Publish or be damned?

I think I mentioned elsewhere that I have become involved in a group called Love Little Lever.

As part of this, and tying in with www.littleleverlocal.co.uk I agreed to design a leaflet promoting local businesses which also promotes the website.

I emailed around a few different printers and found what I considered to be a good price, and using an Adobe InDesign template I started work.

Well almost…I tried InDesign, didn’t like it so started over in Photoshop. Then Nick from Henighans gave me a quick 10 mins on using InDesign and I was away.

Well almost (again)…bleed, gutter, margin…all new and weird terms to a beginners but with a lot of help from Ibraheem at Secure Prints we finally got a working version we could go to print with.

To call it a steep learning curve is a slight understatement! But next time I’m better prepared for using Indesign, understanding bleed and gutters, and the use of black.
