First, I created a 32 page InDesign document, and worked on the “Master Page” to create the elements that will be copied on each page of my brochure.
To automatically number the pages, I went to “Type” > “Insert Special Character” > “Markers” > “Current Page Number.” Then I typed an “A” on the master page, which allowed the following pages to be numbered properly.
If you want to have a page that doesn’t follow the master page, just drag the “none” page down to the desired page.
To edit individual pictures, go to the “links” tab and “open in photoshop” to edit them and have them directly import back into the InDesign page.
I created three Paragraph Style sheets by going to the “Paragraph Style” menu, adding a new sheet, and choosing the font preferences in the Basic Format tab. I created one for my headlines, one for my subheads, and one for my body text.
I saved it as a PDF file and “File” > “packaged,” which allows me to send a whole folder with the fonts, images, etc to whomever I need.
