Objective
Gain an understanding of how multiple-page documents are created and maintained in InDesign. Create good file structure and proper use of InDesign tools & workflow, plus some creative image work & typographic skills used in InDesign to produce a 12-page magazine.
Process
We sketched out our ideas on paper and then refined our sketches in the thumbnail stage to create the best possible layout before setting our digital document for the 6-spread 12-page magazine. We used InDesign, following specific requirements for the document format that’s best for print, to layout our graphics and typography. Using Adobe Illustrator, we were able to make great vector files for our logos that are scalable without losing any details when we brought those into any software, especially InDesign. Using Photoshop, we were able to comply with the specifications & requirements of the document setting for the bitmap images such as JPEGs & PNGs, converting them to PSD files. We organized our workflow at the very beginning and checked again when exporting the final PDF files for the project before handing in our work.
