Join Nigel French for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a cover preview, part of Designing a Digital Magazine.
…Similar to creating the table of contents thumbnails,…I'm now going to create a cover preview.…I won't be doing a screenshot for this though.…Rather I'll be exporting the cover page.…So I'll press Cmd or Ctrl+e to export.…The format will be png.…I'll save it in the cover folder.…Quality medium, resolution 72.…I can now go back to my folio builder and I…want to make sure I'm at the folio level, folio properties.…
And I'm going to load the horizontal cover preview.…Like so.…Now since this is a single orientation folio, I don't need a vertical preview.…
