today I have a tutorial based around
magazine layouts in Adobe InDesign both
for print and web views that's coming
right up now
how's it going people welcome back to
store graphics I hope you're doing well
today I've had to move from six heads
per week
down to five uploads because I simply
cannot make decent content for six days
a week
whilst being a graphic designer there
aren't enough hours in the day so now
that any days I'm not going to go
floating on Saturday and Sunday today
however thanks to another subscriber
suggestion we were looking at they've
been designed in base layout and export
for magazine use it is going to be a
long tutorial and I know many of my
subscribers are most likely not you can
use it we can design often but I do like
to cover a wide range of areas of
graphic design on this channel so if
you're not a fan of Adobe InDesign in don't fret I have more illustrator and
Photoshop tutorials as well as much much
more in the pipeline there's a list of
time stops in the corner if you want to
see specific points of this tutorial if
you do find this tutorial helpful let me
know in the comment section below and
subscribe to secure graphics you haven't
done already sitting got the layout we
are magazine / web use is slowly
different and out of print when you
create the document you can elect to
generate it for web use here
however like in my most recent web
publication link in the description
below I'll use the print document and
you shall see why next for this magazine
I use a typical a Ford that will pay
spread for a number of ages if this was
a print project and you will see later
in the InDesign tutorial I would only
design I work in Photoshop and add the
text and load the files in InDesign but
seeing as this is for web views I don't
have to worry about the text being
printed blurry as this would screen
using Lee so with that in mind I created
everything in Photoshop and transferred
the files over to InDesign
I simply created an a3 landscape
document at 300 PPI in Photoshop
and then split them in half for my
magazine pages once I've done that I
could in cream I work on here for the
magazine the left section view the left
page and the right protection being the
right page once happy I flatten each
side and save them individually as JPEGs
a makanan design and use the box tool
and place my files by going up to file
and in place
we're exporting a magazine for web use
you have a few different choices
depending on what you want to do with it
for example an SWF file will have a h2
animation like Sarah
a client for this magazine however
wanted to use interactive PDF version
make sure you select spreads and select
all due to JPEG lossy setting as well as
a maximum alpha it's worked fine for me
and you computed magazine in the link in
the description below next we will cover
how to set up a magazine for print Adobe
InDesign which is a little more detailed
and in-depth now let's set up an
InDesign document for magazine layout
for print go up to a file and your
document for printing we obviously need
to select the print option here and for
the number of pages you need to fit
however many pages you want to be
magazine also taking into account the
front and back page we can add a delete
pages easily at the late stage here we
can put in the size of each individual
page and I'm going to run with a four
for today and then the orientation I
either landscape or portray four columns
I often use three or magazine work but
some people may like to use two or even
four columns it is completely up to the
designer and then you want to use a
three millimeter bleed that is added
around the entire document
if your measurements are nine millimeter
you need to close a Libyan design and
reopen it and go to InDesign at the top
left corner preferences and then
measurements and increments when your
InDesign magazine document is generated
it should look something like this the
lines on the page that just guides
they're not going to be printed so add
ugly pages go to layout and then choose
your options from here
using my method for magazine design for
print I will then make my CDs in
Photoshop or release the artwork earlier
I recommend anything that isn't type or
logos you want to add the tanks and
logos directly into Adobe InDesign so
that then the old quality and do not
become pixelated and printed in
Photoshop I make an a3 document and then
we're going to rotate it 90 degrees
landscape event I generated our 300 PPI
then I add a guide halfway down the
split it up into two sections each one
VNA for
I then add guides to the edges to
increase the document by six millimeters
each way that will compensate for the
three millimeter bleed in Adobe InDesign
bleed here the central for printers that
they were cut everything outside of the
bleed to keep your main content and
bleeds
once I'm happy and then cropped each
side and flatten them and save them as
to individual JPEGs
now back native InDesign create a box
across the page like so and then go to
file on place
the KO file and drop it in it should fit
perfectly in place like so
hold down out until you see this icon up
here to duplicate the box lead the image
inside the box on the other side
now we can start adding in our text
using the box tool we use to add an
image and also import your logo files
remember to select all of your text and
go up to create our lines before you
send the file to print alternatively you
can leave it as it is and package the
font files along with Adobe InDesign
document to export or print up to file
and export select Adobe PDF print and
then hit OK use the most recent version
of Acrobat and these are the settings I
will use for this window under
compression I use these settings here
for high quality friends and I select
every single option apart for crop marks
here it is best to talk with your
printing company before as they may have
specific scented settings or printing in
the summary section if there are any
warnings about your magazine document
they will be flagged here once complete
export and you should have a preview of
it open up in Adobe Acrobat
