Before you start building any application, you should draw or list the elements that will make up the application,
noting which elements are static and which elements are variable. You need to consider:
• What data is needed to drive the application?
• How will the data be used?
• What conditional logic will you apply to your design?

For example, consider the field LowerBannerAd. This could contain the variable lower banner ad image, such as
bags_27x7.jpg. But by making this a numeric value, this field can drive several conditional logic tests that will
place the lower banner image and drive the marketing message for that item.
A design decision was made to use QR codes with images related to the products. These QR codes (with the
www.xerox.com URL) were created offline and are called in as images. FreeFlow VI Design Express can generate
its own QR codes but cannot insert images into them.

Follow these steps:
1. Once you understand how the application goes together, the next task is to generate the artwork and the
sample data file.
2. Once that activity has been completed, open Adobe InDesign.
3. The application is designed to print to a 30" x 40" sheet. Use the InDesign Page Setup menu to define

4. This application uses a static background. Anyone familiar with Adobe InDesign can use the available tools
and artwork to create the background. To save time, open the Otohime_VI_Retail_Cleverlands_Start.indd
file. This has all the background elements in a layer called Background.
