ISSUU - Digital Publishing Platform for Magazines, Catalogs, and more InDesign Templates Until InDesign CS4, Adobe shipped a number of templates with InDesign. However, when CS5 shipped, those templates mysteriously disappeared. After a year of legal wrangling with Adobe, we have obtained permission to distribute those templates here, at InDesignSecrets.com. Please note: These templates are saved in the CS4 format, so you can open them in InDesign CS4 and later.We’re distributing the templates “as is” and subject to Adobe’s own licensing agreements (see below).These are templates, which means you may create pretty much any InDesign documents you want based on them.

Digital Publishing Platform for Magazines, Catalogs, and more Lots of Free InDesign Video Training by: David Blatner | December 30, 2009 You know that Anne-Marie and I each present a bunch of InDesign training videos at Lynda.com, right? But if you don’t subscribe you may not realize that lynda.com offers several free “test” videos on eaach title, just to whet your appetite. But there’s some good stuff in there! For example, click on the links on these pages. Obviously, if you find those useful, you may want to consider subscribing. InDesign Videos on YouTube It has also come to my attention that there’s this new-fangled contraption called YouTube, on which there are a few (or, more accurately, a few bazillion) training videos. Note that even if you’re using CS4, you might still want to watch CS3 movies, because many of the features work exactly the same. Of course, there are many more, which you can find by doing a search at YouTube. (Plus, did you know that you can play lynda.com videos on your iphone now?

Petits livres et mini-livres Pourquoi un format livre ? Ce format livre change le statut de l'écrit, on n'écrit plus seulement pour l'enseignant dans le but d'être corrigé et noté, c'est à dire voir son texte augmenté de quelques remarques en vert (rouge ou violet selon les goûts du professeur) mais on écrit pour les "autres", les lecteurs, on écrit pour être lu. L'écrit prend tout son sens. Le scripteur n'est plus un élève qui a "bon" ou "faux" mais un auteur qui va emmener son public avec des mots. Certes, il est toujours nécessaire de travailler l'orthographe, le vocabulaire, la grammaire etc, mais ce n'est pas suffisant pour apprendre à inventer, à rédiger, à s'approprier la langue écrite. Exemples de livres produits avec Lecriveron La taille de la police et la répartition du texte dépend de la longueur du texte. La mise en page peut être différente de ces exemples. Fonctionnement de l'application Lecriveron met en page votre histoire automatiquement. Et les illustrations ? Mots trop longs Mauvaise impression

Need To Learn InDesign Fast Peter Spier wrote:I've been staying out of this up to now, but I can't hold myself back any longer.Do you have any experience in print production in Photoshop? Do you know the differences between spot and process colors, and RGB, CMYK, and Lab spaces? Do you understand resolution and resampling, and when it's OK and when it's not? Do you know what bleed is? Imposition? Let's see, I'm currently a digital restoration artist so... yeah, definitely have "experience in print production in Photoshop". I'm not suggesting that I'm going to be an expert at it in no time, but I will be proficient with InDesign by this time next week, one way or another. I appreciate any and all CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, though for those for whom this post makes you "LMAO", I suppose I'm glad I could make your day more entertaining.
