1. 1: Introduction to the class: Hello, everybody. Thank you so much for joining my class or my name is Rachel. I am a self taught hand letter, graphic designer and, of course, planner, bullet journal enthusiast. I've been doing graphic design since way, way, way, way, way back in the MySpace days. I used to make layouts for people, so it's definitely been a passion off mine for a very long time. In this class, though, I'm going to be focusing on making your very own digital planner, because digital planning for me has helped out tremendously. As I travel a lot and the thought of bringing all of my markers, pens, washing tape stickers, it's just it's too much, and it's really hard to pick and choose what I'm going to be bringing. So with digital planning, all I really needed my iPad, my charger in my apple pencil. So I'm going to be teaching you all how to make your own. This one specifically is the one that I will be teaching you how to make. I have made all of these years, um, one that I did. That landscape here is one that I made a long time ago, and here's a weekly spread that I did. It's just so much fun to get creative in my digital planner. So I look forward to teaching you all how to make your own from start to finish. What you will be learning in this class is how to build a digital planner from start to finish in keynote how you will be able to add links so all of these are links that work. You will be learning how to export into good notes. When you are finished making your planner in keynote. And of course, I will offer a few freebies. I will be offering my doc grid. My well blank paper is a given when we will be making our planners and I will be offering my lined paper as well as my calendar lay out like this. So all you need to do is either grab your iPad and get into the Kino app or you can use your Mac. I will be using my desktop version of Kino because it is easier for me. But you could do the same things. So instead of clicking, you're tapping instead of right, you know, kill King Copy. You're doing ah hard press to get that copy. It's all pretty much the same. So hope has all joy. Well, let's jump on in to you. Our first class. Thank you. So I hope you guys all enjoy and without further to do, let's jump right on it. 2. 2: building your planner: All right. So the first thing what we're gonna do is open up. Keynote. I'm doing this on my I, Mac. Just you guys are where it can be done on your iPad. Just take what you've learned from you doing out on my Mac and use it on your iPad. But I highly recommend using an I Mac, if you have one, because it's just a lot easier this way. So I always choose a white presentation. No, I just delete days by clicking on them my delete button. Now, before we get into making a planner, I wanted to just say that you can use a background image. I will show you that right now I give you wanna have a desk? You'll you can just use an image of a dusk and then go in and make the shape planner. That's how you want it to be. You could do it that way. I'm not gonna be doing it that way. But I did want to know that you can. And that's how you would do that. You just bring an image in and then build your planner on top of that image. We're not going to do it that way. I'm not If you want to. Awesome. What? I'm gonna dio his make this full screen first and foremost, I'm gonna go into my shape section right here, and I'm gonna use this rounded rectangle. You can use a square if you prefer that. I just prefer the round rectangle to each his own. I wanna bring that up into the corner. I'm just dragging out and you see this line popped up. I'm gonna wait for this lying to pop up. That's going to give me that cross hair, because that's gonna say, OK, that's perfectly center. And I want my planner to be the entire in it the entire length of this screen. I do want my around it. It's just to be more up here. So I'm gonna take this little circle green circle right here, and I'm just going toe drag it over to you about right there. You don't have to do that. You can do it. You could make it more or less. This is all about your planner and what you want. I hope you do not want this planter to be blue. Pink is my favorite color. So that is gonna be my choice. I'm gonna go over, make Sharman style and my color fill. I'm going to choose a great Aunt Phil. You can have ah, one color. You can have it put an image, although you're not. Probably be able to see it because this is just like Bo the out outer part of your planner . Like the hardcover part. They're not gonna see that. So I'm gonna shoot ingredient film and I'm going here, and I have my colored pencils chosen. But you can I don't know what exactly is gonna pop up for you even just do any you want. You can also, if you know the hacks a decimal called code for the calorie. What could type that in? So I'm going to use a pink. Well, that's more purple. E go back up here and shoes. A p cannot like a whoa in your face paint, but that's the That's just what immunity. Pink and orange. I love those colors together. Just perfect. So this is selected. I'm gonna hit command, see? And that's gonna copy this image. You can also go up to edit and hit coffee and then edit and hit paste, but we're gonna use keyboard shortcuts because it just makes it easier. So Hit command, See? And I'm gonna get me envy and that's gonna copy that image. And I'm just gonna make this a little smaller and because I can't see it because it's the exact same thing. I'm just gonna move my mouse around and find that great there my cross here. And I know that's perfectly centered. And then I