- [Instructor] Now what I want to do is create multiple pages.
So I, of course, have my home, hikers, and peaks,
but I'm creating multiple pages for all of these peaks.
So what do I want to do
is I actually want to check everything here.
So I'm going to just zoom in,
it's command plus control, plus if you're on a PC,
and then I'm using the space bar to kind of pan around,
and what I want to do
is I want to make sure these are all highlighting green.
When they highlight in green,
that means that they're symbols, which is great, okay?
This one, I don't have to worry about too much
'cause it's going to change anyways,
but where are those symbols?
Well, if I open up the assets panel,
you can see them all right down here.
So you see peaks, peaks, all right?
Character styles associated with some elements,
as well, all right?
So I just make sure everything's green.
It's good enough for me,
and hide that assets panel,
and I'm going to select this peak's title
and I'm going to duplicate it.
Command D will duplicate it, actually below,
but you can always move it around anywhere you want.
And now I'm going to create the very first page,
which is going to be Bierstadt, 'kay?
So I'm going to zoom in on that.
First page is B-I-E-R-S-T-A-D-T.
Hardest thing about probably this one
is typing it in correctly.
B-I-E-R-S-T-A-D-T, just like that, clicking here.
Sure enough, there it is.
All right, so I'm going to use, actually,
this repeat grid right here to get me a jump start.
So shrinking this down, only showing this first element,
I'm going to ungroup grid
and that gives me these two elements.
With them selected, I can ungroup them some more,
so they're separate elements now,
and that gives me a starting point,
'cause I want a full-on image.
And I want this text to be maybe down here.
And I want to create an area
for the content for this page.
So in order to do that,
I'm actually going to select the rectangle tool
and just draw out a box in the lower right, 'kay?
From there, I'm going to turn off the border,
and what I want to do is turn on background blur.
So rather than having just a black box,
I'm going to turn on background blur
and I'm going to drop down the brightness.
So this gives me a much better look
for what I'm going for here for the content for this page,
rather than just doing a black box.
Next, I need text.
Selecting the text tool, doing a click and drag,
and what that gives me is area text right over here.
That's selected,
and you can always change it from area text
to point text at any time,
and this is where the content will go.
I'm just typing on my keyboard
because this content is actually going to come
from a text file.
So with that being said,
with that highlighted,
I can go to my desktop.
I'm going to go out to these different text files,
and here's Bierstadt.
So all I need to do is select that file,
drag and drop,
and there's my text.
And I can start to maybe resize this.
Maybe make it about 24 point, something like that.
Easier to read.
I can even add a nice drop shadow, if I want to.
Just something very subtle
just to set it off a little more.
And what I can do with this, with this new content area,
if you will, is I can also change it
and actually put it in my assets panel
as a character style.
Because as I start to make the other pages
for the other peaks,
I might need to take the size down a little bit,
and I want to make sure it's uniform.
So clicking over here,
sure enough, I made this 24-point (mumbling)
that's what it is.
And if I ever want to change it,
it's just a matter of selecting edit.
Wherever that's being used,
take it down, say 22, you can see what it does there.
So I love that.
I love using assets panel,
and this is set up for Bierstadt.
So what I'd want to do from here
is start to duplicate this for all the additional peaks,
as well, okay?
So I don't have all of them here.
These are just going to be the highlighted ones,
so I'm just going to maybe duplicate this a couple times.
Just command D,
and then go through that same process
for the other peaks that I have information for.
So here are all my content pages.
So I did about eight different peaks,
and notice these individual art boards can be moved,
but you can actually select multiple art boards
and move them as one.
And that's what I want to do
is bring them down right over here,
something like that,
so it's just going to be easier to work with,
and I even get those alignment capabilities like that, okay?
So now I can kind of take a look at these
and start to make some additional decisions
based on this content,
because I'm noticing right down here for Maroon Bells,
that this text is just too long.
This element needs to be either smaller
or I need to adjust the spacing between the letters,
but they're all controlled by this element right over here.
Book 94 point, 'kay?
So I can right click and select edit.
From here, instead of giving this such spacing
in between the letters,
I can change that to 200.
As I change it to 200, I can see it change right here.
So I still need to fit in that S,
selecting edit again.
In this case, let's just take this down a touch to about 90.
Take a look at that,
and another quick edit as I move that down.
Let's change this to about 150
and 80 point, all right.
So that looks much better.
I can even control the opacity.
Maybe I want to adjust that accordingly.
And that's probably what I do.
I actually do want to take that down a little bit
because I already would have selected this item,
so it's more as a graphical element
to know what page we're on,
so I'll take that down to about 50%.
Another thing I'm noticing when it comes to opacity
are these photos.
Well, these photos are actually all about 60%, too.
So I probably need to take those up a little bit, as well.
And this gets a little lost,
but again, you have it over here.
I think we'll be okay as I select each one of these
and notice how I can adjust them.
I could just as easily also make this a symbol if I want to,
but since there's only eight elements,
I'm not really going to worry about it at this point.
But you could see, as I change it for all of these,
really starts to look good,
and my goal is to really make this look good
for the content at hand.
You can see everything looks good.
In fact, even for all of this text here,
nothing really goes quite to the bottom.
There's some breathing room,
there's almost too much space here,
but I even have some room to play with that text.
So I can always go to edit,
change this to 26 and watch it change.
Sure enough, you can see it change.
I can even change the letting, if you will.
Take that up to 40.
We can space that out.
This gives me a nice, expansive, like spacious look,
and that's what I want for all of these pages.
But now that've all these pages,
remember, they're all linked to my assets,
so I can close that panel.
Command zero, control zero
to kind of put everything within view.
And my next goal, and really the fun part
is linking all these screens together
and start prototyping them.
