WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:11.820 Alright, in this video, we're going to create our newsletter our brochure. 00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:13.185 We're going to work on our margins, 00:00:13.185 --> 00:00:14.820 our columns, the gutters between it. 00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:17.475 We're going to look at things called spreads. It's going to be exciting. 00:00:17.475 --> 00:00:23.235 It's going to do it. Alright, so first thing we're going to do is create a new document. 00:00:23.235 --> 00:00:27.450 Either click this button or you can go to "File" "New Document." 00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:29.915 We're going to start with some of the presets print. 00:00:29.915 --> 00:00:32.165 Now, depending on the part of the world we're going to use 00:00:32.165 --> 00:00:34.220 A4 or "Letter," we use "Letter" in this case. 00:00:34.220 --> 00:00:36.680 You can see mine keeps defaulting back to millimeters. 00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:39.350 It's mainly because in between making videos, 00:00:39.350 --> 00:00:41.870 I have to do work InDesign and I work in millimeters, 00:00:41.870 --> 00:00:43.780 so I keep switching it back anyway. 00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:46.280 So there's my sizes, I'm going to work in 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.910 portrait and we're going to have facing pages turned on this time. 00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:51.680 Number of pages we're going to have eight. 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:53.300 Just consider when you are making, say, 00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:54.920 a newsletter or a brochure, often, 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.050 you have to work in multiples of four. 00:00:57.050 --> 00:00:58.610 You can have two pages, 00:00:58.610 --> 00:01:00.875 front and back of a use letter. 00:01:00.875 --> 00:01:02.495 But often when it gets past that, 00:01:02.495 --> 00:01:06.265 it's actually big sheets of paper folded in half and stapled. 00:01:06.265 --> 00:01:07.680 So you can't have like say, 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.315 six pages because you'll have one big I'm sheet folded in half. 00:01:11.315 --> 00:01:13.160 Then you have this kind of like one sitting in 00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:15.470 the middle and it becomes very hard to bind together. 00:01:15.470 --> 00:01:16.670 There's ways around it, 00:01:16.670 --> 00:01:18.935 but often you work in multiples of eight. 00:01:18.935 --> 00:01:22.130 If you go ever opened up and up the newspaper and pulled one sheet out of it, 00:01:22.130 --> 00:01:25.100 you've dropped it into pieces and you pull out one sheet, 00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:27.555 you'll notice there's actually four sides. 00:01:27.555 --> 00:01:29.825 Think of that when you are doing a newsletter, 00:01:29.825 --> 00:01:31.340 Definitely don't do five because you've got 00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:34.205 a back of a sheet of paper that you have to use. 00:01:34.205 --> 00:01:37.670 Starting number, this might be that you've 00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:41.000 got a really long document and you've got pages, 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.120 and you want to start the page numbering on something different. 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.865 We're going to keep our start to one. 00:01:45.865 --> 00:01:47.385 Very rarely will I change that. 00:01:47.385 --> 00:01:49.785 Probably it takes fine and we'll look at in a later video. 00:01:49.785 --> 00:01:52.775 Columns. We haven't used this before. 00:01:52.775 --> 00:01:54.910 By default, you have to have a minimum of one. 00:01:54.910 --> 00:01:57.275 What we're going to have is three in this case. 00:01:57.275 --> 00:01:59.690 The gutter is the space between these columns. 00:01:59.690 --> 00:02:01.610 Just leave it to whatever the default is. 00:02:01.610 --> 00:02:04.210 Let's have a quick look at why we use columns. 00:02:04.210 --> 00:02:07.850 In here, I've done a little search for magazine spreads. 00:02:07.850 --> 00:02:11.750 What you'll notice is that when people are designing magazines, professionals, 00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:14.840 they will start with a number of columns and consistently use that 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.695 throughout the magazine and it gives a bit of consistency through, 00:02:18.695 --> 00:02:20.990 say, a really long document so that you're not going to 00:02:20.990 --> 00:02:23.254 every page switching out different columns. 