might go into my border, do a line border, make that a one, go into my line right here and give this of on dash lines. So it looks like that stitch feel I'm gonna then hold my command button down, go to this first image and click it's And so both of these air selected. Now I'm gonna go over to arrange and I'm gonna group those togethers another just one image and to go back. I just hit Command Z and it takes him back. You can also go into edit and undo whichever you want to dio I'm doing like I said for cuts . It's just easier Next I'm gonna do my paper. We up every planner boot bullet journal needs paper So I'm gonna go into my shapes again with some I'm going to use this square, and you can either drag this out to make one image. You want blue paper, purple paper, pink paper, black paper? It doesn't matter. I'm going to go traditional over year and choose what's so. You can do it this way and give this the look of being two pieces of paper. Even though it's only one image, you would go back into your shape tool. Hit this square, Go lining up to the top of your paper. Mine it, Joan. Make sure black and then just make this super skinny and then you can find lost their It's perfect. And see of now it looks like it's two pieces of paper, you know, delete that and delete that because the second way you can do it is bring this up, leaves down and do just to patients. So I'll copy this just bigger sleep that happy about right there, I'm going to give these a shadow before I forget. I'm just doing you a simple drop shadow, and if I want to give this a look of having several pages, I would just copy and paste this and just drag it over a little bit. Copy paste that drag that over a little bit. And now it looks like there's two pages on each side. The next thing we're gonna dio is the binder rings And where are you? Were almost finished with having nothing. Meat and potatoes of our planner Super simple. And I hope that you guys are following along We're gonna go into our rounded rectangle I'm gonna make this skinnier and bring it up to about right there and then bring it over here. I think I want mine to have a greedy int Michael White And that peak so kind of looks like light is reflecting middle back into my shape Tool, anger of my circle I'm gonna hold shift so it's gonna make a perfect circle Make that black bring it up here and to get it behind, uh, ring itself. I'm gonna go to arrange and click backward, and it's gonna take it behind that image. I'm gonna copy that command, see, and then command V to paste. And it's so the single thing, what you know is that don't give you those lines. So you know that you're even so that I'm gonna bring that backwards. I think circles are still full. Too big, too small. Its share was two biggest. So small. All right, I think I think that looks good to go back over here. Copy that Paste over here. Make sure it's backwards when I'm when I'm hitting my whole command and all of these, all three lease and then group them together under a range. I'm a copy. Command C command V to paste a man in the hold. Oops. Old man tapped thes hit Copy and paste again and again keynotes gonna tell you how far with these guides just paste away. And then I'm gonna hold command. Click on all of these and we're gonna group those together as well. No, I did offer my dot grid that I made as, ah, download. You couldn't bring that in right now. I will. In the next glass. I'll bring that in and show you all of that. But that is pretty much them skeleton. We have ourselves a planner. Finally X class. We're gonna let get into tabs and linking and all that fun stuff. So I'll see you the next class 3. 3: tabs/preparing to link tabs: Now we get to move on to making tabs for our planner again. We're gonna go into the shape you can choose whatever shape you want. I'm sticking with my rounded rectangle and I am putting my tabs. I'm inside. You can put him on the sides on top Where ever You want some kind of getting a shave? Where is just keep clicking. So it goes behind that sex age. I want this tab to be, uh, thank I'm just gonna go turquoise. Why not gonna give this a drop shadow? Can you see community witness to my now But that going and it gives me that lie. And I think that I'm just gonna wait, bring them back. So what months? January, February, March, April, May. She knew, uh, and I think I'm actually these two. And you can also use the arrows on your keyboard, man and select all of these. And for right now I'm gonna group them because I can make Baker. I'm all right. Total 12. I can dio that. I'm gonna bring it out about the urge and then bring those back again. Make sure you're watching. So it's behind those two pieces of paper and then you want to on group? I'm not say over here. Did this Dame Dang actually on the copy? This one sighs I want and then say that I want these to be something whatever I want them to say. And they could be longer slept all those commanding oh group ackwards Make sure behind papers. Well, that's where you want to be that you can have as many as you want me little bits. I just need you for for the purpose of I don't even know what I'm gonna put there And then I'm gonna unhurt those. I'm going to name the use, So I'm gonna go in my text, move over, bond that I want to use. I'm just gonna So I'm gonna go right here in my text. I'm just gonna keep it the way it is. If you do plan on selling your planners, make sure the text here using is you can use it for commercial use or you've paid for the font and are able to use it. Commercial commercially. Is that can be a problem if you're using a fun that you're not supposed to use for commercial use so just make sure that it's free for commercial use or you've paid Teoh use that. So I was gonna type out what I want. I'm gonna go to a range that at a 90 degree angle and the new let's that be too big. So probably in line it 20 to save. We'll just continue to do that again. So 20 arrange 90 degrees. - Okay , now that is done. We're gonna for adding thes. So I know I need at least 12 pages from my months and four pages for my others. We're gonna press, so bring the links. And so 12 13 14 15 16. Don't know that I need 16 different pages. So we're gonna go in here and make 16 the link pages. So hit this plus sign right here as slide and go down here blank. I'm just be fun burning in a minute on that is preparing us. You're ready to go into making those links 4. 