How did you do the mockup view in the thumbnail so the pages dont look flat - like the shadows and highlight near the gutter of the spreads

[@AngeloMontilla]

I use Photoshop to do those. Have you worked with mockups before?

[@ethan_li]

@@AngeloMontilla No I haven’t used mockups before - How could I achieve this effect, is it just a premade overlay?

[@rosycspencer]

Do you have typesetting tutorials in InDesign?

[@AngeloMontilla]

I don't have anything specific. Please share what you'd like to learn about Typesetting and I will include it in future tutorials.

[@rosycspencer]

@@AngeloMontilla It will be great to have a tutorial that shows us a consistent setting or formula to avoid, widows, orphans, whiskers, and repeat words at the end of consecutive lines.

I noticed that you said "collapse" the panel when you were actually opening the panel. This happened twice in this tutorial.
