Today in class, we have a couple things you can do remotely:

1. Books

Today, export a PDF of your book progress. I’m excited to see how far you’ve all gotten and if you’ve made progress with your images.

If you haven’t gotten to 15–20 pages, or if you don’t know where you’re ending it, do that today. Then make your PDF.

Here’s what to do:
If you don’t know how to export a PDF already, there are instructions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/how-to/indesign-create-pdf-for-print.html

Use these settings:
• Preset: High quality print (the top dialog in the Export window)
• Range: this is which pages you’re exporting. Export just the pages you’ve finished. So, in this box, you might have 1-20 or something similar. If it gives you grief, just export the whole thing (it’s better if you don’t, but it’s fine)
• Check the box for Spreads, so you’re exporting as spreads.

Upload this to the shared folder in Google Drive. Click here to upload

2. Preparation

Then watch these videos as preparation + inspiration for our letterpress workshop (they’re also just good things/people to know about).

The videos are here.
