The Process Manual

Step 6 - Decide on folios and other master page items. If you will be using folio artwork in your yearbook, pick that artwork from the ClikArt guide, found at help.walsworthyearbooks.com/using-indesign/ . If you will be designing your own artwork, keep the following in mind: • The standard folio area on a page is approximately 18 picas wide and three picas tall. • The artwork should be saved as a JPEG, TIFF or PNG. Step 7 - Set up the WPCYB folder. Using the file management tips that follow, create or move the folders within the WPCYB folder so it makes sense for your yearbook. FILE MANAGEMENT File management refers to the process of saving and organizing documents, such as page files, digital image files and graphic files. Using the file management steps outlined in this section will get all necessary files in the same location, which will reduce missing files and links and will help make submitting your pages to Walsworth a quick and easy process. The best way to ensure easy creation and submission of your yearbook is to use the WPCYB folder , installed on your computer, to manage and organize your yearbook files properly. Within the _WPCYB folder, we suggest first creating folders for your deadlines and proofs and your index pages. For better organization of photos, consider creating folders for your original photos (these are photos that come straight from your camera) and also a folder for any photos that are edited in programs like Photoshop or Illustrator. Pages Use this folder to store pages as they are currently being worked. To organize your pages better, you may wish to create folders for specific staff members or sections of your yearbook. Proofs When you receive your proofs from Walsworth, copy them into the Proofs folder that corresponds to that proof part. For more information, see the instructions that come with your proof files. Size Core Libraries These libraries, based on different sections of the yearbook, contain templates and other design elements that can be placed on the page.
