In this delightfully chaotic, laugh-filled bonus episode of The Short(er) List, we dive deeper into a hot topic in proposal document creation: InDesign Books. Designers Becky Ellison and Lauren Jane Peterson unpack when and why to use them, share tips to keep you sane, confess the joys and terrors of page numbering, and honor the sacred role of the all‑powerful ‘Keeper of the Book’. They also share real‑world war stories from huge AEC proposals, swap workflow hacks, and do their best to make sense of managing multiple people editing multiple files.
And because this is The Short(er) List, expect tangents including reading recommendations, animals, Lauren Jane’s incredible hair, and whether InDesign files have souls. (JK… kind of). It’s nerdy, it’s fun, and there’s something for everyone, whether you’re trying to stay up on InDesign best practices or just have a laugh with MO6’s graphic designers. And it makes a great companion to Episode 76: InDesign Rumble (Part 2)!
