Creating a Clipping Path in Photoshop for ID

When working in Indesign, often you will want an image to be cut out from the original background. InDesign automatically places a solid white background around an objects edge, even when you have selected out the background in Photoshop. To elimanate the background you will need to create a clipping path in Photoshop.

Here is how you do that:

• Make your desired selection.
• Go to: Path Pallete/Library/Make a Working Path-tolerance (2px)
  
• Go to: Path Pallete/Library/Save/Name it.
• Go to: Path Pallete/Library/Choose Path/Flatness(2px)
• File/Saveas/Tiff or Jpeg.
  

When you place the image, Indesign should recognize the clipping path.

Note: Refer to help menu for more information on using this tool: Photoshop: Convert Selection to a Path

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTING A BOOKLET IN ID.

The pages that you view in InDesign will not print in a book form, unless you tell InDesign to create a booklet. Below are the instruction for printing your ID document:

Opening the Print Booklet Window

With the ID file open Go to: File/PrintBooklet

1) A window will appear giving you several options to adjust your final output:



2) For a standard half letter document that you plan to fold and staple or stitch, under Setup (Fig A) choose Style pop menu 2-up Saddle Stitch (Fig B). (See Indesign Help: Printing/Printing Booklets, for help with page configuration.)

3) Under Margins (Fig C) Choose a 0 inch margin if you want to have your design end at the edge of the trim section. (See InDesign Help for a detailed explanation of the Margins, Gap, Bleed…etc.)


Pre-viewing Spreads before printing
(A spread is all the pages that will print on one side of a piece of paper.)

a) To pre-view a spread, highlight Preview (FIG A). The preview window will appear.

b) Click the left and right arrow keys (FIG B) to scroll through the spreads. (The page number will appear and so will a sketch of the context of each page.



c) If the spreads are not properly aligned with the pages, then click PrintSettings (Fig C-above)

View and Adjusting the Print Settings

a) With the Print window open, highlight Set up (FIG A) and choose the correct Orientation (FIG B)



e) Under the print window you can make other adjustments, as well, to custom fit you booklet. (Remember it is usaully better to do this to the original document.)

f) When finished Click OK (This will bring you back to the PrintBooklet Window)

Printing your spreads

If you are printing on a printer, which will NOT let you print double sided, you will need to manually flip over each Spread and reinsert it into the printer.

a) Remove all, but one piece, of paper from the manual feed tray, on the left hand side of the printer.

b) From the PrintBooklet window click "Print". Page 1 and 8 will print on one side of the paper.

c)Flip and reverse the paper in the manual feed tray. 2 and 7 will print.

d) Repeat the process for all of your pages.

CONVERTING AN INDESIGN SPREAD TO A PDF

There are times when working on an Indesign project, that when you switch from one Mac computer to another that the second computer does not recognize the fonts. In past versions of the Mac, all you had to do was highlight and paste the font from your packaged folder into the fonts folder on the computer.

To the best of my knowledge this is no longer possible to do. In order to preserve the fonts you have chosen to work with, the best thing to do is create a PDF as postscript for print, saving the spreads as pages in your file.

Here is how you do that:

1. Go to File/Print Booklet
2. Under Set up: Check All
3. On left side of Window choose "Preview". Check to be sure your paper is aligned correctly. (If the it is misaligned then click the "Print Settings" button on the bottom of the window and then choose "Set up" on the left of the print window and change your orientation. click OK.)
4. Click "Print Settings" and Change "Print devices" to Postscript and choose your "Printer" then
5. Click Print (This will automatically save the document as a PDF. and will not print it.
6. Open your PDF and check to make sure the spreads were saved as pages.

INTRO TO INDESIGN

Creating an ID doc. for your zine
placing text, graphics and pre-packaging


Step 1 Create a new document
The first thing you will need to do before you can place graphics and text is to create a new document:
1) Open Indesign : (It is either on the Dock: or you can find it in the Applications folder in the Mac HD.)

2) Create a new Document go to File/New/Document N

(the new document window will appear)


Creating a Document for your Zine

b) Choose the Page Size to be Letter-Half (FIG. A)*
c) Choose the orientation to be vertical (FIG. B)
d) Check Facing Pages**
e) Choose columns number 1 and the Margins at 0.
f) Click OK

*Choosing the half letter size will automatically change the width and height to the appropriate setting for your zine. If you decide to use custom sizes for your zine you will need to adjust the width and height yourself.

