hello everyone I am glad noise and this is an artist's crash course
on booklet printing in InDesign if you want to use your home printer to create
your own ass cam Burke Artist's Crash Course: Booklet Printing in InDesign !!! many comic sketchbook or whatever the pages need to be ordered so that when
you fall in step with together everything will be in the right
order if in the past year ended up having to use Photoshop Illustrator
to organize all this by hand and you already own design
I'm sorry but you wasted a lot of time doing that
don't feel bad because after watching this you'll know that in design does all
this for you automatically and it is super easy to set up
custom printing services so let's get started the first thing we're going to do is create a new
document
to go to File new document now because our booklet
is going to be made Adam letter sized sheets a paper for than half
our paper size is going to be wider size
half and facing pages wanna make sure that's on that means we're gonna have
spreads for the number of pages now I'm gonna make a sixteen
because each whether size sheet of paper is going to yield
four pages cuz we're doing from back bringing I'm
so columns margins we can just leave that alone since we're not messing
around type that much
because thats a big topic so for the Anderson time the only thing I'm gonna
show you is how to do
automatic page numbering and the way you do this is with
be masters last year we have
are masters we got master of none min master a
and then you see that by default all of our pages are using master a
missing out more hey I can write their some in a double click on this
and a minister adding text box
reposition man
and a min a double click on a second half the text box and I'm going to add a
special character
markers current page number represented by a little a right there I'm gonna make
that big so you can see it
gonna hold on alt click and drag to keep
object right just by okay
so masters are like backgrounds so this is going to appear on every single one
of these pages
something go back we got page number one page number two page
hey check
that out
here we have our own merit page numbering done for us
and that is awesome the first page were
our cover we probably don't want to have a page in Rome mayor slime is quick and
drag this to a site to first page
am Mustapha bottom so those are going to use a master node is gonna be
blank alright next
we're going to and are artwork use to Izturis
the born ways to go to File man got a place the cool way to do it
is just pull up a folder mentors dragon driver images on here
yeah right now it's on your way to starter sketchbook
Magnus drag drop this one here
miss them characters and had stories and
you know what I'm gonna make this go faster minutes like the remaining ones
drag and drop them and in design a smart it knows that we want to
men here we have our will southern here which means we got some
7 images to had in all thumbnail so no wonder adding
Smith click it adds it six more left quick
added okay these are prone to put out the bottom a sketchbook
quick quick oh man quick quick
so easy quick are in our don
arm so in InDesign all you're doing is just
your messing with type: and you are adding images that you've made in your
Photoshop InDesign you can actually make art in InDesign
I suppose you can add like wide in boxes but mad about it
okay so moving
and transforming the artwork I'm
use a black or a tool and if you're new pride is gonna quicken drag these boxes
here
and then you're gonna be all like who why is it just cropping the image that's
not cool
well reason why is because you're moving be cropped boxy not actually moving the
artwork
to move the artwork come a direct select warm
sure confirm that is a little wider tool there and now when you click on it we
got a brown box that's letting us know that we're
moving the actual image itself now
you're probably thinking your easier way to do that there here's
is the black girl tulle hold our control
then click and drag and there we go it is now
moving both the same time okay %um control
quick and I'm gonna hold down SHIFT simple tenuously so I can
I'm walk the aspect ratio merry go
through the same thing with this Megan right here hold control control click
and drag
that back click and drag cuz you know is that these
are constrained to just one spread I can't wait
you know but your
parrot so got their honor
am also known as the transparency does in fact work
so you prime I think about them when you start preparing your sketches for your
sketchbook is my wanna
am at a transparent will cut out around it so you don't have white boxes around
everything
okay skills down
okay so I think this is just about ready
and and I'm gonna show you how to
enter your artwork from InDesign if you go to your links panel over here
you click on a piece of artwork you can see that it slacks it over here as well
so let's say miss like the this one
and i wanna edit click on the small and original
button down here it will load up Photoshop bring up the file
and I can go here in here in you know get rid of them
backgrounder just tackling the sample met some
and then if I save it
in an alt-tab back you can see that
our image has been fixed since been slightly clean up a little bit
in fact I'm gonna just do some scribbles man same it so you can really see that
it's
debt yep it's working now if it doesn't
automatically up to you in here I will let you know that what you're seeing is
actually
different and what's even hard drive by having a little am
yellow triangle with an exclamation mark um
need is quick got you select it or select a whole bunch of files then click
on
remote lakes I'm animal update from here
you'll notice that these are pretty pixelated
I mean this is not the resolution a scam user you can fix that by going to view
scream arm display performance man high-quality
and they're even see a clear that that's what actually that's how I scanned it as
i'm saying is gonna turn that back its like im
have better performance if you wanna see what your book looks like without all
these margins and boxes around your work
go to view screamo them in preview so you can
see what it looks like okay arm
now what's term at back
and let's go to printing our booklet to do that you go to File Print
because so here for good or preview you can see that it does our
I'm are two are front and back covers llama back center that
page to a page
yes it is organizing it properly
I'll one problem using see that response to do this in landscape mode now
parchment so we're gonna go to our print settings and fix that
see go to set up rain tation do that
and MC for printer as senate to Adobe PDF
the reason why I like doing these ok sometimes I'll be calling dobie
distiller the reason why awake putting it to a PDF
is because that that way I don't have to load up
in designing go through this whole dialogue thing every single time I want
to put my book
also Acrobat has the ability to do on an even number printing which is important
if you wanna do from bad printing if your printer does not have a duplexer
so cocaine check the preview make sure everything's working beautifully
it is Sarah gonna go to print
musters call this booklet
might take a while to save could live images
all right here it is it's working
excellent okay so Lasley if you wanna print this
Gurpreet years were your ardent even pages
purport arm in my case just say no if you do have a printer which supports a
duplex in which mind as
make sure that the stable side is on the correct side
on my case it's on top because if I leave the phone on left
my pages are gonna be the back sides are going to be
upside down so be aware that all right now in this tutorial so good work and
see you next time *** ***
