Taking inspiration from the 2023/24 Wolverhampton Wanderers programme, watch as Oscar customises the number of pages and columns for his programme, as well as setting the required margins and bleed.

Oscar also explains the different guide lines that are present on the page, going on to show you how to place and align a PSD file into InDesign to use as a front cover, and then how to improve the display performance to view the artwork in a higher quality.

This is the first video in a series which we will be releasing during the 2023/24 Premier League season, taking inspiration from the programmes of the 20 clubs and creating our own programme based on the designs and techniques that they have used.
