Hey designers! This is a longer more in-depth tutorial. Dive right to the how-to sections: Page setup: 00:57 | First 2 pages design: 8:29 | Third page design: 19:11 | Ad design: 27:30
You're an absolute star, this had helped me so much. They way you do things is how I would also do them. I'm learning so much from this, thank you very much for sharing
lots of appreciations this going to make my professional amazing as a journalist who is also a graphic design to a higher level.Then l still need your help in how to handle text when we have a feature article.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. This is one of the few inDesign tutorials where someone actually walks you through the process with voice instructions. Again, thank you very much for making this tutorial. I have definitely learned a great deal from this tutorial and have subscribed to your channel for future videos!
Nikki, Thank you so much for this. I am an Independent Lifestyle Photographer and Magazine and I Love, love, love your tutorial. It made things a lot easier and quicker for me to get through "Idea Block", LOL I can take it from here. Will definately be watching more of your videos. I'm a lifetime subscriber now.
You are a life saver. I am doing the school Magazine and have never used InDesign before. I've used Photoshop and Publisher which is helpful. I was feeling very overwhelmed and wondering how I was going to do this when i didn't really know where to start. You have given me confidence to go and do it now. Thanks so much
Thanks Judy! InDesign is so much easier in the long run for publications over Photoshop and Publisher. You have a lot more flexibility and you can easily pull graphics from Photoshop into InDesign.
Wow! This is so amazing! I have always wanted to start a magazine, but had no idea how to create it. In one 37-minute clip, you have made it so easy. I have learned so much, and going forward, I must work on and complete my magazine! God bless you as you help more people!
Hi, I have been watching your indesign tutorials since 2016. I have learn lots of thing from your tutorial. I am really grateful to you. At you are the master of Adobe Indesign.
Im an absolute beginner and I found this video the most valuable. So practical and cut to the chase video. Also, love your speaking voice!! HUGE THANKS:)
Your tutorial has answered all my unanswered questions as a noob of InDesign in 37 minutes. Thank you so much! I had been faffing around for a few days beforehand and now I am flying thanks to you :) Subbed.
Thanks for the tutorial. This was my first look at InDesign, and was pretty easy to follow. I was happy with my final design spread. I do have a lot of experience in other Adobe CC products, but I imagine this would be tricky to follow for a first Adobe CC project of any kind. It would be useful if you used software like Spot the Mouse (Windows) or similar so we can see the keyboard shortcuts as you use them. These notes might prove useful to someone. In 2019 the layout can be sufficiently matched to this vid in Window>Workspace>Essentials Classic Swatches is under Window>Color>Swatches 6.42 Preview key is w 7.13 Hold Shift to keep new block aligned with old. 7.25 Shift + Cursor Arrow to jump the page number across Working with colors is very different from PS, so still have lots to learn!
Terrific tutorial... I'm familiar with InDesign - but it has been some time since I used it. You were able to capture this video in a simple and understanding way. Very much appreciated!
During the entire quarantine period, I learned how to write soft at soft soft. TNice tutorials is not to say that self-isolation is a pleasant tNice tutorialng,
Your tutorials are amazing, you're explaining things very well while it's easy to follow through. Also, you've got a nice and engaging voice to listen to :) Subscribed!
Not really a flaw. Since I was only designing 3 pages I added the extra page so the spreads show up visually together like they would if you designed a full magazine. The step was for the tutorial only.
This is great for newbies - just want to pick a nit - when placing your "Awesome Product" text, it seems that you would want to factor in the bleed. In other words, drag text box from the left TRIM edge to the right if the box, rather than from the bleed edge to the right of the orange box. Otherwise, you will wind up with unequal spacing around the text.
The 8.2677 x 11.6929 size is just an A4 (210x297 mm). Pick that from the preset, the units should stay as inches if you have that set. Or enter 210mm and 297mm into the width and height fields, InDesign will conver it automatically.
Thanks for the video. could you please tell me how to duplicate a page along with its full content? if i do that i miss all the content and design from the page to the duplicated one.
Hi! First of all, this looks great! I'm taking a digital foundations class, as part of my major, and one of our projects is to create a three-page magazine article. I'm confused with what to do with the first page that sits by itself. Would the heading go there, or on the two facing pages?
