【文章內容簡介】 nitial Page Setup: Before setting up the InDesign Template, first look to see if the online printer has provided any online resources. For example, Blurb offers a plugin that generates a template for you. However, in some cases, a template will need to be created from scratch which I outline below.Go to “FileNewDocument.” In the new document dialogue box, make sure “Facing Pages” is checked. This will allow you to create spreads instead of individual pages. Also, estimate how many pages your portfolio will be and insert that number into “Number of pages”. The number of pages does not have to be exact and can be changed as the document is developed. Change the width and height to the final “Cut” size of a single page. In my case I want it to be ” wide by 8” high. InDesign defaults to picas, not inches which is the unit I want to use. A little tip when setting the width and height is type what you want in inches and follow the number with “in” such as “”. InDesign will give you that dimension in picas. You can also change the units by going to “PreferencesUnits and Increments” and change the ruler units to inches for both the horizontal and vertical. I set my margins to ” except for the inside margin which is set to ”. The margins act as a barrier by which important text and images stay within. However, images and graphics can extend outside of this line and should continue all the way to the bleed edge. Different size margins are okay to use but I wouldn39。t suggest going less than ”. You will want a larger margin in the inside edge to account for binding. Finally, I set the bleed to ” (1/8”) for all four sides. Choose “Ok” to plete the setup. （譯者注：制作文本與單頁打印的邊距差別很大，制作A1大圖的時候幾乎不會考慮邊距，但作品邊距很重要，影響到排版與最終的閱讀效果。原作者推薦的6個毫邊距譯者覺得不夠，A4左右的頁面至少一個厘，可以參照一些畫冊類雜志的邊距感受一下一個厘其實也很少。譯者就是沒設置邊距打出來神坑，閱讀起來很不舒服。） 設置模板之前，首先看在線打印商是否提供了任何在線資源。例如，blurb提供了一個插件，為您生成一個模板。然而，一般情況模板都需要從頭開始創(chuàng)建的。 “文件 新建 文檔”在新建文檔對話框中，勾選“對頁”檢查。這將允許您創(chuàng)建跨頁而不是單頁。同時，估計你的作品集有多少頁插入“頁數”，不用很精確之后也可以增減。 改變寬度和高度。默認單位為像素，可以在“首選項單位和增量”中更改。 主要內容的文本和圖像應控制在邊距線內以保證最佳閱讀效果，邊距線以外流血線以內當然也可以有圖像和圖形，只是這部分比較不適合閱讀。可以設置自定義的邊距大小，（約6個毫）。 最后，(1/8)英寸。選擇“Ok”完成設置。3B. Master Pages: Masters are essentially templates that you can overlay on multiple pages. When you make a change to a master, it will update all book pages that the master was applied to. This is useful if you are adding page numbers, a title, or a graphic that needs to appear in the exact same place on multiple pages. In the case of this portfolio, I really only need it for page numbers. There are situations in my portfolio where the page number gets lost in a dark background, therefore, I create a second master with white text. To view master pages, go to “WindowPages” and you will see the masters at the top. Clicking on a master thumbnail brings up the master page where you can make changes. They can
