00:00:11.333 --> 00:00:15.500
Let's start with a short tour and the function
overview of Adobe InDesign.

2
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.400
So, as soon as you launch Adobe InDesign, you'll
get this splash screen.

3
00:00:19.533 --> 00:00:22.600
On the left side, you will find the

4
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.600
option to start or open new files.

5
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.666
In the central area, you can quickly access
templates, such as the A4 portrait

6
00:00:28.666 --> 00:00:30.200
format.

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.600
And here at the very bottom, you can see recent
files.

8
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:39.300
You can also switch to a grid view with a slightly
larger preview.

9
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.200
I'll just start here with the A4,

10
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.900
an upright standard format.

11
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Afterwards you will see this view of an A4

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
sheet in portrait format with white paper

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000
borders and inside you will see a purple

14
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.000
mark for the page margins, as it is also used
in Word, for example.

15
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.000
On the far left you will see our toolbar.

16
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Here we will find different tools.

17
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.000
We won't need and get to know all of them,
but

18
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
at least the most important ones.

19
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.000
At the top, as usual, you can see a main navigation.

20
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.000
With access to all important functions.

21
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.000
For the workspace itself, here on the top left
you can see the

22
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000
tab with the name of the file and the zoom
factor.

23
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Other files that you open are also offered
here in tabs.

24
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.000
There is also a vertical and horizontal

25
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.000
ruler around the work area.

26
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.000
Once again briefly to the main navigation.

27
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.000
As we said, you will find all the features
here.

28
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.000
If I briefly browse through here.e

29
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Important is of course Save or Save As.

30
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000
If you save as, you can give it a new name.

31
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
The export function will also be important
for us.

32
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.000
Later, however, we will learn about the possibilities
of outputting

33
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000
the file or project for printing or other applications.

34
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.000
In the Window pane.

35
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000
Under Workspace, find presets for our

36
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.000
workspace as we see it right now.

37
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000
The "Basics" setting is now currently selected.

38
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.000
There are then slightly fewer functions

39
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.000
and configuration areas active.

40
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.000
But we are now also switching this to "Extended".

41
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.000
And then we get more pallets

42
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
displayed here on the right.

43
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.000
There are functions included that we will definitely

44
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.000
need and that make our lives a little easier.

45
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.000
And in addition, there is a configuration bar
under

46
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.000
the main navigation and this configuration
bar

47
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.000
always depends on the selected tool.

48
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.000
So depending on what you select here in the
bar on the left, this

49
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.000
configuration bar will also adapt and offer
you more options.

50
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.000
At the moment, our selection tool is active,
which is the most important tool.

51
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.000
But if we switch to the Type tool, you can
see that

52
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.000
different settings appear here compared to
the Selection tool.

53
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000
I now jump to the right again to the pallets.

54
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.000
Under "Pages" you get an overview of our page

55
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.000
navigation and the structure of the document.

56
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.000
If you need more pages, here on the bottom
right you

57
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.000
will find a plus button and you can add pages.

58
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.000
Here in my example, I have a first page on
the right,

59
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.000
a double page with a left and a right side
and a final left page.

60
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.000
This is common with double-sided documents.

61
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.000
So if they are created in the default preselection,

62
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.000
as we have now called up via the defaults,
we

63
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.000
get this double-page document.

64
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.000
You can expand all the palettes and then

65
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.000
see the functions from the other tabs

66
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.000
within that palette that are in that area.

67
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000
Then there is a scrollbar here that we can
use to move around in the document.

68
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.000
You see, then I come to the other pages.

69
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.000
You can also, which I use a lot, just press
the spacebar, grab

70
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.000
the document, move the workspace and easily
feel your way

71
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.000
to the place that is more important to you.

72
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.000
If you use the Alt key and the mouse wheel,
i.e. Alt

73
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.000
key pressed and scroll mouse wheel, then you
have

74
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.000
a zoom effect and you can zoom out and in to
where

75
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.000
the mouse cursor is currently located.

76
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.000
There is still a gray area next to the pages.

77
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.000
This is our workspace, so to speak, which we
can also

78
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.000
use to store elements that we may need later

79
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.000
and then simply drag into the page.

80
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.000
Anything outside the white page is

81
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.000
not printed and not output.

82
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.000
However, saved in the project.

83
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.000
So much for the quick start, the different

84
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.000
areas of InDesign and also the first tools.

85
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.000
We have also seen how we can expand the selection

86
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.000
of tools and configuration options a bit.

87
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.000
In the following videos, we'll go into the
details and

88
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.000
then dig deeper into the features bit by bit.