Also Note: if the width and the height are in picas rather than inches you can change this setting by going to the menu bar: Indesign/Preferences/Units&Guides

**If you would like your zine to open from the bottom, instead of from the side you will uncheck facing pages. Unclick facing pages and with the document open, place and center a guide in the middle of the page horizontally. This is your horizontal bind. (Page numbering and sorting may be a little more tricky but I am confident you can figure it out.)

Once you have clicked ok, you have the option of changing your document settings again, by going to File/Document Setup and Layout/Margins


Step 2 Laying out your Project with Guides on a Master Page

Layout your Indesign project to reflect your hard-copy draft: For example: maybe your logo appears on all but one of the pages. Then creating a master page would be necessary. Or maybe all your text appears on the outer edge of the document then you would set up guides in the appropriate place. Lets say your zine is going to have a background color well that can be placed on the master page too. And of course you can also place graphic boxes for your images as well.

Here are a few tools to help you get started with your layout:

1) Select and Set up Master Pages
A master page is used when you have images and text repeating on assigned pages. Master A automatically is assigned to all the pages in a document.

(To create multiple master pages, (This is handy if your want to try out several different designs for your project. click the arrow in the top right corner of the page pallete (Fig A) and select new master.)



a. With the pages palette open, double click the " A master page" and hold down the shift key to click highlight both the left and the right page. (Notice at the bottom of the document window it will indicate which page you are on.)
b. Go to Layout/Margins and set up margins for .25 inches (this is for the printer's edge.)
c. Make sure your document ruler is open: (Fig A) View/Show Rulers
d) With the master pages highlighted pull down guides (FIG B) for where you want to place text and images. (Remember this is only useful if your images and text follows a certain repeated order.)
Your can also create guides on individual pages if they differ from one another.


Step 3 Filling in with a Background with your Wallpaper and Placing Images and Graphics (These steps can be done on a master page or on individual pages, depending on whether you want them to repeat or not.)

1) Filling in the background with a color
a. Choose the Rectangle Tool in the tool bar (FIG A) Click and drag the cursor to the area that you want covered
b. Fill in using the Color Picker. (FIG B)


2) Place your wallpaper, a graphic or images using the Rectangle Frame Tool
a. In the Tool bar, click the Rectangle Frame Tool (FIG C)
b. Position your cursor in the area of the document where you have set up guides for this graphic and Click/hold and drag the cursor.
c. Go to File/Place and find the graphic to place, click Open. (you may have to click the frame to view the image
d. In CS3 go up to the Control Panel and click Wrap Around Object , to select the object and then go to Object/Transform/Scale to fit in frame. In CS2 go up to the Control Panel and click “Fit Content to Frame” to adjust the size of the image to fit the frame. (see *** below)
e. If you placed this graphic in the master page, double click other pages to see how the graphic shows up in several places.
i. If you want to edit an image, from an individual page, which has been placed on a master page, hold down the Apple & Shift key and then double click the image to delete, move or change it on that page.
ii. If you want to move the position of an object Select it and click the Free Transform tool in the tool bar. (FIG D)



*If the image is hidden behind the background color, you go to Object/Arrange to bring to the front.

**Your can also set up layers placing them separately on their own layer.

***(For CS2 only) Other options in the control panel are Center Frame to Content
and Center Content

****Click View/DisplayPerformance/HighQuality Display for viewing an better looking view.


Step 4 Placing a text document and Scrolling the Text into your Layout

1) Go to File/Place
a. With the place window open and the document highlighted check and click open.
b. With the import options window open, you can choose whether or not you want to keep the original formatting or not, then click OK
c. A text symbol will show up next to your cursor. Now click and drag using your guides as a gauge to place the text.
d. If all of the text does not fit in the frame a red plus symbol will appear at the bottom of the frame. Click it and the text icon will appear again.



e. Go to the next section to place the remaining text and repeat until all of your text is placed.

Placing text in a text frame:

a) This is easier than the above method, Choose the text tool in the tool bar.
b)Click and drag the text cursor to the size and location you want.
c) Then copy and paste or type in the text.

