InDesign Week 3 Tutorials

Greetings, friends!

This morning, I tackled two Adobe InDesign tutorials. I’m really glad I did, especially the first one, because I discovered how simple and helpful the interactive options are in Adobe InDesign. Having interactive features available is especially valuable for designers working on web content or ebooks. I learned how to convert text into buttons and customize their appearance for actions like clicking or rolling over with the mouse. I also figured out how to turn text into animations or add an MP4 video. Afterward, I created an online published version with a link that I can share, so feel free to check out my first InDesign animation below!

Next, I followed another tutorial where I used ChatGPT to find some information. I designed a new layout with a bleed in InDesign. After placing my cursor where I needed the footnote, I right-clicked, and it automatically created a footnote for the corresponding text that spans across the bottom of the page. Pretty cool!
