    Hi,
    OK, I am a new member and this is my 1st post. I am a total newbie in InDesign.

    OK, I am following this tutorial. He is using CS5 and I am using CS6.

    Magazine Cover Design in InDesign

    1) In my case, in the Margins, you will see there are “Inside” and “Outside”. Is “Inside” and “Outside” similar to Left and Right or they are different?

    2) In the tutorial he kept the Left Bleed at Zero… Why?

    Thank you :)

    Hi. ‘Inside’ and ‘Outside’ refer to Facing Pages i.e a double-page spread set-up. It’s easier than specifying the left and right pages separately. If you uncheck ‘Facing Pages’ the margin options change to ‘Right’ and ‘Left’. Hope this is of some help. Regards.

    Hello again. The example is the front cover, so there would no left bleed. In reality, it would be done as a double-page spread with the back cover on the left. Is that what you mean?

    Thank you Mr. Monks.

    So front cover dont have any left bleed…

    I just started learning InDesign right now… So I don’t have any idea how actually the front and back is done side by side… May be I need to go to pages and create A-master and all…

    Just trying to design a single document front magazine cover at the moment :)

    Yeah. They’d need to print the front and back cover on the same sheet of paper, which would then be folded down the middle, so the only bleed would be at the top, bottom, left and right edges :o)

    Actually, it would be a little more complicated because you would need a thin trip between the front and back images to account for the spine.
