NOTE: I am working with a PC. If you are using a Mac, some of the steps may look different, trust your process of doing those things with your computer.
1. It would be super helpful if you have and understand how to use InDesign. Modules 1, 3, and 5 use InDesign exclusively. This is not a course on how to use InDesign. These modules have useful information and may be done with other programs, however, I am not an expert on other programs.
2. Your completed illustrations.
3. Your critiqued & edited manuscript.
4. Completed topography combining your illustrations and manuscripts.
