Mac Induction 3

InDesign Recap

• We have been talked through in design again. Starting with how to open a document. We were then told about bleed and how the bleed is used to allow for mistakes.
• We were shown how to increase the type via keyboard shortcuts. 
• We have been talked through the colour pallet again
• We then moved onto 'placing' an illustrator file into the program
• This proved easy and again we have been shown all this before.
• We were told the reason that the vector looked pixilated was due to the advantage of speeding the program up.
• Shown a shortcut for opening illustrator up whilst in another program
• Told the difference between PSD files and TIFF files.
• Introduced to editing monotone images in InDesign and being able to change the printed colour

How to check if everything will be printed off as we want it too.

When we send an item off to be printed, selected printed and receive a composite print.

Yet when sending to commercial print its a bit different. 

• Select output
• Always a Composite 
• Commercial printing separates the document into each of the items colours.
• If using spot colour you need t make sure it doesn't print with CMYK.
