Week Five and Six: Design Class

Over the last two weeks we've been learning the basics of InDesign.  Cas has been amazingly helpful (and enthusiastic!) and  I wish we have had this classes in the first semester of first year.  This knowledge of InDesign would have made every presentation I have given much stronger and would have definately helped when we were trying to create a brand/logo for our presentations to David Bush. 

In the last two weeks we've learnt about BLEED and SLUG, KERNING (spacing between letters), Importing images and illustrations and the importance of PACKAGING file correctly, CMYK colour values and their importantance when printing, PRINTERS MARKS, PAGE NUMBERING, EXPORTING to pdf, how to put FILL TEXT into a document, how to set up a document, where of the net to find: FONTS, INSPIRATION and IDEAS.

Its been so, so, so helpful! Finally, I can make something look semi-professional!
