00:01:23.120 What I want to do is click Hold and drag 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.130 in this gray area and doesn't really matter how big it is. 00:01:25.130 --> 00:01:26.810 You can see that's the size of my image. 00:01:26.810 --> 00:01:28.385 It's coming through really big. 00:01:28.385 --> 00:01:31.745 Just click and drag it out to a more appropriate size. 00:01:31.745 --> 00:01:34.780 The reason I do that is I'm going to go to Edit undo again, 00:01:34.780 --> 00:01:38.550 or Control Z on a Mac or Command Z on a PC, 00:01:38.550 --> 00:01:42.090 so undone, if I click on this green box here, the icon changes. 00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:44.010 It's a little bit hard to see. 00:01:44.010 --> 00:01:48.695 Title zoom in for us so you can see the brackets appear. 00:01:48.695 --> 00:01:50.795 What it means is if I click on this. 00:01:50.795 --> 00:01:52.340 It's merged them together. 00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:53.915 My green boxes gone forever, 00:01:53.915 --> 00:01:56.165 and you might want that, that's cool, so you can do that. 00:01:56.165 --> 00:01:58.760 What I do is I find that's always a pain. 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.855 Edit, undo, undo, undo. 00:02:00.855 --> 00:02:04.615 I'm going to keep going undo until that's back and remember, 00:02:04.615 --> 00:02:07.765 I can just click once out here in the background. 00:02:07.765 --> 00:02:10.470 Let's look at some of the things we can do with images. 00:02:10.470 --> 00:02:13.205 First of all, probably you would want to resize them, 00:02:13.205 --> 00:02:14.890 so resizing them seems easy. 00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:16.760 You grab the black arrow, 00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:21.170 you grab the corner and you drag it up and it does that by default, 00:02:21.170 --> 00:02:23.630 lovely InDesign, I'm going to Undo. 00:02:23.630 --> 00:02:25.610 What we need to do is our first shortcut. 00:02:25.610 --> 00:02:27.110 We're not going to lead to many in this course, 00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:29.480 there's going to be a cheat sheet of the info uploads of shortcuts, 00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:33.080 but what we want to do is learn a couple of the more practical ones. 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.300 In this case it's resizing an image, 00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:36.935 and you hold down on a Mac, 00:02:36.935 --> 00:02:38.705 it's Command and Shift. 00:02:38.705 --> 00:02:41.180 If you're on a PC, it's Control and Shift. 00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:43.835 Hold those two down the keyboard, you hold on. 00:02:43.835 --> 00:02:46.220 Grab this corner now and drag it up, 00:02:46.220 --> 00:02:48.930 can you see it resizes. 00:02:50.900 --> 00:02:54.135 We can resize it that way. To rotate it, 00:02:54.135 --> 00:02:56.520 there's a manual rotation of the top here is a little indicator. 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.380 If I need it to be 45 degrees, 00:02:58.380 --> 00:03:01.460 I can just type it in and it rotates. I'm going to Undo. 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, 00:03:05.930 --> 00:03:08.825 is with the same black arrow hover. 00:03:08.825 --> 00:03:11.510 You can see on the edge it does the resizing thing, 00:03:11.510 --> 00:03:14.810 but if I hover just a bit further out you can see my icon changes. 00:03:14.810 --> 00:03:16.400 It's a little double-headed arrow. 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.080 I can click Hold and drag that now, 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.925 and you can see that clicking Holding and dragging and it's more of a custom rotation. 00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:26.730 I'm going to undo that. Another thing we might do is flip it. 00:03:26.730 --> 00:03:29.580 Up the top, I've got it selected with my black arrow, 00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:31.700 and there's this option here that flips horizontally. 00:03:31.700 --> 00:03:33.920 Sometimes it ends up all the way over here and I'm going to click 00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:36.755 and drag it back across. Flipping it vertically. 00:03:36.755 --> 00:03:39.080 It does it at the top there as well. 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.135 I'm going to undo, undo, 00:03:41.135 --> 00:03:44.605 undo, and we haven't got a flipped image. 00:03:44.605 --> 00:03:47.480 The next thing we're gonna look at is something called the content grabber. 00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:49.085 It's this little target that appears. 00:03:49.085 --> 00:03:52.550 Now when you're trying to just move your image around. 00:03:52.550 --> 00:03:53.700 So I need to move it down the bottom here. 00:03:53.700 --> 00:03:55.525 Avoid this thing completely, 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. 00:03:58.265 --> 00:04:00.230 If I drag this, what happens is, 00:04:00.230 --> 00:04:03.865 in InDesign, your image is actually inside a picture frame already, 00:04:03.865 --> 00:04:06.665 so they are two separate things and you can move them individually, 00:04:06.665 --> 00:04:08.150 which is quite handy sometimes, 00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:10.595 but can be a bit annoying when you're learning. 00:04:10.595 --> 00:04:13.430 If I click and drag this, 00:04:13.430 --> 00:04:15.875 you'll see the frame. 00:04:15.875 --> 00:04:20.060 It's still there, but the picture within that frame has slid to the side, 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:22.675 and that can be quite cool when you're trying to crop things. 00:04:22.675 --> 00:04:25.265 I can grab it to drag it back, 00:04:25.265 --> 00:04:26.990 but I'm going to undo a couple of times. 00:04:26.990 --> 00:04:30.385 Remember, Edit, Undo, and here's my shortcut. 00:04:30.385 --> 00:04:32.840 What you need to do is if you're physically moving it, 00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:34.540 click anywhere but the target. 