5.1 Conclusion
Hi there, and welcome to the last part of this course, Basics of Print Design. In this video, we're going to recap everything we've learned. Learning the basics of print design is important, if you're starting your career as a designer, or you're a season designer. In this course, we covered everything from setting up different files, creating an effective workspace by adjusting your preferences, and setting up the structure of a design layout. Making sure you have the right elements set up from the very beginning will only make your job easier as you develop a project. File organization is one of the most important elements especially if you're working as a freelancer. So we touched on what the essential folders you need to have. We also talked about color swatches and paragraph sales, these two elements can make your job a lot easier. And if you're working with templates, these two are one of the most essential. Typography is a big topic in design, and we covered a lot of it in this course. We managed to cover the must know rules, that you can apply your future projects. Working with images in InDesign need a special attention if your file will be printed. So checking them in Photoshop to make sure that you have the highest quality possible will only ensure a smooth printing process. We also covered a few ways to create impact in your layout. Following rules is good practice. But breaking the rules can help you discover new and creative ways to design. So once you are a little bit more comfortable with the rules, try pushing the boundaries little by little, so you can also grow as a designer. We wrapped up this course by covering the key elements you need to check when you're exporting a file, how to package a project for storage. In this course, we gave you many tips that you can take when you're ready to work in a professional studio or as a freelancer, that will make your job a lot easier and smoother.
