Creative Tip: Let InDesign Do the Math For You.
Ever been working on a project in your favorite design application and found yourself hunting for a calculator? You might be surprised how many of today’s creative tools will happily do the math for you.
In this short 3-minute video clip, Jason Hoppe shows you how to place guides precisely in the fast way, letting InDesign do all that annoying arithmetic for you.
Source: Last week, Jason Hoppe kicked off his 10-Week InDesign Course. Attendees said these math tricks were some of the most valuable tips Jason covered that first day.
This particular video clip comes from Jason’s earlier February workshop, Moving Faster in InDesign CS3/CS4. For a limited time, we’re including a free copy of this February recording and accompanying 12-page PDF for everyone who purchases the full set of downloads for Jason’s 10-Week InDesign Course.