Step 5 Pre-Packaging your document

It is very important that you pre-package your document if you are moving the file to a different computer where you originally placed the images. Unlike Illustrator, Indesign automatically creates links to your file. Without pre-packaging, you will be able to view a picture of the image, but it is poor (only a shadow of the actual image) and will not look good in print. You must PrePackage when you are sending the document to a professional printer, as well.

1) Package your file
a. go to File/Package
b. A printing instructions window will show up, type in name of file and click continue
c. The “Create a Package” window will show up, make sure to check copy links and fonts and Click Save.
d. In the Indesign folder you will find a folder for the links, for the fonts, the indd file and a text document for printing instruction when sending out to print. (Copy this folder to your thumbdrive and BRING THE FOLDER TO CLASS.)

DIGITAL TOOLS Laying out your pages in InDesign

You will be spending some time working on the general layout of you zine. You will also be placing your wallpaper, graphics and images on the appropriate pages. By the end of the class next week you will be printing out a draft in a booklet form. (It will be important that you have something placed or typed on each page.) This will give you an overall idea of what your zine is looking like in print.


Step 1 To complete this assignment, you will need to review the post: Intro to Indesign

• see Step 2: Laying out your project with guides on a master page. note: If you want to edit an image, from an individual page, which has been placed on a master page, hold down the Apple & Shift key and then double click the image to delete, move or change it on that page.
• see Step 4: Placing a text document and Scrolling the Text into your Layout

The Adobe Video Workshop has Indesign tutorials that will be useful for you:

• Setting up Master Pages
• Making Selections
• Working with Text

OK HERE IS YOUR ASSIGNEMENT:

Step 1 (Layout your pages in Indesign)

Create a general layout your pages using your hardcopy as a template- Remember you can use guides for setting up where you want to precisely place your text and graphics or you can just randomly place. Remember the master page with guides, as well as images and text will repeat on several pages.

• Place your images. (remember they need to be high res- 300 dpi images)
• Place your text both research and personal narrative (text can be taken and copied from your blog)
  
• PACKAGE your zine- package your zine so your images and fonts are located with your Indesign file, in a packaged folder.
• note: do not worry too much how things look on your pages, the idea is to simply get it generally mapped out. You will have time later to work on how it looks.
  

Step 2 CREATE YOUR COVER PAGE On page 1 of your document create a "finished cover page.

Once you have a general layout of your pages now go back and create a finish coverpage.

The cover page should include:

• Images and graphics of your subject and/0r ones that support your interest in your subject. (Remember to use Illustrator and Photoshop to manipulate your images before placing them in your Indesign doc., when appropriate)
• A background color or your wallpaper
  
• The use of your logo in a way the is integrated into the rest of the placed imagery.
• Text as a visual tool which doesn't neccesarily have to be literal. Though the text should give us clues to what your zine will be about.

• 
  
• Get Help creating your cover page.
  

• Read the post "Commands to Modify an Indesign Graphic" to help you create this page. (remember you can print this page out.)
  
• Also Review in the Adobe Video Workshop, under Indesign the tutorial on "Making Selections"

Step 4 Printing a second draft: simply go to File/Print and print each page individually on the black and white printer. This will give you a general idea how your pageis are looking.

note: notice that pages will not be in the right order to create a book, nor are the double sides. Do not worry about this I will show you next week how to do this.



DUE NEXT CLASS

Step 3:

• A rough layout of you pages with text, graphics and images.
• A finished cover page
  
• A printed second draft-print at the beginning of the class.
  

Posted to the Server: Your Indesign packaged folder: with font folder, ID file and image folder. (Do not give me an Indesign File that hasn't been packaged. If you do not package the file, I will not be able to view your fonts or the original images. )
DUE AT THE END OF CLASS (Next week is a work week.)

• Your layout refined.
• A printed copy of your refined draft, zine. This draft will be printed in booklet form. I will show you how to do this next week.

THE FINAL PROJECT- YOUR ZINE

Your Zine will be a visual narrative about your interest in your subject. You interest at this point should have arrived from you observational experience with you subject along with the research relating to your subject. A zine is not a book report but rather a highly subjective opinionated narrative of your knowledge about a certain topic. For this class your zine will be more visual than literal.


