Long Documents: Best Practices & Brutal Hacks with Adam Jury

If you ever work on long documents you don't want to miss our May meeting! Adam Jury will talk about long documents (summary below) -- but we need to stress that when Adam says "long documents" he's doing COMPLICATED long documents with tons of charts, images, rules about where things can and can't break, etc. His work involves problem-solving wizardry because of the industry he works in.

We'll start with some best practices around Document Setup: Parent Pages, Styles, and Layers. In the middle, we'll go over how to best get our text/data/artwork into our new document and how to format it efficiently. In the end we'll talk about finalizing this big document with things like Table of Contents, Cross-References, Indexes — and then how to get it all out of InDesign!

Adam Jury is a graphic designer and publisher based in Minneapolis. His work focuses on analog games: books, cards, boxes and other ephemera. A co-founder of Posthuman Studios, he's been publishing the EclipsePhase roleplaying game since 2009, winning multiple awards and running successful crowdfunding campaigns along the way.
