Description:



Banner

A. We publish an automotive advertising magazine; advertising for auto
dealership.
B. Page types in the magazine consist of three basic types
1. Full display (this is where the dealers name and other graphics are displayed
on the page, but also we normally place 12-15 max photos of different cars on
the page with short description of the vehicle These descriptions are standard
descriptions but each vehicle may have more features that others (example Auto,
A/c, F/power, AM/FM, Cruise, Tilt, etc)
2. Double Truck Display (two full pages) for one dealer but when you open the
magazine it spreads across like it was one big page. All of the same info is on
this page as the (1) example of page.
3. Photo Ad this is a single photo of one vehicle with standard descriptions but
there would be 24 single photo to the page.
C. We create the magazine page layout in adobe indesign ( believe) we create the
graphics in Photoshop for the page
D. Our sale people take the photo’s of each dealers vehicles and note the
features on the vehicles, the photos and descriptions of vehicle, type, year
model and feature are all give to our graphic designer.
Process from what I know (since I am not a graphic designer)
A. She resizes the photos for each dealership moves then to the indesign page
layout that is for that type of dealership
B. Then she types in the standard description (features) for that vehicle until
all the photos are on the page
C. Either the graphics have been completed on the page are she creates the
graphics and then saves the page as a PDF to be sent to the printer.
We do about 100 of the pages each week before being printed for the new magazine
issue.
A. What I am looking for is a program or script that can be written which will
interface with either adobe photoshop or adobe indesign that will automate this
process of resizing the photos to match the space setup on the magazine template
that we are using (we will have several different sizes since each page layout
have different size space for vehicle on that page or even two different size
spaces.
B. Then that script or program (or) a different script that will move the
selected photo to the different spaces on the page.
C. Plus move the selected standard features text description to the same space
or a space below the photo of the correct photo ( I would think that when you
select photo you would select the standard text to be moved also)
Then she would add and special description manually and or finish graphics on
the page and save the page as a PDF
I have included a sample of the 24 photo loyout but part of it is cutoff but you
can see what it looks like. And I have included a one page Full display ad for
you to see.
