00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,120
Hi there! In today's tutorial we're going to learn  

2
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,400
how to make a book layout in Adobe 
InDesign, so let's get started.

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,000
I'm going to click on 'create 
new' here to make a new document.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Now I'm going to explain every setting here, 
as you need to know their functionality,  

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,960
particularly when you're creating a book layout, 
so first of all, let's change the units to inches.

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,560
You have other options as well, to choose 
from, but when it comes to book design,  

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,400
the two most common units used 
are 'inches' and 'millimeters.'

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Now at this point the orientation is set to 
landscape, but then it all depends upon the  

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:55,440
dimensions I set here, so for example, my book 
is going to be 6 inches wide, and 9 inches tall,  

10
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,080
and the moment I set it, you will find that the 
orientation automatically changes to portrait,  

11
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,800
because the height is more than the 
width, so obviously it has to be portrait.

12
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,720
'Facing pages', refers to whether or not  

13
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,160
you'd like your document to be 
presented as a two-page spread.

14
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,000
For this tutorial, we'll do so, however,  

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,760
this option can also be changed 
after you've created your document.

16
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,880
In the pages section we are at liberty to enter 
the number of pages here, but usually while  

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,760
composing a book, we're not aware of the number 
of pages, so for now, let's keep it two pages.

18
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:42,640
We can very easily add more pages later 
in the document. We'll use primary text  

19
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,120
frames to help make our text flow from page 
to page, so make sure this is toggled on. 

20
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,600
If you forget to do it while creating your 
document, you can always add this later, as well.

21
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,440
Start number is particularly used when you 
divide your book into multiple chapters,  

22
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,840
so for example, your book has a lot of images and 
text, and to avoid having a big-sized document,  

23
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:13,040
you'd rather divide your book into sets 
of three chapters, or four chapters,  

24
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:19,120
so that the document size does not really make 
your computer processing slow, and when you're  

25
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,360
doing that, you'd know from which page your 
next chapter in the next document should start,  

26
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,120
and that page number would come here, and when 
you add automatic insertion of page numbers in  

27
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,520
your new document, it will then not start from 
page one, but the page number you assign here.

28
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,360
Alright, so column gutter is the space 
between two columns in the document,  

29
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,840
and I'd like my document to have two 
columns, so let's change it to two here.

30
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,520
Margins of the borders are 
the space around your page,  

31
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,640
because your text will never 
start from the edge of the page,  

32
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,840
because it would look ugly, so there has to 
be some margin specified by you beforehand.

33
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,880
At the moment the margins are linked, so when you 
change one, all four will follow, but if you want  

34
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,200
to update the margin of any one here, or even more 
than one, click on the link icon to unlink it,  

35
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:22,400
and now you can set individual margins of all four 
sides, and this goes for bleed and slug, as well.

36
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,040
Now bleed, as ominous as it sounds, refers to 
the area of your work that will be trimmed off,  

37
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,360
for example let's say, you have a layout where you 
want a full page image, with no visible margin,  

38
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,040
you'll need to extend the work into the 
bleed area, so when the work is trimmed,  

39
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,960
things will look as intended.

40
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,360
We'll use bleed in the document at a later 
stage, so let's keep it zero for now.

41
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:54,080
The slug area is just one of these optional 
page marks. Essentially the area is located  

42
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,080
outside of the normal printing boundaries, and 
it contains information about the printing job,  

43
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,600
so when a document goes to the printing press, 
there are a few technical marks printed outside  

44
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,320
of the document area, and these are 
important for high quality printing.

45
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,040
We don't really need any slug for this 
document, so let it stay zero, and hit create.

46
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:21,360
So our document has two columns like we've set, 
and let me show you from where you can make  

47
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,440
changes to your document, so let's 
go to file, and then document setup.

48
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,760
Here you'll find the settings that were 
there in the 'create a new document' panel,  

49
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,800
so after your document is created, 
if you want to make changes  

50
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760
to the document layout, this is 
the place you need to come to.

51
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,640
On the right, you'll find the pages panel. If you 
don't see it there, you can always go to window,  

52
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:56,240
and then pages. The shortcut to show it is 
Command F12 on a Mac, or Ctrl F12 on a PC.

53
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,720
This is a very important panel when you 
are creating your book layout particularly,  

54
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,800
as a lot of work will happen here.

55
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,760
At the very top of the pages 
panel, we have our master pages.

