00:00:06.710 --> 00:00:08.940
Hi there. In this video,

00:00:08.940 --> 00:00:10.875
we're going to look at our opacity.

00:00:10.875 --> 00:00:13.350
We've put this in the background as a watermark,

00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:15.765
we'll show you how to put on every page like a watermark.

00:00:15.765 --> 00:00:18.510
But what you came here for, is this guy?

00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:20.729
So this is like transparency,

00:00:20.729 --> 00:00:22.965
but it does a nice reflect with a background,

00:00:22.965 --> 00:00:25.830
a rich rather than a washed out thing that

00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:28.700
happens normally when you just play with the opacity.

00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:32.235
It's something called blending modes. Let's go and do that now.

00:00:32.235 --> 00:00:36.165
So the easy one is I'm going to make sure all my main copy layer,

00:00:36.165 --> 00:00:37.920
and I'm going to go to file place.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.770
I'm just going to do a nice washed out watermark.

00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:43.965
I'm going to grab the green logo 4.

00:00:43.965 --> 00:00:47.100
I'm going to click and drag a nice big version of it.

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.820
I'm going to put it down here like this.

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.410
I'm going to lower the opacity.

00:00:52.410 --> 00:00:53.930
We've done this in an earlier tutorial,

00:00:53.930 --> 00:00:56.005
so we're not going to spend too long on it.

00:00:56.005 --> 00:00:58.425
Nice watermark thing.

00:00:58.425 --> 00:00:59.810
Now if you want it on every page,

00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:02.840
say it's a washed out than image and back on every page,

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.000
just make sure it's on your pages panel and it's on

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.860
your A-master as a double-click A-master and put it on these two pages,

00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:11.735
and it will appear in the background of all the other pages.

00:01:11.735 --> 00:01:15.440
I'm not going to do mine now because mine is white, you're not going to see it.

00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.575
The one thing with transparency is if you are working with it,

00:01:18.575 --> 00:01:20.450
is to make sure you get a proof mode.

00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:22.490
Because the opacity what looks on your screen,

00:01:22.490 --> 00:01:25.445
I bet you if I open this actual in design document,

00:01:25.445 --> 00:01:27.635
open on lots of different laptops.

00:01:27.635 --> 00:01:30.155
You will see that they all look different.

00:01:30.155 --> 00:01:31.580
You might be thinking, "Yeah,

00:01:31.580 --> 00:01:34.175
that's just the perfect amount of opacity."

00:01:34.175 --> 00:01:35.630
But when you send that off to your printer,

00:01:35.630 --> 00:01:38.750
it comes back and it's either way too bright,

00:01:38.750 --> 00:01:40.100
or way too dull.

00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:42.560
I've done it before to send off to business cards,

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.655
came back and you couldn't even tell I had a watermark.

00:01:45.655 --> 00:01:47.300
Which was not a big problem,

00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:50.960
but I've had it the other way when proofs have come back and the watermark is really,

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:53.840
really strong, it just overpowers the white text as well.

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.305
Get a proof done from your printers to say I want you to print the front cover

00:01:57.305 --> 00:02:00.950
only send me a proof often they'll cost you.

00:02:00.950 --> 00:02:04.820
They normally call that a Wet Proof or if you just print again in your office easy-peasy,

00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:06.200
print it off and check.

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.950
Let's look at the more advanced transparency where we start looking at Lyon modes.

00:02:09.950 --> 00:02:12.425
First up, let's grab an image for this page to.

00:02:12.425 --> 00:02:15.100
Double click page 2, file place.

00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:21.395
It's called image 1, click open and I'm going to click and drag it out a certain size.

00:02:21.395 --> 00:02:25.920
I'm zooming out, holding there my command and shift and

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:30.600
dragging it so it is roughly bigger than my page.

00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:33.090
I'm going to go now and resize and reposing.

00:02:33.090 --> 00:02:35.505
Hit W's to get on my guides back,

00:02:35.505 --> 00:02:39.975
tuck it all in into there,

00:02:39.975 --> 00:02:43.390
and line it all out with my bleed.

00:02:43.430 --> 00:02:48.540
You can use your content, grab up or double-click it and move it across.

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:56.795
Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab the rectangle tool and I'm going to draw

00:02:56.795 --> 00:03:01.745
a rectangle that fits this space is where I'll put is going to go,

00:03:01.745 --> 00:03:06.280
I'm going to give it a fill of my green it hot red,

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.580
go back to my selection tool,

00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:10.325
and this is where it's going to get interesting.

00:03:10.325 --> 00:03:12.790
I wanted to do some stuff because opacity is going to work.

00:03:12.790 --> 00:03:16.535
If I lower it down, but it ends up looking quite washed out,

00:03:16.535 --> 00:03:20.435
and that's not the effect I want or that we saw at the beginning of this video.

00:03:20.435 --> 00:03:23.360
So what we do is turn the opacity back up to 100.

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.830
What we're going to do is play around with object.

00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:27.650
We're going to look at a fix and we're going to

00:03:27.650 --> 00:03:29.690
play around with this one called transparency.

00:03:29.690 --> 00:03:32.185
So it's slightly different from opacity,

00:03:32.185 --> 00:03:35.180
very similar effect if you just leave it on normal,

00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:37.355
I lower it down, it looks the same as opacity,

00:03:37.355 --> 00:03:40.795
but what I'm going to do is start playing around with these things called LAB modes.

00:03:40.795 --> 00:03:45.395
You can see instantly the first one multiplies a whole lot better.

00:03:45.395 --> 00:03:47.989
Screen in you can just work your way through.

00:03:47.989 --> 00:03:50.960
Don't worry too much about there's not a perfect one every time.

00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.225
It'll depend on the color that you have,

00:03:53.225 --> 00:03:54.590
the top and now case read,

00:03:54.590 --> 00:03:58.370
if yours is blue, it will look different with these little settings.

00:03:58.370 --> 00:04:00.060
So just work through your image.

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:01.335
How to fix your walls,

00:04:01.335 --> 00:04:03.410
and have a little look through color bins is the one

00:04:03.410 --> 00:04:05.645
I want to go through them all, find the one you like.

00:04:05.645 --> 00:04:08.090
You can lower down the opacity afterwards.

00:04:08.090 --> 00:04:10.475
So you like color bin but just maybe not as strong,

00:04:10.475 --> 00:04:12.170
and that's how we do some more like

00:04:12.170 --> 00:04:16.640
interesting transparency when you add this thing called Blending Modes.

00:04:16.640 --> 00:04:19.825
Let's click, Okay, and that'll be it for this video.

00:04:19.825 --> 00:04:25.260
I'll see you in the next one where we start looking at rounding these corners. Let's see
