Introduction to Indesign 

We were shown the basics of how to use indesign to help us when it comes to using it for our editorial assignment. first we went to www.pexels.com and selected and image we wanted to use. It was a really useful website to know about because it had so many profession photographs all for free to download. once we had selected our images we opened indesign and chose print and then A4 we added more pages as we went by using the + sign at the bottom of the page. Once our picture was uploaded we used it to take up exactly half of the screen using the pink line to show us when we were at the middle. 

We then learnt how to change the colour of the whole page by creating a rectangle over the whole page and image using the rectangle tool and then selecting the colour. I found i lost my image behind the rectangle so we had to send it to back so it would bring the image forward. 

After this we added text by selecting a text box and using random text generator just so we had some text to use. we could channge the font and size also. I found this session really useful and think it will help me in the future and for my assignment.

 Making a logo using illustrator. First we sleeted the polygon shape and created a diamond shape and rotated it 90 degrees and then used direct select to keep all the angles the same when making the image bigger. we drag selected the bottom half of the diamond and enlarged it. then we made a copy of this original shape by selecting the shape and pressing control C to copy and control V to past. Hold shift and move the new shape in the middle of the original shape but make it smaller. Then we used the line tool to we connected both shapes together using the anchor points.  By selecting unite it fused all the lines into one shape instead of two big shapes and lines. using the ccopies we had already made we could then change the colour whilst keeping the original  shape as one.

  Screen printing! what you will need. frame/screen. fabric you want to print on. squeegee  ink in desired colours. Firstly you need to design and then draw a stencil of the design you wish to print onto you fabric. Cut it out and place it on the fabric where you want the design to go. Now pour some ink onto the screen and place it over the stencil which should be placed over your fabric. Find something heavy to place on top of it to keep it from moving once you start printing. Now that you are happy with you design placement pick up your squeegee and slowly drag it over the ink spreading it over your design. Do this several times forwards and backwards and then lift up the screen to reveal your print!