56
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,920
You will likely see 'none' 
and 'A master' the defaults,  

57
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,080
so what are master pages 
and why are they so useful?

58
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,920
Think of it as your book format template, 
so master page, or pages won't print.  

59
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:29,360
Instead, InDesign will use the master pages as 
a set of rules to apply to your active pages.

60
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:36,480
You don't necessarily have to use master pages. 
By default, all your pages have A master applied  

61
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,400
to them, but if you don't want one to apply to 
a particular page, you can always choose 'none.'

62
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Let's start out by editing A master, so 
double-click on A master to start editing it.

63
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,760
If you want to double check ,if you're inside the 
A master, and not one of your active pages, you  

64
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,440
can check the bottom of the screen. This drop-down 
tells you which page you're currently viewing.

65
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,240
Using the current selection tool, 
when you click on the master pages,  

66
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,400
you'll find they already have 
the primary text frame applied,  

67
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,880
because we checked the primary text frame 
box when we created the document, remember!

68
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,000
The primary text frame option in InDesign 
automatically creates one text frame  

69
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,960
on each page, sized to match the margins.

70
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440
You can always drag in to shorten 
the text frame, should you want it.

71
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Now let's add page numbers to our 
document. Adding page numbers is  

72
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,040
not like we add page numbers on MS Word, 
it's slightly different, but very simple.

73
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,320
Let's grab the text tool, and make a 
text box in here, and then go to type,  

74
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:51,040
and then insert special character, and 
then markers, and then current page number.

75
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,840
The moment you do that, you'll 
find the letter A assigned to it,  

76
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,240
and if your master has two pages, you'll have to 
make the text box, and assign page numbers on both  

77
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:09,120
pages, so at this point, let me also tell you that 
you'll not always need two pages in the master,  

78
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:16,080
but for book making mostly two pages are used for 
more refined setting, so let's make another text  

79
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:22,640
box on the right page of the A master, and then 
go to type, and then insert special character,  

80
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,440
and then markers, and then current page number.

81
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,280
Now let's go to our document page, and you 
shall find the page numbers populating there,  

82
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,720
so when we add another page, 
using the create new page button,  

83
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,160
a third page will be added, 
along with the page number.

84
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,960
Actually, let's right-align the page number in 
the master. Oh oh... the toolbar above is not  

85
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:56,240
appearing, so let's go to window, and then 
workspace, and click on essential classic,  

86
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,120
and now you'll find a new toolbar above, so with 
the cursor still in the page number section,  

87
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,520
just click on the right alignment here, 
and your page number will be right-aligned.

88
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Let's go to the document to check the alignment 
of our pages. Perfect! Let me increase the margin  

89
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,120
we have set, so you can learn how to realign 
the primary text frame to the new margins,  

90
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:31,760
so let's go to file, and then document setup, and 
increase the margin to 0.5 inch, and hit okay.

91
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,799
Now click on the primary text frame, and using 
the corners, resize the frame as per the margins  

92
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:45,360
for both the pages, and let's also bring the page 
number text boxes a little closer to the margins.

93
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,160
Now let's go to the document, to find 
the changes reflecting on every page.

94
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,800
At this point, let's add another master, so to 
do that, let's right-click on our A master here,  

95
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:04,480
and go to new master. By default it becomes the 
B master, and let's base it on A master for now.  

96
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,680
By basing it on A master, all 
the settings of A master shall be  

97
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,600
copied to the B master, something we can 
further customize, so let's hit okay.

98
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Now you can see the two B master pages have 
the letter A sitting on them, signifying  

99
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,800
that A master settings have been applied to 
them. Let's change the B master a little.

100
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,280
We don't want any text on the first page here, so 
let's click to select the primary text frame on  

101
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:41,280
page one of B master, and hit delete. And let's 
go to the second B master page, and let's say  

102
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:47,520
that I want my text frame to be shorter here, 
so let's drag the frame to make it shorter.

103
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,240
I've made it shorter, because I want to add a 
heading to this, so let's grab the text tool,  

104
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,120
and make a text box, and type in 'chapter one.'

105
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,160
I'm going to change the font to 'Times 
New Roman', and size to 24 points,  

106
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,360
and also center-align my heading.

107
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Let me remind you that we're making these changes 
to the B master, and not to the document pages  

108
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,000
yet, so now we need text to be added to 
our document, so let me take you to a site  

109
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,080
lipsum.com, so it is lipsum.com.

