Finalizing Proposal Pages: Contact Information, Photos, and Back Cover Design

In this video, we're going to finish up our final pages of the proposal. Let's go into our Pages panel, and currently, we're about two pages short. So, clicking on page 20 here, let's simply click the Create New Page button twice, and for pages 20 through 22, we're going to maintain Master A. Let's click on page 20 here, and for page 20, this is simply going to be a blank page, so we need to hold CTRL+Shift to select all of these items down here, including the two page numbers and the rectangle.

For page 20, we'll delete everything, and reduce the size of our bottom bar, then send it to the back by holding CTRL+Shift+[ so that page 21 appears above. If you don't see page 21, be sure to hold CTRL+Shift and make sure it's highlighted. Next, let's work on page 21.

On this page, it's going to be relatively simple, with some contact information and a picture. According to our Request for Proposal, we need the contact information of the individuals that should be contacted if there are any questions or concerns. So, let's simply utilize our Type tool, and we'll create a very simple text frame here and add the relevant information.

In this case, we'll add Clark Kent, Project Manager, and hit ENTER. We'll add his phone number, and hit ENTER, and finally his email. We'll then hit ENTER twice, and add our second individual, Artifree, Administrative Staff.

We'll then add her phone number, and finally her email. Next, let's briefly style this. We'll go to our Properties panel, and feel free to choose whatever you prefer. I'll choose the In-Text Style, and let's simply finish this page by adding a photo.

Utilize our Rectangle Frame tool, and we'll add a very simple photo here. I'm going to CC Libraries, and I'm going to choose this photo. Click and choose Fill Frame Proportionally.

Additionally, I may resize it just a little bit so it extends beyond the edge, and this looks good. This is a very simple contact page—very clear and to the point. Finally, we'll work on our back cover.

We'll hit W on the keyboard, and for this back cover, it's going to look a lot like our front cover. So, let's go to Pages and page 1, and from here, we're simply going to copy the details of page 1. Before doing so, however, it looks like we have a couple of issues, and they may be related to our baseline grid, which we added after creating our first page.

To fix this, let's first double-click and select our text frame. If we scroll down, let's unalign it from the baseline grid, and now it's back and centered. We have the same issue with our "Department of Public Works" text, so let's unalign it, and that looks much better. Finally, with this text here, we'll drag it out—this may have been changed based on one of the settings that we previously created.

So, let's now copy all of this, hit CTRL+C to copy, and then scroll all the way to the bottom to page 22. Let's hit CTRL+V to paste. We'll paste it here, right over the top, and it looks like this text is just a bit overset. We'll drag it out, and again, let's make sure it's unaligned from the baseline grid and resized in the corner.

From here, we can delete both "Department of Public Works, " and, holding Shift, we'll delete our photo. Then we'll use this remaining text and move it over to the right-hand side, holding Shift, and let's move it down just a bit—to right about here. Next, for this back page, we only need "Submitted To" and "Submitted By"—we don't need the address or the date, so we can use the Backspace key to remove them. Now, let's utilize our Selection tool and simply align it to the bottom. Additionally, we'll right-align the text, and hit W on the keyboard. On the left side, right here, let's add our logo just to fill up some of the space.

We'll go to CC Libraries, grab our logo, and drag it in. Then feel free to size it appropriately, as you see fit, and we'll add it right there. Alright, we've now completed all of the pages for our work. As a final check, let's simply scroll through all the pages to double-check and see if there are any errors.

We'll go to page 1 and simply look through all the pages, catching any mistakes. If we hit W on the keyboard, we can see what this will look like. I'm just going to extend the layout a bit—I think that looks a little bit better. Feel free to make any stylistic changes that you'd prefer, and I think we've now finished up our proposal.

So, let's hit CTRL+S on the keyboard to save our work, and in the next video, we'll export this document. See you there!
