InDesign Tools for Beginners

 

Learn Adobe InDesign in 9 MINUTES!

    
    The frame tool for InDesign seems similar to the one used in Adobe Photoshop. You select the area you want to put your image into and then you can click and drag the image from the desktop, into the area you selected in the beginning. Although, this tool for InDesign seems to have more precise chosen are to work with then with the Photoshop tool. This tool will probably be used to insert images onto the background in an easier way and move them around to fit the final product. What's interesting about this video is that he doesn't just go over the tools he goes over the basics of InDesign such as the pages tab, guides under layout, etc. 
Onto the background in an easier way and move them around to fit the final product.

    This video goes over how to use all the basic tools in Above InDesign and it is very easy to follow along with. The easiest tools to use are definitely going to be the selection tool and direct selection tool as they seem similar to the Photoshop version, and I am familiar with both of these tools. The pencil tool seems similar to Photoshops Brush Tool which leads me to believe it will also be easier to use. Under the pencil tool there is a smooth tool, which will smooth out the rough areas from the freehanded pencil tool, this seems to be a new tool but also easy to use. The video

Final Image: Original Image: Picture taken to be photoshopped: Estimated time: 4 hours          For this project I chose a scene from the movie Knives Out (2019) as it is an amazing movie that I loved when my family and I went to see it in theaters. This took around four hours to complete as there was plenty of adjusting to do with the hues, saturations, and other mechanisms to try to make it as accurate to the environment in the movie scene. While researching the way the clothes were styled from the movie, I learned that Marta, the main character and the character who was in the scene I photoshopped over, was styled in a more comfortable fashion. Going off of the comfort style, I through on more baggy clothes and posed in as similar a way that I could, before snapping the photo I used for the project. My outfit does not match Martas ensemble as closely as I wanted, but that is because I just didn't have any coats, gloves, scarfs, or grey colored clothes on hand.      As mentioned

Business cards

  Business card design 1: Business card design 2: Business card design 3:      For this project I used Adobe InDesign and with the program I was able to create three designs for business cards. The instructions for this project said to use a fake number, email, and website so those placeholder names are there instead of real ones. If this were to be used for a legitimate business then a real number, email, and website would of course be used. Since I have now used multiple Adobe programs by this point, it was relatively easy to create the design for these business cards and use all of the tools available.         For the first business card I wanted to go with a simple and almost sleek look. I made the font more basic and only put my logo on the card, no other designs. For the second business card I wanted to add an almost fun design element, so I used the ellipse tool to create the blue circles and then added a gradient. I think that the idea in hindsight was a good one, but it seems

Autoscopy

  Final Image: Estimated Time: 3.5 hours Original Image Used: Other Images Used For Hands ALL FOLLOWING IMAGES FROM:  Free Stock Photos, Royalty Free Stock Images & Copyright Free Pictures · Pexels Background Image: Images Used to fill "holes": Images Used For "holes":     This project was incredibly difficult to find a topic to go with and be inspired by. I had several ideas in the beginning to go with, but none of them panned out how I wanted them too. This final image was not inspired by anything in particular but it did come from one of my failed autoscopy attempts. I was trying to photoshop one of my eyes onto my hand and make it look like it was coming out of it, and that idea was just not working the way I wanted it to. Then the idea of having a hole in my hand popped into my head and I found a hole design and placed it on my image. Still not satisfied, I got the idea to put in, using the frame tool, some really cool images I found of different designs wh
