WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: InDesign and the yearbook!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adobe InDesign is the industry-leading layout and page design software for print and digital media. This desktop publishing software is popular among designers, artists, editors, and illustrators because it allows you to design, preflight, and publish a vast range of content for print, web, and mobile apps. We’re talking flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers, books, and YEARBOOKS!
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will perform a series of lessons and we will create our yearbook!!

With the document set up, we can start adding content.
With the document set up, we can start adding content.
For practice, the first thing we will add is a frame around the design to give it a different look.
But the margin guides need to be moved to give us more room
Choose Layout > Margins And Columns.
In the dialog box that opens, ensure that the link option is set in the Margins section
Adjust the margin guides to 0.4375 in.
Click OK.
Now lets add a frame (we won't always do this, this is practice!)
Select the Rectangle Tool from the tool bar on the left
With the Rectangle tool selected, click and pull to draw a frame within the margin guides (shown in blue left)
It should "snap" to the pink and purple margin guides.
Click from the top left corner and pull down to the bottom right corner and let go!
To change the color of a stroke, click on the box to the left of stroke and choose a color. Shown: Black
With the rectangle still selected, change the STROKE to 6pt in the PROPERTIES PANEL (on the RIGHT)
TIP: Shapes and items that are selected will have "dots" or handles showing!
With the frame selected, press ctrl + L to lock it in place!
Column and Guides
Column and Guides
to add content like text!
To make it easier to add design content to the layout, set up margin and column guides to frame where the content will go.
Choose Layout > Margins And Columns again.
Adjust the number of columns to make multiple columns.
In the dialog box,
change the number of columns to 5
and the Gutter (the space between the columns) to 0.1875 in
Now the first column for this design needs to start the same distance from the black line as the distance of the margin (0.4375 in)
So let's let InDesign do the math!
Deselect the link icon (Make all setting the same) so we can set the outside margins separately.
Make sure the Link Icon is not selected!
Notice the columns adjusted left and right but NOT top to bottom!
In the Outside dimension box, insert your cursor after the number (click after the number 5 in the box)
Type *2
Click OK
To add some horizontal guides, to make it easier to divide the layout...
Choose LAYOUT> CREATE GUIDES
Change the number of ROWS to 3
and the Gutter to 0 for individual guides
Click OK
Tip: click PREVIEW before clicking OK to see where things are placed!
Add Placeholder content

Then click inside the text frame to the right to allow the text to flow from the first frame to the second frame!
The boxes are now a thread!

TEXT FRAME OPTIONS
We need 4 columns to match the column guides
Change the Number to 4
and the gutter to 0.1875 to match the column guides