A checklist for your zine:

• A cover page- it may or may not include a title.
• Your name or signature-creatively drawn and placed should be somewhere in the zine.
• Your research: Described it to us in visual terms. Find a place in your zine to cite references.
• Your point of view- any running commentary should be personal and subjective.
• Original and creative graphics- An original logo and/or graphics that run through the zine. This can function to visually tie together pages
• Can you picture it? Images of subjective. Some of these images should be manipulated in Photoshop and/or illustrator.
• And lastly take us somewhere…...........!
Your zine should take us somewhere. This could be literally, telling us about a place where we could go to experience your topic-draw a map, or it could be instructional, like share a recipe or a simple lesson: “The abc’s in penmanship”

Keep in Mind

Play with your design: Vary your fonts and the placement of text. Visually distinguish your voice from the voice of your research.
Give credit where it is due, why?? because it is the good thing to do. However, this does not need to be in the traditional academic way of footnoting. You can be creative as to how you cite your sources.
Who is your audience? Imagine your zine going out in the world. Who will see it? What will they use it for? This should have an affect on how your design your zine.
Bind your zine with graphics Creating and repeating a logo and/or a stylized graphic will help visually bind you Zine together.

Build your zine in 4 steps

Step 1- Your first draft: (due next week at beginning of class)

Part 1 (a hardcopy draft)
• Your first draft will be done the old fashion way: cutting, pasting and drawing. First print out the images and text from your research (they can be printed in black and white.)
• Place and Paste them onto paper that has been folded to be the final size of your zine. (See document size, below)
• Print out your logo and/or a graphics you created and include this in your zines layout (You may want to print out several sizes to play with scale.) You can also sketch out graphics and later recreate them in illustration.
• With a pen or marker draw out how you will place your running commentary and research.

Part 2 (Layout your zine in indesign)
• Layout your zine in Indesign, using guides and text boxes.
• Place your images. (remember they need to be high res- 300dpi images)
• Place your text both research and personal narrative (text can be taken and copied from your blog)
• Package your zine- package your zine so your images are located with
Your Indesign file.

Step 2 Your second draft: (due next week at end of class)

Part 1
• This will be a work week: With your placed images and text, spend some time designing how your zine will look.
• Develop backgrounds color and patterns for your pages.
• Insert your logo and graphics and
• Include your name/signature.

Part 2
• Create an Inbooklet with spreads on view. (I will be showing you how to do this next week.)
• Print out a draft-by the end of this class**

Step 3 Your final draft: (due in two weeks at the end of last class)
Refine your placements.
Develop backgrounds color and patterns for your pages.
Include your signature
Print out your final zine. **

Step 4 A Presentation on Your Topic and The Final Zine
(due on the last day of class )
On the last day of class you will be asked to give a short presentation on your topic along with your final zine. See the post on A Topic Presentation

General requirements for your design:

*Document Size: I recommend you use a ½ letter size for your pages. This will allow for easy printing. (You of course are welcome to change the size it will mean more work for you and possibly cutting down your zine after printing.)
**Printing: Printing can be tricky, hence the reason to print a draft during class.

DIGITAL TOOLS Final Project: Making an "Analog" Zine.

1)Continue working on researching your topic. Follow the directions from the previous assignment 7, part 1.

2)For the next few weeks you will be designing your final project-a zine. (in "short") A zine is a little maga-zine. It is not a book report, but on the contrary, IT is
a HIghLy personalized publication on YoUr particular TOPIC of interest.




To begin, for this week, you will need:



scissors
glue stick or glue,
markers and/or colored pencils
colored/patterned paper, fancy paper (optional)
photo paper for printing out images you want to use.
and any other fun things you might want to stick on to your zine-string, glitter, confetti, whatever.










































Step 1- Your first draft: (due next week at beginning of class)

• Your first draft will be done the old fashion way: cutting, pasting and drawing. First print out the images and text from your research (they can be printed in black and white.)
• Place and Paste them onto paper that has been folded to be the final size of your zine. (1/2 a letter size, vertically aligned.)
• Print out your logo and/or a graphics you created and include this in your zines layout (You may want to print out several sizes to play with scale.) You can also sketch out graphics and later recreate them in illustration.
• With a pen or marker draw out how you will place your running commentary and any research you choose to include.


