    Hi Debbie:

    We are always happy to help when you have a question.

    But speaking as a career InDesign instructor, if my student needs to go find outside for help with every class assignment, it tells me that I'm not doing a great job teaching the topics. You might want to start by approaching your teacher to let him/her know that you are struggling in the class, and give them a change to help you one-on-one. Once they are aware that you need additional help, it may well change how they present information, and cue them to ask you (and others in the same boat) if the presentation makes sense or if you need additional information before assigning the homework.

    For many instructors, homework is meant to review topics already learned in class.

    It's definitely not an inconvenience to offer help. We're just questioning the fact that your instructor doesn't seem to be providing you with essential information as part of his/her instruction but is relying on you to find it outside the class.

    Please continue to ask your questions here, and we'll be happy to help you out!


    Hi Debbie: 

    I didn’t mean to imply that you shouldn’t be asking us questions. I’m sorry if that it how it came across.  We are here for you—continue to let us know how we can help.

    We are just pointing out that it unusual that the instructor is not giving you the information that you need, and that there’s nothing wrong emailing him for more information.

    Which version of InDesign do you have and your operating system?

    You first need to create a new document in InDesign: File > New > Document (you'll need to know what size your document is to be.

    A logo is normally in a digital format, such as a JPG. If yours is printed say on a business card, you'll need to scan the logo from the card and save it as a JPG.

    You then File > Place your logo into your recently created InDesign document and add any text you want and save it as a INDD: File > Save As

    You can use the InDesign presets to export your document, Acrobat PDF Presets and select Press Quality PDF.

    Hi Debbie:

    It's not clear to me if you have designed the business card yet in InDesign. If you haven't, start there, but your instructor is listing the output that results from using File > Package on an existing InDesign document.
