If you have an older version of InDesign, do not worry. So, just follow the steps that we have today, and you should be fine.ĬS6, CS5, or Creative Cloud, setting up a document is about the same. So, to first open up our InDesign document, we’re going to go down to here, finder, which is a big smiley face if you’re on a Mac. We’re going to go to applications, and we’re going to open up InDesign in our finder.Go up to the top toolbar, which is right up here, and we’re going to.Go to ‘new’, we’re going to slide over and open up the document.There should be a pop-up window that that comes up right here that says ‘new document’ at the top.Select ‘preview’ here at the bottom left, just so we can see exactly what’s happening behind us.
We can talk about web and mobile a little bit later, but for today’s purposes, we’ll be doing print. We’re going to be creating a postcard today. We’re just going to do a one-sided postcard. So, right here we’re just going to select one page, but when you’re talking to your printing professional, make sure to ask how many pages you’re going to need, so you can make this change right here. And just as a side note, if you are going to be doing a magazine, and you’re thinking about how many pages you’re going to put together for that, make sure you do it in increments of four. That’s how the magazine will be put together, so you can do a four-page magazine, an eight-page magazine, a thirty-two-page magazine, as you can see, just as long as they’re increments of four.įor our purposes, facing pages won’t make a big difference, but when you’re creating a magazine or a brochure it will.
So, just as a point of habit, always select ‘facing pages’ here. Your start page, ninety-nine percent of the time your start page will be one. There are some times when that will not happen, but for our purposes, and for I would say ninety-nine percent of the times that you need, it will be page one.
