Before we jump into the course, let's take a look at what we are going to be creating.
Before we start creating our design let's take a look at the document we will be using to create it in. And by the way, we will be using the same document settings throughout the course so it's a good idea to create one, template document and just reuse it.
If you want to work along with me, you will find all the exercise files in this folder > https://1drv.ms/f/s!An0CGZcqArLWgUvAl8XurI7K1a9f
