Subtitles of the Movie

The Adobe Creative Suite applications work very, very well with one another. What we're going to do is we're going to create an InDesign one-page ad for our Titanic logo that we created earlier. So I'm going to go to Illustrator and what I'm going to do is, with my move tool or my selection tool, I'm going to move this window over so I can see both the InDesign document as well as my Adobe Illustrator document and I'm going to click and drag this logo right over and there it is, in InDesign. How cool is that? Now I'm going to hide Illustrator because I don't need to see it there right now. Thank you for your time. I'll move this guy down, the logo, in InDesign, and what I'm going to do at this point is go to my layers and I'm going to double click and rename this layer Logo. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to Photoshop now and we're going to create the world's cheesiest water effect ever. Now, our InDesign document is a letter 8-1/2 x 11" document, so I'm going to try to match that in Photoshop. So I'm going to go to file, new, and from my custom presets, I'm going to choose US paper and I'm going to choose the letter size, but what I'm going to do here, for the purposes of this demonstration, is drop the resolution down from 300 to 72. Now, once again, this is going to be a print ad, so normally you would keep this at 300 or whatever resolution your art director suggests, but because this 24 megabyte file size takes a long time when I drag it into InDesign, to get there, I'm going to drop it down so that we can do this more efficiently and drop it down to 1.39 mb. So now that we have our document, do me a favor and let's expand it out just a little bit if you need to, so we can see the whole thing. Now what we're going to do is click one time on this foreground swatch and choose a blue color. As you can see, it's a little easy to get confused when you're working with so many applications at one time. So what I'm going to do is go to edit, I'm going to choose fill, and I'm going to fill this document with this foreground color and now I'm going to hit D on the keyboard to return my swatches to the default black and white. Now I'm going to hit X on the keyboard to switch these colors and I'm going to choose my brush tool and with my brush tool I'm going to click a couple of lines to draw some zigzaggy patterns here. Once again, we're just going for something abstract. We're not going for something fancy. I'm going to add one up here and I'm going to go this way as well. Now what we're going to do is we're going to add a filter. We're going to go to filter and we're going to go to distort and we're going to choose wave. As you see here, we get this nice kind of water pattern here. That's good enough for this exercise, which is kind of cool. We're going to filter again. We're going to choose blur, Gaussian blur, and we're going to apply that nice blur to it, so we can see the water pattern - gives us that caustics feel. Now that we have that, we're going to grab our move tool and move this document over, like we did before the Illustrator, and drag and drop our water right into InDesign. We'll give that a couple of seconds to get there and, boom, there it is. Now we're going to move this pattern down. As you see, it matches our document because we chose the exact same dimensions, but let's create a new layer. Double click where it says layer and name it water. With this selected, we're going to click and drag this icon right here to the new layer. Now the water is on its own layer and now what we can do is click and drag the logo on top of the water layer and now we see that we have our document coming along very nicely. Now what we're going to do is lock both of these layers and, last but not least, what we're going to do in InDesign is we're going to create a new layer. We're going to call it text. Then what we're going to do here is we're going to grab our type tool and we're going to drag out a boundary for our type and we're going to go to the type menu and we're going to choose to fill with placeholder text. As you see here, in three applications, we've created a quick ad using Photoshop for our custom water, InDesign to put everything together, and Illustrator to build our logo. So as you can see, the applications work hand in hand with one another and it's literally as easy as dragging and dropping one element from one document into another.
