Arrange photos for a catalogue.

Place product photographs, logos and captions into a consistent page layout. Fit images inside frames, arrange the accompanying text and keep track of the artwork used in the document.

Give every product a clear place.

A catalogue spread needs a picture, a name and a short description for each item. Align the frames and repeat the same visual order across the pages.

Questions about this task.

Does placing artwork turn it into editable drawing objects?

Placed artwork stays in its graphic frame. Edit the source artwork in the appropriate application when it needs changing.

What should I check before sharing the project?

Keep the IDML and required linked graphics together, and inspect the links and text before exporting or handing off the layout.
