How to Design your Desk Calendars With Adobe InDesign Using Newprint Template

1. Download the calendar template. Go to the Desk Calendars page and choose your product options. Once you have chosen your last option scroll down and click on the Zip icon to download the template.

This Zip file has three InDesign files:

- cover pages template

- inside pages template with blank pages, in case you want to create your own design from scratch

- inside pages template with the calendar already set up

2. Place your design on the Your Design layer. Do not modify the document dimensions.

3. All design elements that are supposed to go to the edge of the paper must be extended to the bleed line.

4. Keep all the important design elements (text, logos etc.) within the safe zones.

5. If you use images in your design they must be set to 300ppi resolution and to CMYK colour mode.

6. All lines should be at least 0.25pt.