110
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:35,840
Here you can generate text, and you can also 
specify the number of paragraphs, or words, or  

111
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:43,360
bytes, or lists you want, and it will generate 
it for you, so let's say we want 200 paragraphs,  

112
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:50,400
and click on generate lorem ipsum, and you'll 
find 200 paragraphs generated in a flash,  

113
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:58,320
so select them using the mouse, and hit Command 
C on a Mac, or Ctrl C on a PC, to copy the text,  

114
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,880
and then get back to InDesign, and this time 
we're not going to paste the text to the masters.

115
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:12,160
We'll come to the first page, grab the text tool, 
and click once on the top of our text column,  

116
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:19,200
and then right-click, and select paste, and 
you'll find how InDesign generates the pages  

117
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:25,280
automatically for us, and the text is smoothly 
flowing, because of the primary text frame,  

118
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,280
and like I mentioned earlier, by default all 
of the pages have A master applied to them,  

119
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,000
so let's say our chapter one starts from page 
one here, so what we can do is, we can go to  

120
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,920
the thumbnail of page one, and right-click, and 
then select apply master to pages, and from the  

121
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:53,440
pop-up we can choose which master to apply to the 
pages, or we can simply click on the B master.  

122
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:02,400
Hold and drag it to the thumbnail of page one, 
and voila! B master is applied to the first page,  

123
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,480
along with the settings of the B 
master, so you see it's that simple.

124
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,240
Let's click the thumbnail of page 15, 
and then add our B master here as well,  

125
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:21,440
because we want chapter 2 to start from page 15, 
so double-click on page 15 to show it on screen,  

126
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:28,720
and you'll find that the heading shows chapter one 
here, it's because whatever was there in B master,  

127
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,720
you just copied here, but the problem is that we 
want to change it to chapter two, and not chapter  

128
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:41,440
one, and when you click on it to make the changes, 
it just wouldn't select the text, because it has  

129
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:47,840
been copied from the master, so to override 
the master settings, we need to hold Shift  

130
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:55,360
and Command on a Mac, or Shift and Ctrl on a PC, 
and then click on it, and it will get selected,  

131
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,240
and then you can make the necessary 
changes, so let's change it to chapter two.

132
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,560
Now let's say, we want an image to be added to 
one of the pages, so let's add an image to page 24  

133
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:14,320
here. I'm going to grab the rectangle frame tool, 
and make a rectangle on top of the text here,  

134
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,840
from margin to margin, since the image 
is towards the inside of the page.

135
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,080
Now let's go to file, and then place, 
and locate the image on the computer.  

136
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,880
Now you see the image has been perfectly placed 
here, but there is text behind the image,  

137
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,920
so we need to fix that, so let's 
go to window, and then text wrap.  

138
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Now here you have a few options to choose 
from, depending upon the requirement.

139
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,440
At this point, when I hover 
my cursor to this icon here,  

140
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,280
it says no text wrap, and 
that's the current setting.

141
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,920
The option on the right says 
'wrap around bounding box',  

142
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,600
so let's click on that, and now the text has 
jumped the image, and as you move your image,  

143
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,560
along with the bounding box, which is 
the frame here, the text wraps itself.

144
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,320
Here you can try other text wrapping options 
as well, and if you look closely to the icons,  

145
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,920
they are self-explanatory, and you 
should be able to understand the  

146
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,200
situations where you'll need to 
use them just by looking at them.

147
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,120
Also, you have the padding option for 
extra spaces from the bounding box,  

148
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,920
and much like I demonstrated earlier with the 
margins, this one also has the link option  

149
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:36,080
that you can click to unlink, and just choose one 
side, or more individually to update the padding.

150
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,360
We can even increase the bounding box to 
cover both the columns, so you see when I  

151
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,800
expanded the bounding box, the image stayed 
in its previous size, so to make it behave,  

152
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:53,680
we need to right-click on the frame, and go 
to fitting, and then hit fit content to frame.

153
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,000
The content here is our image, 
and the frame is the bounding  

154
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,640
box. Actually this is the perfect time 
to introduce bleed, so let's go to file,  

155
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:12,400
and then document setup, and set 
the bleed to 0.125, and hit okay,  

156
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,360
and you shall see a red border all around, so if 
you have images printed, and extended to the edges  

157
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,120
of the pages, it's always best to have the images 
stretched to the bleed, so that when the printer  

158
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:31,360
chops off the edges, it gives you a clean print, 
without any untidy white lines around the corners,  

159
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,680
so let's move our image to the bleed, and 
stretch it all the way to the center of the page.

