The class files for day 5 are 2 different images explaining some general design principles you can pull up when teaching
Review foundational skills if needed (like place command, type tools, fitting and alignment tools, frames etc.) and any other tools/skills you think may be beneficial for the class (some ideas are how/where to find fonts, more advanced character/paragraph formatting etc.)
Give students the rest of the time to use the tools and skills they’ve learned from the previous days, along with the design principles to finish a project from a previous day or create a large format poster. You can show the students a gig poster, a funny motivational poster etc. for inspiration or let them find something they want to make.
If students want to create a new project, they can practice creating a large format poster to demonstrate InDesign’s ability to create large documents for print. When making the large poster some things you can go over:
Setting up a large document
Bleed
How to set it, how to use it, how it works, what full bleed is
How to change the page color (works well with using a full bleed)
Effects panel
Type on a path
Pen tool
Explain that they have the ability to submit their project for the class completion badge during class or they can take their time and submit later, as their project will be visible with their badge certification so they should make it look nice
