I think there many people here like to see more about indesign and more about the print process and what we need to know about the prints like colors .dimension..etc ..
@@MatthewEncina what is the diffrent between RGB & CMYK !....also about the dimension. how do I know the right dimension for Posters ..books ..magazines ..etc ..I'm a begginer so I hope you get my questions ..and thanks a lot
There's an excellent course on Domestika about Final Art and printing methods. Also there are several InDesign courses, the one about Automatization is the best of them.
@@corgikun2579 Which course is the good one you suggested? I can't find anything with the word "Automatization". I can only find this one: www.domestika.org/en/courses/436-automated-editorial-design-with-adobe-indesign
Always been afraid of Indesign and just used Illustrator for book layouts. But it looks like the much more consistent platform to use. Cool to see behind the scenes! Also the book is great, so anyone reading that doesn't have it, pick it up!
Hello, maybe you could make a video about judging amateur design? Like, designers wanna be can you their logo designs, poster designe etc. And you can evaluate these designs and help designers with advices?
You don't even use the baseline grid! If anyone is watching this, I recommend you check out these books: -Grid Systems, by Josef Müller-Brockmann (Gustavo Gili) -Flipping Pages, by Huang Weiming and Tan Cher Lynn (Gingko Press) More detail is needed to make a good book design.
It's a shame no one else liked this comment. Finding accessible information about editorial and book design is really challenging. Thank you for sharing these resources!
Any tips on how to best handle text files from an outside source (e.g. Pages) that are copied into InDesign? Is there a "link" option for text so that the content automatically gets updated in ID when editing in the "master" file/original source. Thanks in advance!
I'm almost finished with my graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. I labeled layers by text vs. images, and then by page number, and all of that is linked through word. When I add in pages, it becomes all scrambled. I thought writing this memoir digitally would be faster, but I don’t think so anymore. I did spend time going through all of my layers in every document in my 250-page book, renumbering the layers according to the new page number, but now reviewing all of my journals, I need to add in more. Do you have any suggestions for organizing?
Not sure what you mean. How could the text get more attention in a way that makes it more interesting to read? This is something I have not pondered before and any advice you can give would open my eyes to where I can continue my research into how to make content look better.
1:27 paragraph 5: kick down 'of' cuz it looks to be falling off paragraphs 2 and 3: have a weird shape, need to finesse rag, and widow on paragraph 3 with 'course', need more space between lead-in copy/header and first paragraph. left page composition with 5's isn't the most interesting composition. one or 2 of the 5's bleeding off the edge would be better since we all know this isn't gonna be off-set printed, just digital. 2:27 need more space between lead-in copy/header and first paragraph paragraph 2: has a diagonal shape and 'of a product' needs to brought up to line above paragraph 3: 'and exclusivity...' needs to be brought up to line above, 'Warren Buffet doesn't match design system for previous quotes (it's bumped down to line below where 1:27 and 3:42 are on same line) left page is very very bottom heavy. 3:42 needs to be updated to newer apple iPad device to stay relevant to year paragraphs 2, 3, and 4: have a weird ragline, header/lead-in need more space from first paragraph, illustration needs finessing. 'to' can be kicked down to line below cuz it looks to be falling off. I don't understand why use a 7-column grid when there's really not a ton of content. it's not an infographic, newspaper, magazine(11x17 spread), or website. it's an 'e-book'. it has a header (h1), body, footer, pagination/folio, and graphic/illustration...that's IT. this book doesn't justify having an off-set 7 column grid...AT ALL. overall, ok design for a quick turn-around since it's probably not a hi-priority project with other (paid client) projects coming down the pipeline. Is Min really that slammed with work? probably coulda lightened her load, and assigned/briefed an intern or jr. designer on this project so he/she can have something better and cool in their portfolio, right?
The sound design on this video is A+

That actually be great, an overview of the must know info when designing for print would be great especially for us beginners
this is so insightful! I'm a graphic design major and really appreciate this. Thank you!
One of my favourite books on earth, I didn’t realise I was doing all the steps during my career cause it just felt right ❤
Wow all I need to know in 2 minutes. Impressive.

Nice. I was waiting for the 2nd print.
More of these please. Thank you.
thanks for the great efforts..we need more about indesign
This comes exactly at the right moment.
Loved it.😍😍
Yay! Hello Futur
missed the first print can't wait for the second one

Curious to know if the book designs and layoutas are all designed by Chris or is it a collective effort?

I'd love to get an email from you guys when the print copy of the book is available. (Subscribed to thefutur's mailing)

When will this book be available in India? Eagerly waiting!!
Nice work on the colors, but the text needs more attention.
A book needs to be interesting to read, not to look at.

says who?
@@LokeyeMC I assume he means the actual content of the words
@@ji-di7zr ah that makes total sense, don't know how I missed that
Wow I didn't know InDesign could be used to design books
That's actually the main reason it was made, for printable materials longer than a few pages :)
was that sarcasm 😳?
@@lenatian1078 no it's not sarcasm. I actually did not know. I never explored it.
Book layout design from start to finish, eh? 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this comment is life... 🙌
@@MGuyette3289 haha thanks bud.
this was really fast.. also i didnt see the point when you made the number of the page on the right
"Be the first to know"
should be
"Be the first to do"
Action comes from necessity. If you don't have the knowledge you don't even know what to act on.
If you don't have a goal it's hard to be successful.
i know this is a great video but i didn't understand one bit
I love everything about this, but I shamefully admit that I laughed like an 8-year-old at the title.
this was sped up too fast. Cant see the functions your doing
There's almost no information of substance in this video. Instead it's an ad for the book.
Could you go slower please?