160
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Next, I'm going to talk about the paragraph 
styles. Paragraph styles are nothing,  

161
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,560
but templates of settings that can be 
applied to the text of your choice,  

162
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:53,440
so the best way to do it is to first apply the 
settings to your text, and then style them.  

163
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,960
For example we have this chapter 2 text, 
which is our heading, so let's select it,  

164
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,200
and let's go to window, and then 
styles, and paragraph styles.

165
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:12,320
In the pop-up, click the small plus button to 
create a new style, and rename it 'heading.'

166
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Now double-click on the small area left to 
the word heading, to open the settings panel.

167
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:26,000
We already know that our heading had 'Times New 
Roman', as the font, and the font size was set to  

168
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,000
24 points, however, we can always top 
it up with other settings from here,  

169
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,600
so let's go to basic character formats 
tab, and change the font to 'Futura.'

170
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,280
Let's also check the underline box, and hit okay,  

171
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,440
and you'll find the settings 
being applied to our heading.

172
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,600
Now this 'heading' paragraph style 
has become more like a template  

173
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,560
that we can apply to any text we want. 
All we need to do is select the text,  

174
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,080
and then click on the heading paragraph 
style, and mission accomplished!

175
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,840
Similarly, let's select the text of our 
document, and make another paragraph style,  

176
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,839
and double-click on the 
style, and rename it 'text.'

177
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,359
Here I'm going to change the font to 'Arial',  

178
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,240
and hit okay, and you'll see that the 
highlighted text changed to 'Arial.'

179
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:24,400
To select the entire text, hit Command A 
on a Mac, or Ctrl A on a PC, to select all,  

180
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:30,240
and then just click the 'text' paragraph style 
once, and the style shall be applied instantly.

181
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,080
Similarly, let's select chapter one heading, 
and click on the 'heading' paragraph style,  

182
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,080
and there you go, the style has changed 
to the paragraph style settings.

183
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Now let me show you how the book option 
works with InDesign, so a lot of times  

184
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,000
if your content is too heavy, and loaded with 
images, and your book has too many pages, it  

185
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,200
is always best practice to divide your book into 
chapters, and then combine them to make a book,  

186
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,000
so for example, let's go to file, 
and then new, and then document.

187
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,080
Here I'm going to choose inches 
as the units, and hit create,  

188
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,320
because the rest of the settings are pretty 
much the same, as our existing document.

189
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:19,200
Now close this document, and save it with 
the name chapter 3 to 4, and hit save.

190
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,760
Let's also close our existing document, 
and locate it on your computer,  

191
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,680
and change its name to chapter 1 to 2, and 
then create another document much like earlier,  

192
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:40,240
and hit create, and close it, and 
save it with the name chapter 5 to 6,  

193
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:46,000
so now we have divided our book into 
three individual pieces, or documents.

194
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:54,080
Now I'm gonna go to file, and then new, and this 
time I'm gonna select book, and in the pop-up,  

195
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,200
I'm going to save my book as 'the odyssey.' 
Suppose that's the name of my book,  

196
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,880
and then hit save, and it 
brings me to this screen.

197
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,400
You see this small panel with the title 
of our book, and there is a small plus  

198
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,680
button at the bottom of the panel, just 
click on it, and then in the pop-up,  

199
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,360
click to select all three different 
documents, or pieces of the book.  

200
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:23,200
You'll have to hold Command on a Mac, or 
Ctrl on a PC, to make the selection here,  

201
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:29,920
and then hit open. And there you go, this is 
our book, open with three different documents  

202
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:36,160
that are basically different chapters of our 
book, so I can easily click on each document,  

203
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,040
and make changes as per the requirement, 
and it will all be saved within the book.

204
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:47,440
Doing this will not only solve my problem of 
a slow computer, but I will also be able to  

205
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,600
manage my documents with much ease. When you go 
to the location where you've saved the documents,  

206
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:59,200
you'll find that the book is saved with 
the indb extension, whereas our documents  

207
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:05,840
are saved with indd extension. That's 
how you can differentiate between them.

208
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,760
Alright guys, that brings us 
to the close of the session,  

209
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,600
and it's time for a short break, 
so I'll see you in just a bit.

210
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Good bye!
