InDesign CS Tutorials |
 How to set up a document, using Margins, Columns and Ruler Guides, the Paste Into command, Compound Paths, Ghosting an image and Drop Shadows. |
 In this tutorial, Jeff Witchel discusses how it’s possible to cut a window right through your page to a beautiful picture below using Layers, Custom Grids, soft Drop Shadows and the Pathfinder palette. |
 One of the most important things about any layout program is how it handles the interaction of text and graphics. |
 Over the past year or so, I’ve talked to dozens of photographers (who were already using Photoshop) who had bought the Creative Suite so they could design their own marketing materials and mailing pieces to promote their photography business. |
 One of my fi rst InDesign CS tutorials was on how to use nested styles. Of course, as time goes by, one tends to learn more about a particular feature, including tips and tricks and new ways to use the feature to improve production. |
Putting type on a path is not a new concept. However, Adobe InDesign CS adds
a new twist to it. Not only can you put type on a path, but you can also link
from path to path to have one continuous text flow. In this tutorial we’ll
use this technique to replicate Apple’s new AirPort Express ad. |
Using
hierarchical master pages makes creating catalogs and magazines a
breeze. While
it’s easy (and fun) to write about InDesign’s whiz-bang features, there’s still production work that needs to get done. So while master pages may not seem like a glamorous topic, it’s one of those things that just about every publication uses. |
Everybody’s doing it (or wants to). So what are you waiting
for? The water’s fine—c’mon in. Although InDesign
is the only page-layout app to support transparency to date, transparency
is not a new concept. You’ve been working with transparency
since Photoshop 3. The only difference is that when it came to print,
you flattened that transparency BEFORE bringing it into your page-layout
app. |
