In order to prepare for creating projects using InDesign, I found three beginners tutorials that would help me learn how to use Adobe InDesign. Below are the three tutorials.
The first tutorial is called Learn Adobe InDesign in 9 minutes. The short video describes in depth the basic functions and tools that are contained in InDesign which include creating a new document, setting initial document preferences (i.e. title and units), and how to use Pages, Layers, and Paragraphs. After watching the video, I did not find any tools that would be hard to use as many of them are straight forward. InDesign would be a good tool to use to make posters or pages in magazines. InDesign sounds fun and I am exited to use it. The most interesting thing from the video was how to create pages and layers.
The second tutorial was called Adobe InDesign Tutorial for Beginners. The video was a little over 5 minutes. The short video showed how to create text frames, add images, add sidebar text, and how to use columns and margins in a new document. After watching the video, I found the tools to be easy and straightforward. The most interesting thing about the video is it had four different people demonstrate how to use Adobe InDesign.
The third tutorial is called Learn InDesign CC - Beginner Tutorial. The video was approximately 12 minutes long. Of the three tutorials, I found this tutorial the most helpful. The video showed how to create a new document and spent more time on the preset options where you set the file name, units, width & height, orientation, and facing pages. The most interesting thing about the video is the video gave a tour of workspace, menu bar, application bar, control pane, tools pane, and the document panels.
My name is Richard Jacob and I am a freshman at the University of Tampa majoring in Film Production. This is my final portfolio including all my work from the FMX 210 Digital Media class. Throughout the semester, I learned how to use multiple Adobe software programs to create various projects. The programs include Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Throughout my art, I showcase elements from my story, War of Dragons. My favorite project was the business cards and it can be found on page 12. The Business Cards project was created in Adobe InDesign . My least favorite project was the HTML5 Canvas because coding isn't my thing. For the portfolio, I used InDesign to create each portfolio page. Each page uses multiple layers for background, text, images of projects, and page title which makes it easier to go back and make adjustments . I followed a film theme for my Portfolio as my major is film production . I used an analogous blue color palette for my portfolio. I ho...
The Self Portrait and Propaganda Poster Project had two parts. In Part 1, I took an original picture of myself and used Adobe Illustrator to create a self portrait using the Pen Tool in Illustrator. I chose one of my high school graduation pictures. I chose to create a cartoon image. I found the pen tool a little difficult to use for this project but, I got the hang of it after using it more. The most challenging part was tracing my eyes, glasses, and face. Original Self-Portrait In Part 2 of the Self Portrait and Propaganda Poster project, I created a vector illustration using my Self-Portrait and created a Propaganda Poster. I chose to follow the WW...
The Logo Project provided an opportunity to create a logo for myself using Adobe Illustrator. First, I drew 10 possible sketches for my logo. Then I decided on one logo. I knew my logo would be related to my story, War of Dragons. The Logo BW image below is the Black/White image of my War of Dragons logo. Below the BW Image are 3 colored version of my War of Dragons Logo. I really enjoyed this project because I had the opportunity to publish an image I created in 5th grade. I would draw this image in the snow or on paper all the time. The symbol is the kings seal similar to the US Presidential Seal; whoever was in power would own the seal.
