Wow I did not know you could do color theme or use the layers from a psd file. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks Gabby! Yes, so much InDesign can do. 🙂

Buen vídeo, Angelo. Excelente 👌👌

[@mbarnett865]

Thanks. Why did you feel the need to put your headline, subhead, and body copy in three separate text boxes? They could (should?) all be in one text box.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks for the great question! It's all personal preference and 9/10 I will put the main title and subhead in the same text frame. But because I had the flowing jacket spilling onto the next page, I wanted to keep them separated this time. However, I never put the body copy in the same frame as the header.

[@alexchmel]

You don't have to select the entire paragraph to create a new paragraph style, you just need to insert the cursor anywhere in the paragraph. Furthermore, if you select the entire paragraph and it contains conflicting settings, none of them will be included in the style, and the style will be incomplete.

[@newsmancomputer1242]

Excelent Boss.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thank you!

14:40 when you go the Object Layer Options of the model with the jacket image and it shows two layers cutout and background, did you actually cut out the figure out of the background as two layers in Photoshop or would Indesign help cut that out for you?

[@AngeloMontilla]

Hopefully one day InDesign has an option to remove backgrounds. But yes, you'd have to remove it in Photoshop and save the file as a PSD. Great question.

[@alexchmel]

Why do you need to set nested styles if there is a "Character Style" field in Drop Caps section?

[@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.

[@ethan_li]

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?

[@jamesoldman3021]

Just subscribed and clicked to be notified. You said you are working on a A4 size but everything is set in inches. You may call me weird but I am a Canadian that totally switched to metric. My question is why don't you use mm? I might be 84 so was not a young kid when Canada switched yet I prefer to watch instructional videos that are metric. Just so much easier to work with. I know there is a lot of people out there like myself unfortunately being in Canada to get KZbin to provide info other than from the U.S.A. is very difficult. Anyway your video's would mean a lot more to be in metric. Where do you publish?

[@AngeloMontilla]

Hi James. I've always used inches for print, because that's what we were taught us in design school and what's used primarily in the industry. I am Canadian too, but just have been more comfortable working in inches for print, and pixels for web.

[@jamesoldman3021]

@@AngeloMontilla Mine is more a hobby after retiring and in the mapping sector all maps have been metric since the 70's. Guess I'm lucky having a printer that has no problem with Metric. Also doing a lot of my work for Non Profits I find they want posters and being able to switch easily between A2 - A3 - A4 and sometimes A5 & A6 is a great advantage. Pamphlets, newsletters and small books think the printer is an immigrant as he does seem comfortable working in metric.

[@conniefisaacs]

You just keep getting better and better. Thank you!🎉

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks Connie!

[@muchlovebymel]

This was so helpful. Thank you!! I've been using Canva for so many things but really needing Adobe InDesign for a specific project or two (and to make life soooo much easier once templates have been made).

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks for the kind words! I am happy to hear it helped you! 🙂

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.

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