00:02:23.254 --> 00:02:26.405 It's one of the things that are really easy to notice when you're looking at 00:02:26.405 --> 00:02:30.605 amateurs do work is that there's no consistency with columns. 00:02:30.605 --> 00:02:32.734 Often, it's two, three, 00:02:32.734 --> 00:02:34.550 four, or five columns. 00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:36.560 Let's have a little look at some of the examples. 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.675 Now you can break these rules, 00:02:38.675 --> 00:02:41.375 but it adds a bit of consistency throughout. 00:02:41.375 --> 00:02:43.700 So let's look at, say this one here, 00:02:43.700 --> 00:02:46.195 it's an easy one, there's three columns. 00:02:46.195 --> 00:02:48.590 That's what we're going to be doing and that is keeping the three columns, 00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:51.155 let's have a look through, say this one here. 00:02:51.155 --> 00:02:52.760 This one's a little bit different. 00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:55.045 They are using three columns, 00:02:55.045 --> 00:02:59.235 but that kind of breaking the rules a tiny bit with a spreading across some of these. 00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:01.170 So there's still a one, 00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:03.390 two, three, and now you are thinking like, 00:03:03.390 --> 00:03:04.760 there's only two columns, but you can see 00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:07.370 this image here is actually spanning two of them. 00:03:07.370 --> 00:03:08.855 They're doing the same thing over, 00:03:08.855 --> 00:03:10.805 so still three columns. 00:03:10.805 --> 00:03:13.000 But this one is spanning two of them. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.395 Let's have a look at some of the ones that, say this one here, 00:03:15.395 --> 00:03:24.635 I'd say is maybe an amateur work because you can see there's no real columns in there. 00:03:24.635 --> 00:03:26.075 This is not even, 00:03:26.075 --> 00:03:30.410 so it should be one and then another one and then this one's spit [inaudible]. 00:03:30.410 --> 00:03:32.000 I don't know, hope you can kind of see it. 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.610 It feels like there's no consistencies here. 00:03:34.610 --> 00:03:37.250 This one here doesn't spin the columns like it should 00:03:37.250 --> 00:03:39.920 and so it's got all the right ingredients for a great magazine, 00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:43.040 but I think columns can really help lift an armatures work. 00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:45.050 This one here, two columns. 00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:46.940 This one here, still isn't there, 00:03:46.940 --> 00:03:48.290 I think in the amateur category, 00:03:48.290 --> 00:03:49.580 it's cool, it's nice, 00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.430 but it's columns I am just unsure about. 00:03:52.430 --> 00:03:55.280 See this one here, it's beautiful but crazy, 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.185 but it's still using four columns. 00:03:57.185 --> 00:03:59.090 So one, two, three, four, 00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:02.530 this big giant number two spans two of them, and that's okay. 00:04:02.530 --> 00:04:03.560 You're allowed to break the rules, 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.220 but only breaking the rules within the rules if you know what I mean. 00:04:07.220 --> 00:04:10.000 Alright, that was a long explanation let's jump back into InDesign. 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.490 We're using three columns, and margins, 00:04:13.490 --> 00:04:15.980 we're going to use something slightly bigger, 00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:18.620 so we're going to do 0.8 inches. 00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:20.660 You'll notice that it changed all of them at 00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.390 the same time because this little linking icon is set. 00:04:23.390 --> 00:04:25.730 I'm going to break that now. So I want to do all of them 00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:28.325 except I want to do the bottom to be a little bigger. 00:04:28.325 --> 00:04:30.455 It's going to be 1.4 inches. 00:04:30.455 --> 00:04:32.675 Now if you're using millimeters, 00:04:32.675 --> 00:04:35.120 I'm using 20 all around except for the bottom, 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.265 which I'm using 35 millimeters. 