00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:14.300
In the previous video we could already see
how we create our own documents

2
00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:17.333
and also work with guides to structure our
layout a bit.

3
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.800
We also learned that we need to use an offset
to set up a buffer zone for the

4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.433
print shop.

5
00:00:22.433 --> 00:00:25.033
And we have also used other tools before.

6
00:00:25.033 --> 00:00:28.933
Of course, it's a bit time-consuming, so let's
take a look at the OTH

7
00:00:28.933 --> 00:00:31.933
templates, which already bring us ready-made
layouts.

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.800
Before that, I will save the file and select
"Save file as".

9
00:00:37.133 --> 00:00:39.033
The templates will make our lives easier.

10
00:00:39.033 --> 00:00:43.033
We then only have to concentrate on the content
and don't have

11
00:00:43.033 --> 00:00:46.766
to think about the layout or make any big settings
that we had to take into account

12
00:00:46.766 --> 00:00:48.633
now.

13
00:00:48.633 --> 00:00:52.633
When I save the file, I get the option to save
the

14
00:00:52.633 --> 00:00:55.700
document on my computer or in the cloud.

15
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:59.233
My file has not yet been saved, you can see
that here in the upper left corner of

16
00:00:59.233 --> 00:01:01.000
the star next to the file name.

17
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.000
I'm just going to use the local save option
and drop the 4-pager here.

18
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:15.000
When saving, you can see that there are different
file formats that we can use.

19
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.000
The "indd format" is the standard design document

20
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
format and there is also the idml, for example
below,

21
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.000
with which we reduce the compatibility to CS4
here.

22
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.000
That means it's an advantage for us.

23
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.000
This means that other InDesign versions will
also be able to open our documents.

24
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.000
I will come back to this later, what this means
and what benefits it has for us.

25
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000
But these are the possibilities that are offered
to us here.

26
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.000
The standard document format for InDesign,
the

27
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.000
template format i.e. "indt" and the "idml"
format

28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.000
which creates compatibility down to CS4.

29
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.000
In the upper left corner of my tab you can
now see the new file name.

30
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.000
The asterisk has disappeared, so the file has
been saved.

31
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.000
So, next, let's take a look at the OTH templates
that are provided to us.

32
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000
There are a few formats to choose from.

33
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.000
The OTH templates can be found in the Document
Portal, in the 50

34
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
Communication folder, and then in the Templates
section.

35
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.000
I downloaded it and are now available locally.

36
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.000
Let's see what's on offer.

37
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.000
To do this, I switch to the overview.

38
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.000
The 6-page, which we find here at the very

39
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.000
beginning, then a flyer with DIN long format

40
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000
as a 2-pager, a flyer in DIN long format

41
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.000
as a 4-pager and as a 6-pager.

42
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.000
We also find the A0 format poster at the bottom.

43
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.000
So a small selection of different formats that
are provided to us here.

44
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.000
So these are the templates that are offered
to us here.

45
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.000
However, we now also know how we could create
a template, a different DIN

46
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
format, ourselves.

47
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.000
So that's an important foundation that we already
have.

48
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.000
But let's take a look at the six-page format
here anyway.

49
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.000
There are various documents to choose from.

50
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.000
As a preview, for example, this PDF.

51
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.000
I can take a look at it and find different
cover pages for the faculties

52
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.000
here.

53
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.000
At the very end there is also a content

54
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.000
example; a page for the actual text.

55
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.000
As I said, there are also the different formats
here below

56
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.000
compatible with the idml file format for our
template

57
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.000
and the indd, which is the Indesign document
format.

58
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.000
So if for some reason I have an older InDesign
version

59
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.000
available or other applications like Affinity

60
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.000
Publisher, for example, then I could still

61
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.000
use the idml to open this template.

62
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000
Otherwise, of course, I use the InDesign document
format.

63
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.000
What can also be found here, super practical:
I find the fonts

64
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.000
that are used in the document and also links
that have been used

65
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
in the document are stored here as a package.

66
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000
This means that if I don't have a font at home
or don't have it

67
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.000
available on my computer, then this is included
here and I can install the font

68
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.000
here again.

69
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.000
As soon as I open the document, I get a hint
here.

70
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.000
That there are problems with shortcuts.

71
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.000
It's not unusual now.

72
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.000
Problems with shortcuts arise when I access
a document

73
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.000
that uses photos that were stored on a central
drive

74
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.000
that I don't have access to right now

75
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.000
because I'm now on a local network.

