Introduction to Adobe InDesign CC
Adobe InDesign is a desktop publishing software used to design publications like magazines, books and posters. It was introduced in 1999 as the successor to PageMaker. The basics of graphic design in InDesign include lines, shapes, mass, texture and color. These elements are used to structure page layout and provide visual interest. The document also discusses printing considerations like RGB vs CMYK color modes and image resolution. It provides vocabulary terms related to InDesign tools and functions and outlines a tutorial for making a basic brochure in the software.

Editor's Notes
- #18 Extension: A piece of software that loads into InDesign and becomes part of it, adding more capabilities. Frame: The container for an object, whether text, graphic, or color fill. Link: The connection that InDesign makes to an imported file. The link contains the file’s location, last modification date, and last modification time. A link can reference any image or text file that you have imported into a layout. InDesign can notify you when a source text or graphics file has changed, so you can choose whether to update the version in your layout. (A hyperlink, often also abbreviated to link in casual conversation, connects elements in a Web page to other Web pages or other resources such as PDF files.) Master page: A template within a layout that contains elements that you want to occur on any page that is based on that master page. For example, a specific master page might contain page numbers and the standard text frame for body text, so when you add new pages to the document based on this specific master page, those new document pages automatically include the page numbers and standard text frames. Package: The collection of all files needed to deliver a layout for commercial printing. InDesign has a package feature that collects all these files for you. Pane: A section of a dialog box or panel whose options change based on the set of controls you’ve selected in the dialog box or panel. Panel: A container for controls that stays on-screen even when you aren’t using it (in contrast to a dialog box, which appears only while you are using it). Panels can be docked to the right edge of the screen or free-floating. Panels can be combined into a single container called a panel group. Path: A shape in which the endpoint and start point are separate, keeping the shape open. Lines are a straight type of path. PDF: The Adobe Portable Document Format is the standard for electronic documents. No matter what kind of computer it is viewed on (Windows, Macintosh, Palm, or Unix), a PDF document retains high fidelity to the original in typography, graphics representation, and layout. InDesign can place PDF files as if they were graphics and export its own pages as PDF files. Place: To import a graphics file or text file. Stroke: The outline of an object (whether a frame, a line, or an individual text character). Thread: The links between text frames that route stories among them.
