Hey designers! This is a longer more in-depth tutorial. Dive right to the how-to sections: Page setup: 00:57 | First 2 pages design: 8:29 | Third page design: 19:11 | Ad design: 27:30
You're an absolute star, this had helped me so much. They way you do things is how I would also do them. I'm learning so much from this, thank you very much for sharing
lots of appreciations this going to make my professional amazing as a journalist who is also a graphic design to a higher level.Then l still need your help in how to handle text when we have a feature article.
You are a life saver. I am doing the school Magazine and have never used InDesign before. I've used Photoshop and Publisher which is helpful. I was feeling very overwhelmed and wondering how I was going to do this when i didn't really know where to start. You have given me confidence to go and do it now. Thanks so much
Thanks Judy! InDesign is so much easier in the long run for publications over Photoshop and Publisher. You have a lot more flexibility and you can easily pull graphics from Photoshop into InDesign.
Thanks for the tutorial. This was my first look at InDesign, and was pretty easy to follow. I was happy with my final design spread. I do have a lot of experience in other Adobe CC products, but I imagine this would be tricky to follow for a first Adobe CC project of any kind. It would be useful if you used software like Spot the Mouse (Windows) or similar so we can see the keyboard shortcuts as you use them. These notes might prove useful to someone. In 2019 the layout can be sufficiently matched to this vid in Window>Workspace>Essentials Classic Swatches is under Window>Color>Swatches 6.42 Preview key is w 7.13 Hold Shift to keep new block aligned with old. 7.25 Shift + Cursor Arrow to jump the page number across Working with colors is very different from PS, so still have lots to learn!
Nikki, Thank you so much for this. I am an Independent Lifestyle Photographer and Magazine and I Love, love, love your tutorial. It made things a lot easier and quicker for me to get through "Idea Block", LOL I can take it from here. Will definately be watching more of your videos. I'm a lifetime subscriber now.
Wow! This is so amazing! I have always wanted to start a magazine, but had no idea how to create it. In one 37-minute clip, you have made it so easy. I have learned so much, and going forward, I must work on and complete my magazine! God bless you as you help more people!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. This is one of the few inDesign tutorials where someone actually walks you through the process with voice instructions. Again, thank you very much for making this tutorial. I have definitely learned a great deal from this tutorial and have subscribed to your channel for future videos!
Hi, I have been watching your indesign tutorials since 2016. I have learn lots of thing from your tutorial. I am really grateful to you. At you are the master of Adobe Indesign.
Your tutorial has answered all my unanswered questions as a noob of InDesign in 37 minutes. Thank you so much! I had been faffing around for a few days beforehand and now I am flying thanks to you :) Subbed.
Im an absolute beginner and I found this video the most valuable. So practical and cut to the chase video. Also, love your speaking voice!! HUGE THANKS:)
This is great for newbies - just want to pick a nit - when placing your "Awesome Product" text, it seems that you would want to factor in the bleed. In other words, drag text box from the left TRIM edge to the right if the box, rather than from the bleed edge to the right of the orange box. Otherwise, you will wind up with unequal spacing around the text.
The 8.2677 x 11.6929 size is just an A4 (210x297 mm). Pick that from the preset, the units should stay as inches if you have that set. Or enter 210mm and 297mm into the width and height fields, InDesign will conver it automatically.
Thanks for the video. could you please tell me how to duplicate a page along with its full content? if i do that i miss all the content and design from the page to the duplicated one.
Tip for placing first and last pages side by side - Select the 2nd page, then hold down 'shift' and select the last page, so all pages but the first are selected. Next, click on the dropdown in the top right of the pages panel and uncheck, 'Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle'. Deselect the pages. Now you can select the first page and drag it down and place it right next to the last page... This way you won't have an individual page loitering with intent at the top! Cheers...
Terrific tutorial... I'm familiar with InDesign - but it has been some time since I used it. You were able to capture this video in a simple and understanding way. Very much appreciated!
