Final Project Part 1 - Preparing the document

Major Grade Reminders
Photo Essay Must be shot by May 21, and complete by May 28
Photo Illustration Must be Complete by May 21


First - Make sure that ALL of your InDesign document up to this point, including the glossary, is up to date.

Check the fall final exam, and the action/ architecture InDesign wrap up.


Next - Rename your InDesign document according to the following formula:

Period#_photojSPfinal_Last_First
Ex: 8_photojSPfinal_Connolly_Matthew_

Make sure that the document is saved IN YOUR FOLDER.

Next - Check all of the links in your document. Remember that an InDesign document is actually a collection of documents. If you start moving or renaming the photos and other files associated with it, you will have problems.

With your document open, select Window > Links. Look at the list of links. If there are any warning signs (yellow triangle w/ !), double click on that link, and select "relink." You then must find the file that you moved or changed. If you can't find the file to link, you must do that part of the page again.

Next - Make three new pages in your InDesign. Title one "Digital Contest," anothe one"Photo Illustration," the final one "Electronic Essay." Remember that your glossary should always be the final pages of teh document.


More to come.
