In this tutorial I will show you how to get your LESS and SASS files working in Dreamweaver. If you don't know what LESS or SASS are, they are CSS pre-processors. You need to learn them. They are great.

This tutorial will show you step by step how to use InDesigns text wrap features.

We'll learn how to use text wrap with objects and images. We'll also show you how to make some objects 'ignore' the text wrap.

Simple step by step tutorial with clear screenshots.

I hope you like it.

In this resource I share a form created using Adobe Forms Central for submitting digital images.

This is also a good way to collect student images to share them with the class and discuss their assessment of their image. You can have the students defend why they r...See more

This resource .zip file contains the assignment InDesign file with instructions and rubric, a .PDF file with interactive links to resources on David Hockney, and an .idml file of the assignment instructions (for InDesign versions before CS6). This has been a very successful project in my classroom. The sample file shown was created by one of my students. Please customize for your needs. Let me know how it works for you! Any suggestions are encouraged!

Every week, students will upload (to their individual Google Sites) 2 photographs for their chosen theme. At the end of the semester students will create an Acrobat Portfolio.

Included in the .zip files is the assignment InDesign file, InDesign Markup File (for versions before CS6), and a .pdf file. Customize to suit your needs.
