Thiscuss the layout here.
Desktop Publishing - this is the capture page; look for the stuff that you need here. It may seem overwhelming at first; that's normal. My suggestion is to Open InDesign, test out layouting while using the text in the approved thread as filler. Toy around with the program here and there, and you'll eventually start learning things on your own. But, if you should start, then i suggest you go here first:

Since waberman is doing the layout, is he proficient using InDesign?
Is anyone here proficient with using the said app? Not just proficient literate but as in proficient-he-knows-what-he-is-doing? |

I think I have the most experience with InDesign, as I have been studying it for Bulan. I've successfully made pdf's out of it with very basic design.
Unfortunately, I still wouldn't call myself an expert; I am yet to unlock the full power of the program.
As for the others, I can't say. |

It's not complicated per se. If you know the basics of Photoshop, then he will be able to understand ID relatively easy. The commands are mostly the same, and all you reallt have to learn would be the page layouts:
Master Pages in Adobe InDesign
I mostly learned from that page. As long as you put your mind to it, it's easy. Just have to practice, that's all. You can't learn it if you just read. |
