    Another great video! What helps me internalize what your sharing best is when you come up with issues, unexpectedly. You know, when you say "hmmm that's not supposed to do that". Then you work out the issue and we pick up more than was intended by you working it through. You excel at live not because you are so prepared its because of your knowledge and personality. Please don't change anything in your delivery. You also present the most interesting and relevant topics.

  • @Grouchofish
    @Grouchofish 5 лет назад +13

    The 2 blank pages were added because printer spreads have to be in multiples of 4 and if your book is not in multiples of 4, Indesign will add the necessary blank pages to make it multiples of 4 since pages are printed 2 pages on each side of a single sheet of paper. Which is why your front and back covers weren’t side by side

    Terry, great tutorial and refresher for me. I make handmade books of my photography and the way I am able to print them on my Epson 3880 printer is I make a "book" out of each signature, save them as individual PDFs and then print each one using the booklet option in the printer dialogue. Fold, sew the book block, make the covers, and attach them to the book block. Labor intensive but I seldom make an edition of more than 10.

  • @devincharbonneau9088
    @devincharbonneau9088 3 года назад

    Awesome tutorial, thank you! My question is, is there a specific way that you have to save a file for a touchscreen TV? I've been using a program called Intuiface to create touchscreen presentations for tradeshows for a few years now but if I could just use InDesign for this purpose that would be much easier and would save our company money. I know most eBooks created in ID will respond to "On Touch/Click" interactivity but is it possible to scroll with touch and is there a specific file type I should save this out as for a TV versus for standard interactivity and mobile? Thanks again!

    Hi Terry! Thank you for this class. Q: If I am designing for a picture book which would include large artwork and only a few words, and definitely also be ePub, would it work to design each page (image and text) as a single image placed on each page? How would that effect the reflow of an ebook? Thanks!
