Tips for Success
1. Get your writing done first! For many of you, this is the hardest part. I suggest you type your writing in Microsoft Word first... Do a spelling and grammar check and then copy it and paste it into the InDesign® document. Then check it again and again. I will count off for grammar and spelling that is blatantly wrong. DO NOT USE text language.
2. When checking your writing, read it aloud to yourself. Does it make sense? Don't be afraid to have your English teacher or friends who are really good at writing look it over for errors.
3. If you did work and have lost it, I have most of your work (if you turned it in). Please be reminded that I did tell you to save all of your work, as you would need it at the end of the year. I am happy to send it to you via Synchroneyes® or you may bring your flash drive to me and I will copy it over for you.
4. If you did not do an assignment for whatever reason, get everything else done and then concentrate on creating the item you did not do in the first place.
5. If you are starting early, take some time to familiarize yourself with InDesign®. I have tutorials listed below.
Resources
1. The Adobe Video Workshop is a great way to find out information about basics that have been added with each new version of the Creative Suite that Adobe produces (in our case, CS3). Visit the link here, and watch as many tutorials as apply to the basics as you can. You will have to do this at home for extra help seeing as we have no sound enabled on your computers.
2. This link brings you to a great collection of walk through tutorials set up to walk you through getting to know the basics of InDesign.