Not really a flaw. Since I was only designing 3 pages I added the extra page so the spreads show up visually together like they would if you designed a full magazine. The step was for the tutorial only.
Your tutorials are amazing, you're explaining things very well while it's easy to follow through. Also, you've got a nice and engaging voice to listen to :) Subscribed!
Hey i need some help, i'm designing a magazine with a lot of cutted people photos, but i'm not sure about my workflow, should i make the cut out on PS and save it as a png and then export it to ID or should i directly export the images from PS to ID, the final magazine will be printed so i'm kind of worried about the color also
How does a spread like this project translate into print. I'm working on a stapled brochure that is 6 pages plus a front and back cover but I don't want to start designing it until I know how each page is oriented for print. I'm trying to avoid any kind of back-tracking if I design it wrong.
Hi! First of all, this looks great! I'm taking a digital foundations class, as part of my major, and one of our projects is to create a three-page magazine article. I'm confused with what to do with the first page that sits by itself. Would the heading go there, or on the two facing pages?
Select the 2nd page, then hold down 'shift' and select the last page, so all pages but the first are selected. Next, click on the dropdown in the top right of the pages panel and uncheck, 'Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle'. Deselect the pages. Now you can select the first page and drag it down and place it right next to the last page... This way you won't have an individual page loitering with intent at the top! - Tip came from a wonderful viewer! You can also ignore the first page and save out pages 2-4 in your PDF. Depends how you need to present your final design for the class.
I didn’t use a magazine mock-up for this tutorial. I quickly created something in Photoshop to show the final spread but it doesn’t exist in a full magazine format. There are great magazine mock-up templates online though.
During the entire quarantine period, I learned how to write soft at soft soft. TNice tutorials is not to say that self-isolation is a pleasant tNice tutorialng,
Thanks so much for this video! it is great! you are great! I'm so new at this it sucks :( i'm having issues adding spaces between paragraphs! i see you just add them with the enter, I assume?. But, when I try to do it the rest of the text just disappears!! so annoying :(
Is it possible to create a text flow on multiple templates ? I have a WIP article (not finished, so it will get longer and spread over more pages) which I would like to be spread on , let’s say, a 2 text columns template A, and a 1text-1 image columns template B, in any order (I.e AABABAAABABB
Hi Paty, your images on default look blurry so that the program can handle the workload. When you export it or print it will be at its original resolution. To view this on Indesign, right click on your image and scroll down to display performance > choose high quality performance. Hope this helps!
How do I set up my document to "LAYOUT DEFAULT" like you have in tour video? When I open my paragraph pallete it doesn't look like what is shown in your video. Please help. Thanks _kq
Hi Kevin. This is a custom workspace that I arranged and then saved. You can see my custom workspaces in this video: ua-cam.com/video/yuJuKCo4i34/v-deo.html
I have a question with respect to templates, within indesign, how do I delete already created headers like catalog title or issue and date numbers. I want to delete or modify these. which way do I go about this please guide me.
I would first look to see if the headers/footer info is in a master page. This is an area that you can design and apply to more than one page. You can access your master pages by going to the Pages panel (usually on the far right) and scrolling to the very top of that panel. From here you can see what is on your master page and identify if it's your header and footer content that you wish to delete or modify.
It's not accessed via a menu drop down unless you don't have your Pages panel open. That is accessed under Window->Pages and the Master Pages is at the top of that. Double-click them and you will bring them into view in order to edit what's on them. You might also want to check your layers panel to see what content is on what layer. I don't use layers often, but some templates use them.
Design Like a Pro thankyou yes you did mention pages in your tutorial. The A master page where you selected ‘none’ for discontinued numbering, when ad pages were the focus.
I feel ya. I've tried Ableton, Reaper, even shelled out for Cubase and I am no closer to understanding any of tNice tutorials than I was before. I don't

