and certain steps or set of instructions.
The first step towards making it would be clicking the file option on the drop down menu
and selecting new followed by document. For setting up the number of pages, input the
number 2 on the number of pages space. You also need to enter the width and the height
of the postcard into the width and height boxes. Enter the margins into it on the top,
bottom, left and right sides of your document. After this you need to do your artworks
and writing work inside the box. You can put a margin of 0.25 inches. Set a well-defined
bleed for your postcard. Bleed is generally left out in order to set a line up to which you
can do your artwork. A common measurement of it is 0.125 inch. After this you need to
open your file in InDesign window and start your postcard creating work. You will
probably get two pages for it, the front one and the back one. By default pink margins
will appear on the top and bottom of the page. Left and right margins will also appear
represented in a purple margin. Try to keep all the text and your artwork inside it. After
completing check for errors once again and if you find then correct it.
Finally, make a move and save your file going to the file option and selecting the save
option there. A box will appear asking you to enter the location where you want to save
it. You can also use the shorthand CTRL+S in order to save the file. Also, save it as an
2. InDesign document. You can also reuse it later by saving it as an InDesign template.
While saving the file initially it is better to name it as pre-set, further in the course you
are allowed to use any other names to it. it is also better to check the printer before you
take the print out of it because there can be some technical problems or setting problems
which needs to be corrected to avoid any type of unwanted conditions to occur. You can
also take out a sample print out from it in order to check the printer is working properly
or not. So, by the use of the software you can create an effective and more attractive
postcard for any of your requirements.
