Today in class, we covered some of the basics that makes up Adobe InDesign. InDesign is a program specifically made for layouts. NO OTHER PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE LAYOUTS!!! Such layouts can be for magazines, booklets, brochures, menus, business cards, etc. When it comes to printing in Adobe programs, the required printing colors are CMYK and/or spot colors that are best for printing. RGB is associated with web images from the Internet.
Not only did we learned about the required settings, we learned about Master pages and what they are used for, spaces in letters, words, pages, and the definitions of a layout and how it is set up.
Some Definitions are:
- A-Master - Template for all or specific pages in the layout.
- Liguratures - Makes two letters into one object.
- Soft Return - Shift + Enter
- Hard Return - Enter
- Rivers - Spaces that travel down the text.
- Kerning - Spaces between words.
- Leading - Spaces between letters.
- Gutter - Space between pages.
- Spread - Two pages side by side.
