InDesign. GO!

Framey!

An initial, cursory, study of Adobe InDesign leads me to the following conclusions:

1. I want to make a printed book. I don’t know what EPUB extension means. Adobe Stock might be cool but its design-y not fine-arty. “Text styles” sounds a lot like “textiles”.
2. Facing pages is a useful layout option. For my book.
3. T key on the keyboard opens the type tool. Layout happens in “frames”. Escape key activates the selection tool. Drop image in at 100% or click and drag to specified size. Shift key to constrain proportions. Center circle = content grab. W key to see/not see frames.
4. Type! Type can be shifted and moved easily.
5. I am learning a new language. Character style = specific. Paragraph style = larger portion of text. Text style applies to character and paragraph. Named grid = apply to frame grid.
6. I learned that reading step-by-step instructions is not a good fit for my learning style (hands on!) and I’ll have to refer back to tutorials once I’ve found myself in need of the information to do a project.
