So I’m the poster child for writing niche content these days! Here’s another one for those of you who want to put interactive calculators in your PDF documents, but need some more advanced functionality than basic arithmetic functions. Like, who would read this stuff anyway??
Tag: InDesign
One of the recent issues that I ran into with InDesign is that the program doesn’t have the same brushes and advanced masking capabilities that Photoshop does so when it comes to creating a document element like an object frame that looks like it was made from torn paper, InDesign presents us with some challenges.
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.