Select the 2nd page, then hold down 'shift' and select the last page, so all pages but the first are selected. Next, click on the dropdown in the top right of the pages panel and uncheck, 'Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle'. Deselect the pages. Now you can select the first page and drag it down and place it right next to the last page... This way you won't have an individual page loitering with intent at the top! - Tip came from a wonderful viewer! You can also ignore the first page and save out pages 2-4 in your PDF. Depends how you need to present your final design for the class.
Thanks so much for this video! it is great! you are great! I'm so new at this it sucks :( i'm having issues adding spaces between paragraphs! i see you just add them with the enter, I assume?. But, when I try to do it the rest of the text just disappears!! so annoying :(
Hey i need some help, i'm designing a magazine with a lot of cutted people photos, but i'm not sure about my workflow, should i make the cut out on PS and save it as a png and then export it to ID or should i directly export the images from PS to ID, the final magazine will be printed so i'm kind of worried about the color also
I didn’t use a magazine mock-up for this tutorial. I quickly created something in Photoshop to show the final spread but it doesn’t exist in a full magazine format. There are great magazine mock-up templates online though.
Tip for placing first and last pages side by side - Select the 2nd page, then hold down 'shift' and select the last page, so all pages but the first are selected. Next, click on the dropdown in the top right of the pages panel and uncheck, 'Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle'. Deselect the pages. Now you can select the first page and drag it down and place it right next to the last page... This way you won't have an individual page loitering with intent at the top! Cheers...
How does a spread like this project translate into print. I'm working on a stapled brochure that is 6 pages plus a front and back cover but I don't want to start designing it until I know how each page is oriented for print. I'm trying to avoid any kind of back-tracking if I design it wrong.
How do I set up my document to "LAYOUT DEFAULT" like you have in tour video? When I open my paragraph pallete it doesn't look like what is shown in your video. Please help. Thanks _kq
Hi Kevin. This is a custom workspace that I arranged and then saved. You can see my custom workspaces in this video: th-cam.com/video/yuJuKCo4i34/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the tutorial. Is it a flaw in Indesign that one has to at that first page which you won't be using?
Not really a flaw. Since I was only designing 3 pages I added the extra page so the spreads show up visually together like they would if you designed a full magazine. The step was for the tutorial only.
@@designlikeapro so how do you go about having only spread in a document with all the pages as side by side pairs?
best tutorial ever
Thanks for some great teaching!
Excellent video ...............................Thank You !!!

Hello and thank you for this content. I really liked the images. Do you have any recommendations of good sites for images?
I get most of my images from Adobe Stock with my CC subscription. I also subscribed to Death by Stock photo that sends images each month.
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Awesome
Great Tutorial for first Timers in InDesign
Thanks so much for this video! it is great! you are great! I'm so new at this it sucks :( i'm having issues adding spaces between paragraphs! i see you just add them with the enter, I assume?. But, when I try to do it the rest of the text just disappears!! so annoying :(
Use the main Enter key to the left of the numpad instead of the one on the far right corner of your keyboard.
Hey i need some help, i'm designing a magazine with a lot of cutted people photos, but i'm not sure about my workflow, should i make the cut out on PS and save it as a png and then export it to ID or should i directly export the images from PS to ID, the final magazine will be printed so i'm kind of worried about the color also
Thank you so much, this is awesome and super helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial.. Where did you get the magazine mock ?.. Id like to see what the final product would like in a real magazine. Thanks
I didn’t use a magazine mock-up for this tutorial. I quickly created something in Photoshop to show the final spread but it doesn’t exist in a full magazine format. There are great magazine mock-up templates online though.
I am a brand new fan of Yours! When you put the orange stroke on the image How did you know the cmyk color numbers for orange on the fly?!!!
experience
I use orange a lot in my designs but more than likely I made this design before filming and had it written down. ;)
now i am in a good mood
Thankyou that was ready helpful.
Thanks for this tutorial and your Beautiful voice.
Thank you. You are an awesome teacher : )
Never use InDesign, but your tutorial helped me a lot! Thank you for your time, I am subscribed to your channel now!
Wo0o0o0w beautiful design..thank u 😊⚘
Do you have a link on how to export the magazine cover and body into a PDF
hello, wanted to know how do I go about printing the magazine out ?
