Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Create a 3-fold brochure” using Inkscape.
00:05	In this tutorial, we will learn to:
00:08	Use guidelines and to set them
00:10	Settings for a 3-fold brochure
00:12	Design a 3-fold brochure.
00:15	We will also learn the importance of using layers.
00:18	To record this tutorial, I am using:
00:21	Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS
00:24	Inkscape version 0.48.4
00:28	This is a sample 3 fold brochure. As we open it, we can see the 3 folds.
00:34	So, there are 6 sections in all.
00:37	The outer side contains sections 1, 5 and 6.
00:42	The inner side of the brochure contains sections 2, 3 and 4.
00:46	Let us learn how to create a brochure like this one.
00:51	Open Inkscape.
00:53	Click on File and go to Document Properties.
00:56	Let's do some basic settings first.
00:59	Change: Default units to mm
01:03	Page Size to A4
01:05	Orientation to Landscape
01:07	Custom Size Units to mm.
01:11	We have to divide the canvas into 3 folds.
01:14	For that, observe that the width of the canvas is 297.
01:18	So, we have to divide 297 into 3 parts which is 99 for each of the three sections.
01:27	Close the Document Properties dialog box now.
01:30	Click and drag a guideline from the left side onto the canvas.
01:35	Double-click on this guideline.
01:37	A dialog box opens up.
01:41	Change the value of 'X' to 99 and click on OK.
01:45	Click and drag another guideline from the left side onto the canvas.
01:50	Double-click on it to open the dialog box.
01:53	Here, change the value of X to 198.
01:56	Now our canvas is divided into 3 equal sections.
02:01	These guidelines tell us where each fold will start and end.
02:06	Let us save this file twice:
02:08	One for the inner side of the brochure
02:11	and the other for the outer side.
02:13	Go to File and click on Save as.
02:16	I will save the file on my Desktop with the name Brochure-OUT.svg.
02:22	Once again go to File and click on Save as.
02:26	This time, I will give the name Brochure-IN.svg and click on Save.
02:33	So, now we have 2 files- one for the inner section and one for the outer section.
02:39	Let us start with Brochure-IN.svg.
02:43	As we go about creating this brochure, it is desirable to use different layers for different elements.
02:50	Towards the end of this tutorial, we see the benefits of doing so.
02:54	Let us first design the inner sections of the brochure i.e. sections 2, 3 and 4.
03:00	Using the Bezier tool, draw a graphic illustration in the middle of the canvas. Color it blue.
03:09	Remove the stroke.
03:14	Create a new layer and name it as you prefer.
03:19	Create a circle of 150X150 pixels.
03:26	Color it green.
03:28	Duplicate the circle and create 5 more circles of different sizes as shown.
03:36	Place them around the graphic illustration as demonstrated.
03:40	Inside these circles, we will place some images.
03:44	I have already edited the images to a circular shape and saved them in my Documents folder.
03:50	For your convenience, these images have been provided to you in the Code files link.
03:56	Pause the tutorial, click on the link and save these images to your preferred location.
04:02	After this, resume the tutorial.
04:04	Go to File, click on Import and then on Image1.
04:09	Keep it on top of the first circle.
04:12	In a similar way, repeat the steps for the other 5 images.
04:17	Align them using Align and Distribute option.
04:20	Now, your canvas should look like this.
04:25	Next create a new layer.
04:28	Select the Bezier tool and draw an arrow.
04:34	Color it gray.
04:38	Remove the stroke.
04:41	Go to Filters menu. Select Shadows and Glows and then click on Drop Shadow.
04:47	Check on Preview box to notice the effect.
04:50	Now click on Apply. Close the dialog box.
04:55	Keep it on the top of the first circle in an overlapping manner, as shown.
05:01	Duplicate this arrow twice to create 2 more arrows.
05:05	Keep them on 2nd and 3rd circles respectively, as shown.
05:10	Now, all the graphic elements are done.
05:13	We will now insert the relevant texts.
05:15	On the new layer, type “Introduction” on the first arrow.
05:20	Type Features on the second arrow.
05:24	Type Usage on the third arrow.
05:28	Now, we have to insert the text under each of these sections.
05:33	I will copy and paste the texts from a LibreOffice Writer file that I have saved already.
05:40	This file is available to you in your saved folder.
05:43	Please locate it and copy the text from it.
05:47	Then paste it as shown on a new layer.
05:50	Reduce the font size to 15 and align them using Text and Font option.
05:55	Create a bullet of green color using the ellipse tool.
05:59	Place it to the right of the first sentence.
06:02	Repeat the same process for all the sentences.
06:05	Now the inner part of the brochure is ready.
06:08	Let's press CTRL + S to save our SVG file.
06:12	Now you can hide or show the layers that you want in the final brochure.
06:18	Let us now save the same file into PDF.
06:21	Go to File, click on Save As.
06:24	Change the file extension to PDF.
06:29	Click on Save.
06:31	A new dialog box appears.
06:34	For printing purpose, the resolution must be 300.
06:37	For web, it can be 72.
06:40	Let me keep it as 300.
06:42	Now click on OK.
06:44	Let us now change the opacity of the arrows.
06:47	Go to the Arrow layer and change the opacity of the layer to 70.
06:52	I have also added a new layer with ink-blots.
06:58	Save the file in SVG and PDF formats.
07:04	Compare the 2 'pdf's to understand the difference.
07:08	Next, let us create the outer part of the brochure.
07:12	Go to File. Click on Open.
07:14	Select Brochure-OUT.svg.
07:18	Now we have to design the sections 1, 5 and 6.
07:22	Once again, remember to use different layers for different elements.
07:28	Draw a graphic illustration on the top left using the Bezier tool as shown.
07:33	Color it blue. Remove the stroke.
07:36	Import Spoken Tutorial logo which is in your saved folder.
07:40	Reduce the size and place it on the top left corner of the 1st section.
07:46	Type Spoken Tutorial and align it to the right of the logo.
07:51	Change the font size to 25.
07:54	Draw a circle below the text and color it yellow.
07:58	Import Inkscape logo.
08:00	Place it on the top of the yellow circle.
08:03	Type “Inkscape” below the logo. Change the font size to 45.
08:09	I have added details about Spoken Tutorial project and inserted the relevant logos.
08:15	Please do so likewise.
08:17	I have aligned all the elements using
08:19	Text and font
08:21	and Align and Distribute options.
08:24	Now the outer side of the brochure is ready.
08:28	Go to File. Click on Save As.
08:31	Change the format to SVG and click on Save.
08:37	Repeat the same process.
08:39	Change the extension to PDF.
08:41	Click on Save.
08:43	This is our completed brochure.
08:46	If you have used layers for the various elements then you can conveniently change the colours and opacity.
08:54	These are 2 other colour schemes that I have created for the same brochure.
09:00	Let us summarize.
09:02	In this tutorial, we learnt to:
09:04	Use guidelines and to set them
09:07	Settings for a 3-fold brochure
