10-11+Layout

= news from your editor = Lol. Ok you guys, so we have a number of articles to make. As of now, I think the only people who can do layout are me, Kma, and Frank. Therefore, we will have training sessions, lessons, etc. etc. to make sure you guys all become familiarized with the processing of layout.

Please add your name and email address to this page, as soon as you join the layout team. Seriously.

Every tuesday, we will breakup from the rest of the word meeting to go over progress on all layouts. How fun. = = =layout template = Template for layouts that can also be found on the Word server. This had to be compressed into a .zip file or else it was too big for the Wikispace. Open it and extract the InDesign file. = = =** word team ** = Alex Zhang (howner747@yahoo.com) Kevin Ma (kevnma@gmail.com) Frank Wu (frank-wu@live.com) Tait Gu (Tait_Gu@hotmail.com) Jiayi Zhou (jiayi01pd2012@sasstudent.org) Wei-Wei Lin (midna.loves.cheese@gmail.com) (Wheeeeee finally get to work again!) = = = article sign-ups/ need to finish = (grab an article and sign-up!)
 * (members: please add your email addresses next to your name)**

**IMPORTANT:** Use the template that's on the server! But __**DON'T**__ edit directly from that file. Copy the layout that you need (and all its elements) from its page and paste it into a __**new**__ InDesign document.

**Deadline:**

=** articles finished (layout, packaged and ON THE SERVER) **=



= = = layout presets for InDesign = document preset: save as "WORD magazine preset" number of pages: (facing pages) page size: A4 (width = 210 mm, height = 297 mm) margins
 * top - 7.5 mm**
 * bottom - 15 mm**
 * inside - 10 mm**
 * outside - 10 mm**

directions for saving all the image files+fonts+links into one neat package
 * after you've finished your layout, go to (and make sure all the links are correctly linked to the InDesign document):**
 * 1. File >> (and scroll down to) "Preflight"**
 * 2. If you see a little yellow triangle with an explanation mark (!) in it, read the text next to it carefully. Pay attention to "**Links and Images**"! (Read the Links and Images part carefully to see if there are any MISSING links. And sorry, just pretend that it says "0 Missing Images.") If it looks like this:**
 * then click "Package" on the right bottom corner of the window.**


 * 3. You'll probably see this:**
 * Ignore the message and click "Continue."**


 * 4. Save the "Package Folder" as "Article Name_Your Name." (example - book review_wei-wei.)**
 * 5. Click "OK" for all messages that appear.**
 * 6. And also be sure to save your InDesign file under the SAME title.**
 * **Important note:** Layout members, please remember to add your bylines! (C'mon, this is your way to shine in the magazine!)
