This week we will be working on designing a page... we should all become comfortable using InDesign on the Macs...
To start - open a new document and set the perameters of the page to the following:
67p6 and 89p3 - save this as the default called "newspaper" to every computer... then in the future, you can just set the new page to these dimensions.
http://www.lib.umich.edu/exploratory/pdfs/indesignCS2.pdf - this is a great tutorial for beginning... I suggest as you read through this, that each of you play with the program.
As a class, we will work on how to use the text boxes, how to wrap text around pictures, how to insert pictures and how to put gridlines on the page for each page layout. You will be given an article to read about page design and how to make appealing pages.
