    Hello friends,
    I’m trying to figure out how I can speed up my workflow on laying out some photo grid posters.

    This isn’t the exact sample but it is something like this but for college grads.

    The main design is the name of the department, the seal, head + shoulders of the graduates, and their names underneath their photo.

    Currently, my workflow is this
    1. Drag a photo box — create rows and columns with the arrow keys.
    2. Delete some photo boxes to make room for the department name, logo, class year
    3. Apply an object style to the photos (I still need to adjust manually but it gets me in the ballpark)
    4. Data Merge the names
    5. Copy the merged names into the photo grid layout
    6. Align photos and names
    7. Tweak photos some more

    Is there a script or plugin available to speed things up?