Part 1 Due Next Week

1. A blog post of another article you read on the internet that relates to your topic. Include links, and any other source material: author Publication...etc
2. Your finished hard copy.
3. Remember to bring in all the image files and graphics you think you will be using for you digital zine.

DIGITAL TOOLS ASSIGNMENT 6, Creating Wallpaper for your Zine.

Before we work in InDesign, you will be creating background "wallpaper" in Illustrator for your zine. Instead of a simple white or colored background this is an opportunity to spice up the look of your zine.

1. Open and illustrator print doc. and format the size- 1/2 letter 4.25 x 5.5 and orient it "portrait".
2. Using and repeating one of you logo image designs create a pattern that covers the total area of your document.
3. Copy and paste your design into several layers (4-6) and change each, altering the color, value and intensities.
4. Save all of your layers individually as svg's.

Post to your Blog

SAVING FILES AS PDFs

1) Saving Adobe Doc or Word Doc:
a) It is easy to save Adobe File as a PDF: Simply go to File>SaveAs and in the format drop down menu choose Adobe PDF. (Remember to change the name if you want to keep your original as an .ai or a psd. Otherwise it will override your original file)
b) For InDesign go to File/PDF Presets
c)For a Word Doc, go to File/Print and the Bottom Left of the Window, Click PDF/SaveAsPDF

2) Saving Photoshop and Illustrator Layers in a PDF: This is also simple to do. With all the layers visible choose File/SaveAs and in the format drop down menu choose Adobe PDF and click save. Another menu will come up. In the Adobe Version Menu choose Adobe Reader 7.0 (this version allows you to save layers while older ones do not) (The pages section of this document will be muddled if the layers were not for one image.)


3) Saving Photoshop and Illustrator Layers as pages in One PDF file. This is a little more difficult to do, but will give you the best results when wanting to display several images that exist in one file as pages in a PDF.

a. Open the original file and make visible the first layer that you want to be page 1.

1. Save the file as a PDF- File/SaveAs
   
2. You do not need to change the name (See above for saving one image)
3. In the “Save Adobe PDF” Window, Check, Embed “Page Thumbnails” and “View PDF after saving”.
4. Click Save as PDF.

There should now be 2 PDF’s open one in the original application (ai, psd…) and one open with Acrobat Reader


b. Save the .pdf open in Acrobat Reader with a new name

1. Click on the .pdf open in Acrobat Reader
2. Click File/Saveas and change the name of the file
3. At the left of this PDF, click the pages tab. You should see the visible layer saved as a page from your file.
4. Click on this page icon, to highlight it

c. Save the next visible layer in the .pdf open in the original application.

1. Now toggle back (F9) to the .pdf open in the original application and choose the next layer from page 2
2. click File/ Save ( S)

d. Insert Page 2 in the .pdf open in Adobe Reader

1. Toggle back to the new PDF open in adobe reader and with page 1 highlighted
2. Go to Document>InsertPages
3. Choose the original file with the new visible layer saved
4. Click open and ok. Page two should appear.

e. Repeat this process until all desired pages are created.


4) Saving Multiple Files as pages in One PDF file.
There is a great video tutorial on the CS3 Online Tutorial Site-look under Adobe Acrobat.

CHANGING A BITMAP IMAGE TO A VECTOR GRAPHIC

PLACE
First place your image in your AI document by clicking:

File/Place, locate the image, highlight it * and click Place.

*Make sure the link option in the place window is unclicked. (if the link is clicked, your image will NOT be imbedded into the file and when you move the file the image will not move with you.)







SCALE

If necessary, scale the image to fit within the parameters of the art board.

Object/Transform/Scale






LIVE TRACE

Now Open up your control panel (it may already be open) Window/Control
In the middle of the control panel there is a button named, Live Trace. (remember the image must be selected to see the control panel option for it.) To the right of the Live Trace button, click the down arrow key and choose Low or High Fidelity Photo. (depending on how much detail you want will determine whether you choose low or high.)




