Alright so here’s the deal. I created a folder on the architecture server* for our publication. To get there, please do the following:
1. find a Mac
2. open FINDER and hit “apple + k”
3. choose “caed1.calpoly.edu”
4. select “shared”
5. login using your my.calpoly username and password
6. search for the folder entitled “00_Arch_400.” [it’s highlighted in bright green].
Ok I’m in the folder! Now what do I do???
The folder is subdivided into three folders
1. 01_InDesign
a. this folder contains three identical files, “01_Publication_A,” 02_Publication_B,” and “03_Publication_C.” Every time you modify one of the files, please “SaveAs” over the two files as well. We will have three identical files [in the event of a corrupted file or InDesign crashing etc…]
2. 02_Linked files
a. this is where you put all of the images that you’ll “Place” from InDesign. Please make all of your files TIFFs and preferably 300 dpi. Please label and organize all of these images!!!
3. 03_Word docs
a. please include all of the text documents here…in it’s original state. This prevents, as Karen pointed out, any information from being lost in the InDesign file.
A few more notes on InDesign…
1. I created four layers: image, text, graphics, and comments. Please try to keep these in tact.
2. The margins and bleed marks: the red guides are for full bleed. Please extend all images to this border but keep in mind that it will be chopped off at the document bounds [the black border]. doesn’t make sense? I know, but just do it! It’s a lulu press thing… The purple margin within the document bounds is for the text. Please make sure all text does not extend pass this border.
3. That’s it! Go!!! Just put it out there! And feel free to make comments on each others’ work [make sure its in the “comments” layer].
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

*I just emailed Tammy [mac lab tech] about getting our own server for security reasons. I’ll keep you updated….

deric, i have a question.
maybe this is more of a general thing.
would it be good to have an arch 400 gmail account? right now, gmail offers almost 3gb of storage, and it would be kind of nice to have somewhere off-campus that everyone could have access to, and to which everyone would have the password. i do not think they set a limit on file sizes, either, so that might be nice.
i've actually already set one up (when we originally created the blog, since the blog required a gmail account at the time).
matt...from what i've heard from whitney and tom, you CAN access the server from off campus....
