Okay, good-looking people.
What we're going to do in this video is work on our master pages.
When we draw our rectangle,
pretty little box that our page number is going to go into.
We do it once and it appears on all of our pages.
Let's go and do that.
To work on the Master page is we need to say this page is panel.
So got a window pages if you can't see it and just have a little look at these pages,
I've got page one, two, three,
four, but you can see the A in the corner.
It means that they're attached to something called the A-Master.
That's there by default, you are given one.
You can have as many master pages as you need,
and you put things on the master page that you want to appear on every page,
like a page number,
maybe it's a small like a title of the document,
it's version or date or who produced it.
Anything that you want to be consistent on every page,
it might be some graphics or logo or watermark to get to the master page,
you need to double-click up here.
You might not be able to see it, so you might have to scroll down or find it,
see if you can see it hiding up in the top of the pages panel.
To get to it, you just double-click it and you got to make sure you're there.
To make sure it's a little, it's not very obvious.
I wish there was like a big flashing green light that seed you will in here,
but down the bottom here it says A-Master.
I'm not on one page or two or three am on A- Master.
I've zoomed out a little bit just so I can see it all. Maybe not that file.
It's got the rectangle tool and let's have the top here give it a fill of
magenta is fine and just draw a big rectangle on this left-hand side.
What you'll notice is,
can you see here that rectangle is appeared on all the left-hand spreads.
Not on the right hand ones I'm drawn anything on this side
because you'll have things like page numbering on
different sides of the pages or you only want the document name and the top right.
You don't need it on the top right of this page so you have left and right spread.
Do the same thing over here do a different style,
a box maybe a different color.
Just so that you can see over here that when I draw stuff on the Master page,
it appears on all of my pages.
You'll notice if I go to these pages,
double-click on page one, grab my black arrow is I can actually select it.
If I need to delete it,
it needs to come off the master page.
Let's jump back to our master page, double-click it,
and select new and delete it.
What I'd like to do is grab the rectangle tool
and I'd like to draw a rectangle that sits down
the bottom we're going to be doing you sorted the beginning
there kind of like a box that sits on the bottom.
I wanted to make sure it overlaps the brief so gets trimmed off in
the bun and it goes right up until the spine here. How far up?
Let's have a guess we can change it later on and you'll notice on page one, there it is,
they double-click Page two,
I've got that nice color box will duplicate it for the other side in sec.
On page one, actually,
make sure you go back to my A-Master,
I promise you'll be like the world's best user of
the InDesign and you will still forget you're not on the Master page.
It's been ages designing something on page one thinking it's on the Master page,
and have to copy and paste it afterwards, we always forget.
Same happens when you think you're designing on page one and you're actually in
the master page and you realize everything you've designed is on every single page,
you just have to do some copying and pasting afterwards.
Next thing we want to do is I want to fill this with one about colors.
What you can do when you get started with the new document is you'll see at
the top here there's actually none of those colors through it that's sitting over there,
which is no big drama.
But you can't be all official and bring this swatches through properly.
With a black arrow, have nothing selected, okay,
right-click this guy and say add these swatches and just do it for all of them,
so you know you've got all of our colors as part of the swatches thing.
There he is there. It's a bit weird.
I know that there, but why aren't they there?
It's because this is kind of new and there's not a super slick integration yet.
That will change, if I have the selected and at the top here,
I'm going to pick my green at heart rate.
You will see it appears on all the right hand spreads.
Now I'm going to select it,
copy and paste it, edit copy,
edit paste and we're going to have a left-hand spread as well.
Let's double check it on other pages.
Double-click page A, page two,
page three is all a little foot out color box.
The next thing we're going to do is do
our automatic page numbering will do that in the next video. Skip to that.
One of the things I want to explain before we move on though is,
master pages control all of these pages.
So when it comes to things like adjusting the margins and columns,
it's best to do it in the A-Master because it'll adjust all the pages.
If I say so I got page one and I'm like,
I want to change the columns to four and I go up to object,
layout sorry and get a margins and I pick columns are now going to be four.
Click Okay. What happens is page one
changed because see page two and three are still the same.
So that's how to change individual pages,
but probably more often than not,
you just want to actually change them all.
Okay, you've decided you want change the modulus on everything.
You do that by going a master,
so double-click it and make the changes in here.
Now if I go to object,
and it's going to layout margins and go to four and you'll see it does this page.
You have the drop here and double-click this page go and make it go
blue and do it for this side as well.
Fiddly, I know, but that's the way it is, it's going to fall.
Now, what you'll notice is I got to page one,
page two, page three,
I've done those adjustments.
If you are finding it's a little bit weird it's
probably because you're not doing it on your master page.
I'm going to undo that.
Let's go and do automatic page numbering in the next video.