ENLARGE

With your navigator tool, enlarge the image. You will notice that it is no longer pixelated, rather the colors are separated into shapes. This is your indicator that the image is now a vector graphic.

EXPAND/Ungroup

Now you are ready to expand and ungroup your image. With the image still selected, click the EXPAND button- at the right of the control panel. Once you have done this all the paths and anchor points for your shapes will appear.

Now go to Object/Ungroup to ungroup the paths.

Once you have ungrouped the paths you can now manipulate them in anyway you want.

REMOVING THE BACKGROUND FROM A TRACED BITMAP IMAGE

When you place and trace an image in illustrator, often this image will come with a background color, usually white. This is even the case, when you have gone to the trouble to select and delete the background in photoshop. The reason for this is that your photoshop file is set to have a background vs being set for transparency.


When this is the case you can go back and attempt to set the .psd file with a transparent background or you can remove it in illustrator. Here is how you remove it in illustrator:

Convert your Bitmap file to a Vector graphic, using Live Trace
(see the tutorial- Changing your Bitmap Image to a Vector Graphic)

Select the Background:
Using the Select Tool in the Top of the Tool, press down the Shift Key and select all the background ground closed paths (there may be more than one) Once the are all selteted hit delete.

Rasterize you Image
If you prefer to have the image back to its bitmap state, convert the graphic back to a Raster Image by selecting the image and choose Effect/Rastorize.

Digital Tools-Assignment 7: Image making with Live Trace.

This is Brittany's Collage Assignment
Jo's Collage is intruiging too!

This assignment is similar to the "AnythingGoes" Photoshop Assignment, in that you will be utilizing all the tools you have learned so far in illustrator to create an interesting, dynamic graphic image. It will also be an opportunity for you to further develop your point of view as it relates to your subject. The assignment requires that you do a little research too, in this way you will see what other people are saying about you topic. Your research should be guided by the perspective that has been developing while you have been visually exploring your topic.

Part 1 Research your topic on the web.

1. Using the advanced google search, look for articles that seem to be of interest to you. Read through a couple of websites and pick an article(s) that you feel gives you new insights and builds on your interest in your subject.
2. Post on your blog a description (in your words) of the article(s) you read, name the new insights you learned from reading this article(s).
3. Include in your post links to the article(s), along with the title and author.

Part 2 Live Trace an Image (For help with Live Trace refer to the post:
"Changing a Bitmap Image to a Vector Graphic"

1. Choose an image either of your own or an image off the web that relates to your topic. (remember in either case it must be a large file.
2. Place this image in an illustrator file (remember to uncheck the link box.)
3. Live Trace the image. You have the option of tracing it in any way you want, there are a lots of options to choose from. Look on the right of the Live Trace Button in the Control Panel. (Photo high/low fidelity will give you a trace most accurate to a photograph-though difficult to edit.)
4. Once you have placed the image then Expand and Ungroup it, in order to edit the image.
5. From here you can now use Live Paint to change the look of the image, as well as other tools you have practiced and learned in illustrator.

Part 3 Create a collage of your work. You collage should reflect something about your point of view that you are researching.

1. Use the "Live Traced" image, and the edits you have made to it, the background for your collage.
2. Go ahead and Place your logos and your sketched images in new layers. You will use these new layers to create a collage with your Live Traced/Live Paint image. This is the place to be really creative with opacity, transparency tools, gradients and so on:

• Use the opacity tool to create contrast,
• Use the affects to dramatize parts of your image.
  
• Rotate and skew parts to give a sense of motion.
• Create multiples and repeat parts to create a feeling of rhythm.
  
• Play with the intensity of colors to create a mood.
• Use text...etc...

DUE Next Week


Post to Your Blog: (Remember to format for the web!!!)

1. A description of the article you read. (Include the link for the article.)
2. A post of the original image you Live Traced (Include a link if this is not your image.)
3. A post of the Live Traced version of the Original Image.

1. DUE at the end of Class: A post of the collaged image you created in Illustrator, this will be used as the basis for you cover page for your final project.

POST to Server at THE END OF CLASS

1 pdf file with pages showing your four logos, our traced gradient illustraton and you collage.

USING THE GRADIENT TOOL.

Here is a video tutorial, on "How to use the gradient tool and blends"
