InDesign, color schemes and stock photography…
InDesign master pages do not like tables. I tried creating a table that would house a publication’s name in one cell and the page number in the next cell but InDesign would NOT let me size the cell with the automatic text correctly. I finally gave up when it was corroborated by a good 10+ designers who agreed: InDesign hates tables on masters. In the process of trying to get it to work I learned a keyboard shortcut though – hitting ESC while in a cell will alternately highlight the text within it and the entire cell. BOOYAH.
I’m working on a project right now that has the most ridiculous list of criteria ever. It has to simultaneously be: A4 & Ltr size; formatted for screen, office printing and professional printing; have even margins with or without a bleed (which is actually physically impossible lol); and cook you breakfast. I’ve got everything down except the b@stard keeps burning my waffles.
A friend sent me this link that I thought you’d appreciate: http://colorschemedesigner.com/
