The document must conform to the following criteria: Intent: Web (This sets the units to pixels and the colour mode to RGB) Size: 1024 pixels by 768 pixels, with the following margins:
Top & Bottom: 44 pixels

The 44 pixels margins at the top and bottom of the page accomodate the default Table of Contents and Home Screen buttons when the user taps the screen. The 6 pixel right margin contains a vertical scroll bar that is permanently present. P&P | DPS single page brief.indd v1 | Paul Riddell | Feb 2012

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Your page needs to include a background, some headline and body text formatted with style sheets, and at least 4 images of which one must be a vector illustration. You will create a portrait (vertical) version of your layout and name it with the suffix ‘_v’ – for example: MyAd_v.indd. When you are happy with your portrait version, create a landscape (horizontal) version and name it with the suffix ‘_h’ – for example: MyAd_h.indd. To help you create your landscape version, copy the portrait version in the Finder, rename to ‘_v’, then open it in InDesign. Enable Layout>Layout Adjustment, then change the document orientation in the File>Document Setup... dialogue box. This will give you a starting point to rearrange the page elements to create a pleasing and functional layout. When you have created both your layouts, create a new Folio in the Folio Builder panel, create a new Article and add the _v and _h layouts you created. Preview in the desktop viewer.