00:04:37.265 --> 00:04:39.050 Couple of things to note is often 00:04:39.050 --> 00:04:41.690 the bottom will be bigger than the rest of the document, 00:04:41.690 --> 00:04:43.880 it gives you a little bit of wiggle room to the bottom to 00:04:43.880 --> 00:04:46.310 put things like page numbers and document titles. 00:04:46.310 --> 00:04:47.675 It also just gives a nice, 00:04:47.675 --> 00:04:49.330 even if you're not going to put page numbers down there, 00:04:49.330 --> 00:04:51.500 it gives a document a set of grounding. 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:53.955 It gives it a base at the bottom. 00:04:53.955 --> 00:04:56.830 It's just a visual footing. 00:04:56.830 --> 00:04:59.990 Not sure how to explain it, but it's nice with a nice thick bottom of the bottom. 00:04:59.990 --> 00:05:02.090 Well, you'll also notice is there's no left and right, 00:05:02.090 --> 00:05:03.935 there's inside and outside. 00:05:03.935 --> 00:05:05.540 If I turn facing pages off, 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:08.450 can you see it becomes left and right, which we understand, 00:05:08.450 --> 00:05:09.905 but then facing pages on, 00:05:09.905 --> 00:05:12.875 it becomes inside and outside. 00:05:12.875 --> 00:05:15.165 That means if I jump back to my example, 00:05:15.165 --> 00:05:17.395 you can see here it just means, 00:05:17.395 --> 00:05:18.865 look at this example here. 00:05:18.865 --> 00:05:21.200 It's a pretty big example. 00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:24.280 You don't have a left and a right essentially, 00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:28.205 but you have an inside margin and an outside margin. 00:05:28.205 --> 00:05:30.160 What you often can do is you can have 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.610 a slightly bigger inside margin if you've got something called crepe, 00:05:33.610 --> 00:05:35.560 if you've got a really big thick magazine and maybe 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.755 these pages are disappearing into the gap here, they call that crepe. 00:05:38.755 --> 00:05:40.375 You can increase that, 00:05:40.375 --> 00:05:42.190 our magazine is not big enough to worry about that. 00:05:42.190 --> 00:05:43.790 Often as a designer, 00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:45.715 even if your magazine is really big, 00:05:45.715 --> 00:05:48.955 that is often the role of the printer, 00:05:48.955 --> 00:05:53.020 to stop playing around with the crepe and adjusting that for you. 00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:55.420 Talk to them about it if you are worried about 00:05:55.420 --> 00:05:58.400 it and often they'll help you out. Back to InDesign. 00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:04.005 Bleed. We're going to have our 0.125, okay. 00:06:04.005 --> 00:06:08.425 Unless you're in millimeters and then it's three mill and slug, we never use. 00:06:08.425 --> 00:06:10.345 We're going to click "Create." 00:06:10.345 --> 00:06:12.340 Let's jump to our pages panel. 00:06:12.340 --> 00:06:14.290 If you can't see it, it's got a window pages 00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:16.300 and just have a quick little look at what we've done. 00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:18.825 We've got eight pages, 00:06:18.825 --> 00:06:22.545 so page one here, and that's our cover and then it moves to spreads. 00:06:22.545 --> 00:06:24.805 I double-click page two and you can see here, 00:06:24.805 --> 00:06:26.290 I'm going to zoom out, come on minus, 00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:27.850 I am going to control minus on a PC, 00:06:27.850 --> 00:06:30.520 you can see they've put pages two and three together. 00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:32.380 You can't have them separate and that's fine, 00:06:32.380 --> 00:06:34.330 but obviously when you wicking on a magazine, 00:06:34.330 --> 00:06:35.650 it's handy to see them to get that. 00:06:35.650 --> 00:06:37.460 That's why we look at this word, spreads. 00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:38.910 We want to see you them together. 00:06:38.910 --> 00:06:41.610 Great work, let's go and save it, "File" "Save." 00:06:41.610 --> 00:06:44.340 Let's put it into our Desktop. 00:06:44.340 --> 00:06:46.125 We've got out InDesign class files, 00:06:46.125 --> 00:06:47.580 and let's call this one, 00:06:47.580 --> 00:06:54.105 GaH and this one's going to be our newsletter, V1 now final. 00:06:54.105 --> 00:06:56.160 Alright, let's get into the next video. 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.590 Let's look at something called master pages.
