Scribus video tutorial free#

in the header, do not write 'en-tête', but a real header (something like 'introduction'): again, it's not editable and we should say this from minute 1. do not put random text frames with random sizes on the page. if you show the font features, you should explain what they are for. in the character style, don't apply bold to a long text if you increase the font height, also increase the line spacing. if you show the paragraph effects, apply at least one of them (and warn the user that they are experimental) do not apply the centered text to the default paragraph style: only show formatting that looks good! put nice formatted text: the first frame is ok, but it should not be bold, blue and right aligned. use the menus and ctrl-alt-p, not the toolbar (the goal is to have the button back in the status bar at some time.)

add a quick introduction to the free scale / scale to frame in the image tab of the properties palette (content palette in 1.5.6svn) trigger the 'adjust frame' to image after showing it use an image that has a big enough resolution for the size of the frame (avoid the dpi warning in the lower right corner of the frame) do not use copyrighted / trademarked images and logos in your tutorials (only use images that are cc-by mention the sources.) drag and drop from a file manager or an image viewer double click on the empty image frame (also fast) do not use the context menu for loading the image. for each of them feel free not to follow my hints or to ask for explanations if somethings looks bizarre. there are reasons for each of them, but - to keep it short - i do not explain them. I make a list of things i noticed while looking at your videos. most of the time, have the properties palette (and/or the content palette) docked to the right of the window (or the left, if you prefer) make sure that the content you're showing is nice! put the tools toolbar on the left side of the scribus window hide all the toolbars but the 'tools' one. I only watched at the videos without the sound and this is my feedback.

I like the format of your very short tutorials!
