In Creating Adverts with InDesign, designer and trainer Peter Bone shows you how to create the eight adverts that you can see displayed in Customer Images (above this text). In an attempt to mirror a typical design project, the photographs and logos are provided for you to import. As you work through the book, creating increasingly complex documents, the skills and approaches you learn will build upon each other and you'll discover that your use of InDesign becomes increasingly intuitive.
YOU'LL LEARN:
How to create the eight adverts you see here with InDesign, starting from scratch. You'll learn how to create a new InDesign document according to the measurements you've been given for the advert and learn how to use margins and other guides to help you align elements accurately.
How to import and resize logos and photographic images.
How to insert and edit text, and adjust text formats such as leading and tracking to make text look as good as possible.
How to apply colours to frames, sample colours from images and make backgrounds semi-transparent.
There are also some brief notes giving you an overview of InDesign, an understanding of how other programs are used with it, and some essential technical information on vector and bitmap images, resolution, bleeds and creating pdfs.
