How to Create a Brochure in InDesign

I just uploaded a video tutorial series on YouTube on how to create a brochure in InDesign.  For this series, I’m taking a brochure Beth created in Pages and I’m re-creating as a lesson in using InDesign.  I find tutorials creating something “real world” to be more helpful than a generic lesson and I’ve tried to explain each of the steps as well as the features of InDesign that I used.  For those of you already very familiar with InDesign, this will probably be more basic that you need.  My target audience here are folks who are generally working in Word or in Pages and want to move to InDesign where there’s more flexibility than the basic word processors allow.

How to Make Your Own Canvas

 

Make-Your-Own-Canvas

I just uploaded a new video to YouTube on making a canvas, specifically a gallery wrap canvas.  This is the first video I made, but it’s just the middle part of the process that I shot for a complete painting.  I’m going to try to get to a video on the building of the frame which is easy and cheap if you do it yourself, then the whole process of priming it and then, maybe, painting the whole picture.  For small canvases I recommend going to the local art store and buying one, but for the larger ones, you can definitely save money making them yourselves, assuming you have the tools.
