InDesign Workshop: One

In preparation for my three week project “re imaging Design Histories” I participated in a one hour workshop introduction into a new programme to me, Adobe InDesign. Within the workshop session i designed a one page layout, utilising the grid system as well as understanding settings such as bleed, slug and margins, using an example picture and paragraph, the one page layout i designed was about the Mona Lisa. this session was useful in order to learn about PPI, to ensure that all the images i use are of appropriate quality as well as making sure that all images inserted are CMYK colour spectrum, so that they print higher quality in correspondence to the printer i would use. i found this exercise to be useful as a short, guided introduction to the InDesign programme. I will now need to practice these techniques so that i can competently operate Adobe InDesign. i will find out if within the next three weeks if i can use this programme when creating my “Re imagining Design Histories” project, however there are further InDesign workshops to follow before that will occur.
