Join Tony Harmer for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a new document, part of Accelerated Design with Comp CC and InDesign.
- Once you're signed into Comp you're going to find some basic documents here that you can use to learn from. And of course any documents of your own such as this one from my course on creating a poster with Adobe mobile apps. To create a new document you tap the plus on the lefthand side of the screen and then you get this format popup which has some devices along the top of the screen then some print formats in the middle there and some web formats on the lefthand side at the bottom.
You can create your own format. So for example, in my personal account I have a square format for images that I make using a photo sharing site for example. But you can create anything you want there. All you need to do is enter the width and height values and the name and then that will appear in that bit at the bottom corner there and further on. So I'm going to use a device format for this course. I'm going to tap for iPad landscape. The document will be created and in the next movie we're going to look at putting some things in it.
