00:00:07.100 --> 00:00:10.920
In this video, we're going to look at adding our spread.

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:16.605
We've done in InDesign to this 3D mockup that we can use in our portfolio.

00:00:16.605 --> 00:00:18.780
Let's go and do that now.

00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.170
There's two things you need to do before we're going to make this happen.

00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:24.780
You need to sign up free for Mediamodifier.

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:26.820
There's a few other competitors to it as well,

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.050
so go and check them out.

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:32.535
These guys will charge you five bucks to release the watermark of your image,

00:00:32.535 --> 00:00:34.275
seems like a right deal to me.

00:00:34.275 --> 00:00:35.610
But yeah, check out the other ones,

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:38.565
I've only ever use this one so let's go and look at it.

00:00:38.565 --> 00:00:41.175
Let's have a look at all templates there is.

00:00:41.175 --> 00:00:43.110
You can add your stuff to all stuff,

00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:46.010
and it does the 3D rendering for you,

00:00:46.010 --> 00:00:49.595
which is really handy if you don't have any skills in Photoshop.

00:00:49.595 --> 00:00:53.370
I tend to do all mine in Photoshop because I know how to use it,

00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:54.710
and if you want to do it with me,

00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:58.145
we'll do it in the advanced version of this InDesign course.

00:00:58.145 --> 00:01:00.800
Let's say I would just want to do it quick and easy way.

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:02.630
I want to give you an easy way that you don't have to

00:01:02.630 --> 00:01:04.645
go off and have the matrix to do it.

00:01:04.645 --> 00:01:06.675
I just typed in magazine.

00:01:06.675 --> 00:01:09.230
You can pick one of these spreads here now.

00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:12.020
This one here is the A sizes, so A4,

00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:14.120
and this one here's more the US letter sizes,

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.470
so use one or the other,

00:01:15.470 --> 00:01:17.315
otherwise it doesn't really fit well.

00:01:17.315 --> 00:01:19.265
Over on this right hand side here,

00:01:19.265 --> 00:01:21.380
I'm going to click on this one,

00:01:21.380 --> 00:01:24.725
and we need to export our left page.

00:01:24.725 --> 00:01:26.315
You can see here, and our right page.

00:01:26.315 --> 00:01:28.295
Let's going to do that from InDesign.

00:01:28.295 --> 00:01:31.160
Pick your best spread. I'm going to use this one here.

00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:33.040
I'm going to go to file export.

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.365
We did this earlier on in the tutorials where we exported the format.

00:01:36.365 --> 00:01:38.830
Make sure it's a JPEG. Where are we going to put it?

00:01:38.830 --> 00:01:42.710
I'm going to put it in my InDesign exercise or class files that are on the desktop.

00:01:42.710 --> 00:01:47.215
I'm going to call this one right page, very exciting.

00:01:47.215 --> 00:01:51.540
Actually this is the left page would be first, click Save.

00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:53.805
Then here is the range, can you see?

00:01:53.805 --> 00:01:55.190
This is D and one,

00:01:55.190 --> 00:01:57.800
we did this in an earlier exercise where we looked at

00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:01.085
renaming the page numbering, remember ABCD.

00:02:01.085 --> 00:02:03.620
This is one of those times where, it's not a hassle,

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:06.245
we just got to remember that I want D first.

00:02:06.245 --> 00:02:08.450
I want just this page. You can't do spreads,

00:02:08.450 --> 00:02:10.575
and this one here doesn't really work.

00:02:10.575 --> 00:02:12.780
Here's our resolution, 300,

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:16.110
150, 150 is fine for this occasion.

00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:18.645
Let's hit Export. I've got that side,

00:02:18.645 --> 00:02:19.935
and hit export again.

00:02:19.935 --> 00:02:22.840
I'm going to do the right page,

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:27.305
and I'm going to do range one,

00:02:27.305 --> 00:02:29.080
leave it all, click Export.

00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.015
Now I've got two JPEGs hopefully on my desktop,

00:02:32.015 --> 00:02:37.875
on the class files and this left and right pages.

00:02:37.875 --> 00:02:41.370
Cool. Now back into Mediamodifier,

00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:43.560
choose the file for the left page,

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.860
Desktop, class exercise files,

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:52.440
left page, crop slightly off.

00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:54.585
It's not perfectly the right size.

00:02:54.585 --> 00:03:01.080
Let's click the right page and you crop the same thing.

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.100
I'll put probably a little bit more in the middle and looks okay,

00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:08.745
and generic preview' this takes forever,

00:03:08.745 --> 00:03:10.930
but that's okay. It's doing the work for us.

00:03:10.930 --> 00:03:11.980
We kick back, relax,

00:03:11.980 --> 00:03:14.570
and speed it up, please Taylor.

00:03:15.050 --> 00:03:19.180
You can see it's bended round to float with it.

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:20.740
It's added some shadows,

00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:22.810
a bit of a highlight on it,

00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:25.890
and you can obviously download this option.

00:03:25.890 --> 00:03:27.125
It has a watermark in it,

00:03:27.125 --> 00:03:29.900
but you can download a version,

00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:32.885
pay $5 and get one that doesn't have it.

00:03:32.885 --> 00:03:36.140
Although displaying them as a flat JPEG is cool,

00:03:36.140 --> 00:03:40.715
a reckon portfolios do well when they look like they're actually done.

00:03:40.715 --> 00:03:43.730
Adds a little bit of professionalism to your displays.

00:03:43.730 --> 00:03:46.520
You might actually have a couple of different spreads and use a couple of

00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.680
different views from the same magazine for your portfolio.

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.890
That's how to use something quick,

00:03:52.890 --> 00:03:55.080
easy and not quite free.

00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.535
The other option is to use Photoshop.

00:03:58.535 --> 00:04:01.460
There are some cool stuff using the Adobe market and that's a bit of

00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:05.095
a long process that we'll do in the advanced part of this course.

00:04:05.095 --> 00:04:07.900
I'll see you in the next video.