InDesign is the best program of the Adobe programs, hands down! Thanks for the tutorial.

In 2019 the layout can be sufficiently matched to this vid in Window>Workspace>Essentials Classic
Swatches is under Window>Color>Swatches
6.42 Preview key is w
7.13 Hold Shift to keep new block aligned with old.
7.25 Shift + Cursor Arrow to jump the page number across
Working with colors is very different from PS, so still have lots to learn!

I really like how simple and effective you have made this - this as helped me solo much you don't even know - thank you
You made this look so easy!!!!!! ... As a newbie .... I appreciate this ... gonna use this concept for a school newsletter
Your tutorial has answered all my unanswered questions as a noob of InDesign in 37 minutes. Thank you so much! I had been faffing around for a few days beforehand and now I am flying thanks to you :) Subbed.
Just discovered you. It's great. Clean, clear, and I can understand you. Half the time other tutorials have muffled sound.
Thanks! Glad this helped you. :)
Im an absolute beginner and I found this video the most valuable. So practical and cut to the chase video. Also, love your speaking voice!! HUGE THANKS:)
... what about those people who thumb down? shame on them. the lesson it is so helpful, Keep good going Sis,, & May our God bless you

Thanks for the inspiration - I needed help "styling" my design. Your skills will really help me.

I'm designing a magazine and you are a great help! Please keep making more indesign videos.
Thank you Hazel! I run a creative agency by day so it's hard to find the time, but I do plan on rolling out more videos.
could you do a demo with flowing text and anchoring images like the design for book. thanks
I love the narrative explanation you offer here. its so pleasant and easy to follow and I will always refer to this video henceforth
Terrific tutorial... I'm familiar with InDesign - but it has been some time since I used it. You were able to capture this video in a simple and understanding way. Very much appreciated!
Thank you! This helped me a lot for my uni assignment.
Thanks for the tutorial. Is it a flaw in Indesign that one has to at that first page which you won't be using?
Not really a flaw. Since I was only designing 3 pages I added the extra page so the spreads show up visually together like they would if you designed a full magazine. The step was for the tutorial only.
@@designlikeapro so how do you go about having only spread in a document with all the pages as side by side pairs?
Your tutorials are amazing, you're explaining things very well while it's easy to follow through. Also, you've got a nice and engaging voice to listen to :) Subscribed!
MrMagJon Thank you and welcome! Hope to release more vids soon.
I am first to InDesign. Your tutorial really helped me. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped you too! :)
make my first ever drum loop. I'm not and expert at soft yet but I have learnt a lot at producing and looking back at my journey, I just
hello, wanted to know how do I go about printing the magazine out ?
Hey i need some help, i'm designing a magazine with a lot of cutted people photos, but i'm not sure about my workflow, should i make the cut out on PS and save it as a png and then export it to ID or should i directly export the images from PS to ID, the final magazine will be printed so i'm kind of worried about the color also
This was awesome tutorial, thanks. Your voice is good and tempo is enough slow-fast. Great job! I started to follow you.
Thanks for watching and the follow :)

Great job. I really liked the thought process you shared to get to the end product. Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial.. Where did you get the magazine mock ?.. Id like to see what the final product would like in a real magazine. Thanks
I didn’t use a magazine mock-up for this tutorial. I quickly created something in Photoshop to show the final spread but it doesn’t exist in a full magazine format. There are great magazine mock-up templates online though.
Do you have a link on how to export the magazine cover and body into a PDF
Hello and thank you for this content. I really liked the images. Do you have any recommendations of good sites for images?
I get most of my images from Adobe Stock with my CC subscription. I also subscribed to Death by Stock photo that sends images each month.
I loved this tutorial. It was so helpful. So glad I found this!
I am a brand new fan of Yours! When you put the orange stroke on the image How did you know the cmyk color numbers for orange on the fly?!!!
experience
I use orange a lot in my designs but more than likely I made this design before filming and had it written down. ;)
During the entire quarantine period, I learned how to write soft at soft soft. TNice tutorials is not to say that self-isolation is a pleasant tNice tutorialng,
Thanks so much for this video! it is great! you are great! I'm so new at this it sucks :( i'm having issues adding spaces between paragraphs! i see you just add them with the enter, I assume?. But, when I try to do it the rest of the text just disappears!! so annoying :(
Use the main Enter key to the left of the numpad instead of the one on the far right corner of your keyboard.
Do you have tutorials on how to do a half-page advertisement in Adobe Indesign. If so could you send me the link to your video.
Its fun watching your videos. Stuff on GIMP by any chance?
Hey, I'm just starting to get into making soft and tNice tutorials 17 minute video helped a LOT MORE than those one hour long tutorials out
best tutorial ever
Thank you so much this video helped me a lot
from India
Did you provide the image files that we can use to follow along? I don't see them
The image files are under copyright so I'm not able to include them in a download unfortunately.
My image comes out a bit huge and i try fitting image proportionally but nothing happens so what do i do?
Is it possible to create a text flow on multiple templates ? I have a WIP article (not finished, so it will get longer and spread over more pages) which I would like to be spread on , let’s say, a 2 text columns template A, and a 1text-1 image columns template B, in any order (I.e AABABAAABABB

Hi mam! Can u plzzz make a tutorial for who can we convert magzine papers or brochures etc in to 3d
Is there a way to do it on Microsoft Paint??
QUESTION: my images for some reason look blurry is there a specific format I need to save my images in? thank you!!
Hi Paty, your images on default look blurry so that the program can handle the workload. When you export it or print it will be at its original resolution. To view this on Indesign, right click on your image and scroll down to display performance > choose high quality performance. Hope this helps!
where you get the photo stock?
Can you use it to resetup s?
Wow... you're so good at this. Thanks!
the best tutorial.
