by Ron Kurtus (3 July 2012)

Take this Mini-Quiz to check your understanding of the lesson material.

1. Why do you create individual parts of a cover separately?

It is a requirement in InDesign

No one has ever tried to make a full cover at one time

So that you can use them for other applications of cover

2. What would happen if you did not include a bleed area in your cover?

It might not print properly

Nothing much, since it is just a tradition

Colors would be distorted

3. What other uses are there for the front cover image?

You can use it for other books

It could be used in flyers, on you website, or in promotional material

The image is used inside your book

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in using InDesign. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
