InDesign: Masterpage

Notes
To create a Master page double click on the page inserts on the right side tools, it then switches to viewing the selected page in the main section. 
Then any elements can be added such as grids, images, headers etc. that can then be transferred across to every new page added from the master page.
A new master page can be added from the icon in the top corner of the same tool box.
You can't edit any features outside of the master page unless you use command & shift which enables you to unlock an item.
A place holder image is a good thing to include in a design that your working on if you haven't yet got all the actual final images as it gives you an idea of how it will look on the page and the space it is filling.

I tried out some of the things we had learnt such as creating a master page and typing along a path.  Working in the Master page I tried adding an image and title. If you used this in a real design every page you insert from the master page would have the same appearance.

I switched to working within the page where I could work around the design.

Creating a new master page.

Type along a path: Using the pen tool I drew a rough path along the shape of the bird, then using the type along the path tool, clicked on the path and could create type along the line.
