Experimenting with Cs5

I created a page master for the Breeze, our news magazine in InDesign. It looks just like the version I create in MS Publisher. I don't want the Breeze to to look the same next year so I will not use it. This was just a learning project. I had to figure out how it works. I did it by having the Indesign "Help" section open in a second screen and looking up the how-tos as I moved through the document. I think I want to do the Breeze as a web page with active links like the NY Times on line edition.
I also created my first Flash "video" it is only about 40 sec long, but as a flash, it loops and replays.I used a painting of my grandson. I had to create layers of his arm and leg so that I could create moving parts. As Challenging as it was, it was fun!
Hope my "How-to" books arrive soon.

Yes! Post the flash. That would be awesome. I knew you could do it.

I'm excited for you, but not jealous because I don't know if I would have the patience to learn all that. If it was me, I'd find there was narrow thing I wanted to do and learn just enough to accomplish it without ever soaring into the stratosphere as I'm sure all that software would allow a person to do. But this is because I'm not in a multi-media soaring frame of mind these days.

It takes some doing. Two out of three books that I ordered arrived today, so the learning should improve.

Congrats! It sounds like things are going really well with getting to know the software!

It is a simple Flash... wish I knew how to post it online somewhere.