76
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000
If I open the document now, it still works,

77
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.000
so I now have this shortcut search again.

78
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.000
You can see here in the preview of the links
that, for example, the

79
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.000
images that are embedded here are linked to
storage locations that simply do not

80
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.000
exist for me.

81
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.000
And that's where this reference to the missing
links came from.

82
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.000
But the files are still in this project folder
under "Links"

83
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.000
and InDesign will find them automatically.

84
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.000
In this preview area, I can also find more
details about the photos, for

85
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.000
example the resolution, the file size.

86
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.000
But as I said, also the storage location.

87
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.000
Now let's take a closer look at the document
or the structure of the

88
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.000
document.

89
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.000
I'll jump here with a double-click on page
3 There you will find

90
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.000
the first cover page for the Faculty of Architecture.

91
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.000
However, you can click through in the right-hand
navigation and call

92
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.000
up the different faculties until you find the
right one.

93
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.000
For each faculty there is an extra cover page
with a title and a subheading.

94
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.000
If I have found something suitable, I still
have the option to change the

95
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.000
photo.

96
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.000
I'll click in here or I could also customize
the logo and of course edit the

97
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.000
text.

98
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.000
So if I double-click here, I can change

99
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.000
this text and edit it accordingly.

100
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.000
If we scroll all the way down on page 11, we
find the

101
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.000
actual content page, i.e. the back of the flyer.

102
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.000
There is the headline, a continuous text and
also a list of examples.

103
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.000
All this is now just dummy text, which of course
you have to adapt accordingly.

104
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.000
Let's take a look at a somewhat more extensive
format,

105
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.000
namely the six-page DIN Lang Flyer.

106
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.000
And of course, in landscape format, it consists
of

107
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.000
one DIN A4 page, but it is composed of three
individual pages.

108
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.000
On the right we always see the cover with the
photo

109
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.000
and the title for the respective faculty.

110
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.000
So here, too, I can click through the template
until I find the right one.

111
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.000
Title and image and logo are already there,

112
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.000
only the subtitles or headings can

113
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.000
be added and edited by myself.

114
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.000
The second page of this flyer also

115
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.000
consists of three individual pages.

116
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.000
It's already laid out with various examples,
for example this infobox,

117
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.000
headlines one, two and three, bulleted lists
and continuous text.

118
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.000
This is all still dummy text.

119
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.000
If I click here, I can add my content and continue
editing here.

120
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.000
I'll switch to the selection tool.

121
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.000
Of course, you can also customize, eject, and
rearrange

122
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
the elements. Of course, that is also possible.

123
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.000
You don't have to keep all the elements as
they are offered here.

124
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.000
And if I switch to the view via the main menu,
then I can

125
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.000
also check here again which guides are used.

126
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.000
We've already experienced that.

127
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:40.000
There is the document grid, but also columns,
guides and page margins.

128
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.000
And we also find the offset area here again.

129
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.000
Yes, you could already change the text frames
and images we

130
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.000
see here in the template with your selection
tool.

131
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.000
Enlarge, reduce, move or even adjust the text.

132
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.000
It is important that once you have made your
changes, you should

133
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.000
of course save the file. So don't forget that.

134
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.000
Here via the main menu "Save file as".

135
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.000
you have the option of saving the project on
your computer.

136
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.000
Of course, we should store a name here that
is descriptive

137
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.000
and does not overwrite the template.

138
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.000
We probably want to use it again.

139
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.000
So enter a name here that you can do something
with.

140
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.000
And then click Save.

141
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000
That's it for the layout templates of OTH Regensburg.

142
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.000
There you could now get to know the most important
elements

143
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.000
for the structure of the templates with the
different

144
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.000
faculties, which are stored with the photos
and

145
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.000
titles, but which you can then also add subtitles.

146
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.000
The pages with the actual content are also
already

147
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000
created and can be adapted by you as you wish.

148
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.000
However, you will already find the most important
elements

149
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.000
there and may simply have to replace an image
or create a

150
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.000
copy of an area in order to use it or use it.

151
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.000
easily remove other areas that you don't need.

152
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.000
In the following video we will take a closer
look at the

153
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.000
text tool and the styles for our characters
and paragraphs.

154
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.000
Because there are also templates so that we
can work consistently

155
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.000
with characters and character colors across
the documents.

156
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.000
So that's what we'll see in the next video.