00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:36.455 But if you want to move it within the frame, 00:04:36.455 --> 00:04:39.185 you can drag that little content grabber. 00:04:39.185 --> 00:04:41.585 and undo If you really don't like the content grabber, 00:04:41.585 --> 00:04:43.805 secret note I don't like it. 00:04:43.805 --> 00:04:47.285 I turn this off, I go to View and I go to Extras, 00:04:47.285 --> 00:04:50.105 and I go to hide Content Grabber, 00:04:50.105 --> 00:04:52.490 There are other ways of cropping stuff. 00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:54.710 Up to you You don't have to turn it off. 00:04:54.710 --> 00:04:56.720 You might love it. Lots of people do. 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.690 What we're going to do now is look at some basic cropping because what 00:04:59.690 --> 00:05:02.060 I want to do is I would like this thing, 00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:04.220 let's click Hold and drag it. 00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:06.455 So it's at least in the top right. 00:05:06.455 --> 00:05:08.795 It's pretty clever. It's snapping to the edges, 00:05:08.795 --> 00:05:10.055 if yours is not snapping. 00:05:10.055 --> 00:05:11.120 Just double-check View. 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.355 There's one in here that's called Smart guides. 00:05:14.355 --> 00:05:15.960 So Grids and Guides, Smart Guides. 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:19.170 That's the thing that helps it automatically jump to the edge. 00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:22.780 You don't have to be like perfect pixel. 00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:25.220 On and the top right, 00:05:25.220 --> 00:05:27.120 I'm going to grab this bottom left. 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.230 I'm going to hold down my shortcut to resize it. 00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:32.725 Who remembers what the shortcut was? 00:05:32.725 --> 00:05:37.470 Command Shift on a Mac and Command Shift on a PC, so I'm dragging it out. 00:05:37.470 --> 00:05:43.175 I want it to be at least or bigger than our background image. 00:05:43.175 --> 00:05:44.795 It's snapped up in the corner there. 00:05:44.795 --> 00:05:46.690 What I want to do is, 00:05:46.690 --> 00:05:49.920 remember if I hold this two shortcut keys down it resizes it, 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.415 but if I don't, 00:05:51.415 --> 00:05:53.150 remember when I grabbed it before, 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 00:05:56.450 --> 00:06:00.375 this side and maybe roughly in the middle. 00:06:00.375 --> 00:06:03.965 I want it to be like this and same with the bottom. 00:06:03.965 --> 00:06:06.565 I'm going to drag it up, so it's just on my bleed. 00:06:06.565 --> 00:06:08.625 I'm cropping bits of the image off, 00:06:08.625 --> 00:06:10.935 but that's the look I'm looking for. 00:06:10.935 --> 00:06:14.430 What also I might want to do is mimic content grabber. I hated it. 00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:17.495 It's handy now look, I can drag the center of it and you can see, 00:06:17.495 --> 00:06:19.355 I can drag it within this box a little bit. 00:06:19.355 --> 00:06:20.510 Let's bring in one more thing. 00:06:20.510 --> 00:06:21.800 Let's bring in the logo, 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.065 exact same technique as the image. 00:06:24.065 --> 00:06:28.040 Remember black arrow clicking the background so you got nothing selected, Go to File. 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.280 Let's go to Place and pick one of the logos. 00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:34.685 I'm going to use this first one logo, one full. 00:06:34.685 --> 00:06:38.480 It doesn't have to be a JPEG or a PNG can be an Illustrator file, 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.285 which is another Adobe product. Let's click open. 00:06:41.285 --> 00:06:44.150 Remember in this gray area in the background, 00:06:44.150 --> 00:06:48.200 click once, or you can click and drag to get the size that you want. 00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:50.330 Black arrow grab anywhere, 00:06:50.330 --> 00:06:51.830 but the Content Grabber. 00:06:51.830 --> 00:06:54.960 Remember if I try and move them using that seemed a bit weirdly, 00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:56.030 the image is over here, 00:06:56.030 --> 00:06:58.040 but the frame is still over here, 00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.080 so I'm going to undo that. 00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:03.380 Click off the background and I'm going to grab anywhere but the Content Grabber. 00:07:03.380 --> 00:07:07.720 I'm going to stick it somewhere. That's my lovely logo. 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.785 Earlier I said you may be having nothing selected. 00:07:10.785 --> 00:07:12.450 I'll show you the reason why is, 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, 00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:19.010 let's say it's before I brought on this logo. 00:07:19.010 --> 00:07:20.510 Actually, I'll delete it to make it. 00:07:20.510 --> 00:07:22.400 I've got this green box selected. 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:24.720 File and I've forgotten to de-select it, 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.595 go to Place and I go to my logo and I click open. 00:07:28.595 --> 00:07:31.870 It doesn't give me the option of dragging it out and giving it a size. 00:07:31.870 --> 00:07:35.180 It fuses it with this green box,which is cool, 00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:37.130 but it's stuck there now. 00:07:37.130 --> 00:07:39.295 They are one and the same. 00:07:39.295 --> 00:07:42.755 I'm going to undo until life was easier. 00:07:42.755 --> 00:07:44.270 Remember, before you bring it in, 00:07:44.270 --> 00:07:47.515 de-select in the background and then go to File Place. 00:07:47.515 --> 00:07:49.890 All right friends that is working with images. 00:07:49.890 --> 00:07:53.740 Let's go on and start working with type in InDesign.