4: linking tabs correctly: we're finally ready to make our links. Now, this is going to be the most complicated thing about making your digital planner. So I'm gonna try to go over a easiest way. So I'm gonna go slow, follow direction because you can get easily messed up in your links. Congee get just square bold. So but once you get the hang of it, it's it is really simple. It's just making sure that your links were going where you want them to go. So we'll take the step by stuck. And once you get into making your planner, it's just gonna become so easy for you. So my first page, I always leave the way. It is the way that I made it. Whether this be a doctored page or a line paper or blank page like we have it, I leave it as is so I can come back in and copy this and paste it if I need Teoh. So this always stays as is. And this is the page that we're gonna do our links on and to do so. I'm starting over here. I want thes pages to be in the front. I want my months to be at the end of my planner. So I'm gonna do my yearly view. I want that to be on page two or slide to some minute click on it on this tab, I'm gonna hold down control. Click it. Goto ad link and slide Go down here to slide and select two. And it's done this link. Well, now we're in your planner when you tap on it and it will take you to slide to Let's do it again my weekly I want on page three So I'm gonna click it old control on my keyboard Look it again and slide. Go to three pages. Will be four cation by You always just click down here on slide and go to your next split. What did I dio? Don't know what I did. You can click and see. Okay, that is on five. I don't know what happened. All I did to go back I hit Command Z on my keyboard and I went back to whatever happened, I'm going to just speed this up and do the same exact thing with all of these over here now . Our pages tabs, our tabs are linked. Teoh, our pages or slides their slides and you know they're going to be pages in good notes. So everything is linked. Now I'm gonna click, Just click on anything. The's white papers were great. Click on something in this Lanner go to edit, select all. And then I come in to see to copy. And then I'm going to command the which is gonna paste it in all of these. And you see what? I'm pacing it. All of these links are still there. So once we did it in that first initial page, it makes it a lot easier. Instead of doing it individually on every single page, we only had to link those pages once. Then I'm gonna come up here and edit and de Select All because I offered my doctorate page here and my calendar pages. We will do that. So I go to my pages and I know it's 234 four is gonna be my pages. Someone come into my square shape my rounded rectangle gonna hold shift and make this a little smaller. I'm gonna copy that. Command V and command, we are command seed copy command V to paste, and I'm gonna make three of them and I am going to give the drop shadow. So I'm gonna go into my style, give that drop shadow All three, though, And you comment here text and give this You write pages and she also do that procreate. But if you don't feel like hand lettering, everything are you. Hand lettering isn't your thing. You can use spot and this and just do pages right here and go. This will be my link paper on Little arrow resized that hold shift. If you hold command and moved by one of these nodes, you'll be able to turn it not a drop shadow and make that so blank paper This one's easy. All you have to do to make this white and there you have your blank paper and these are gonna be links. And that's going to take you to an actual blank paper spread. And then so will make this one doctor copy and paste that arrow. And then we will also before I start bringing in those pages will do lie paper. So I'm adding my doctorate in here so I'll show you if you click on this blue square that you have your shape on. Find my dot. For that, I'm including and just drag it in. It will drag it into this square. It will make it up, turn it into a mass and click done. And there's your doctor is my lined paper. I'm adding this in as well. Still, be able to have some papers. Oops. Make sure that you click on your square. Then you so around and there you go. So my pages four and you will get my doctor and my lined paper in this class so it will be under your projects. I'll be links to get those papers. So we're gonna turn these squares into links also. So on my links, More for my pages. I'm gonna go up here, add slide, and I'm gonna add a slide right under. Now. Doing this is not gonna mess up your links. Everything is going to move, so it's gonna be fine. Number five is no longer going to take you to where we had it set before, which I believe was January. That's not going to be number number six. So don't worry. Just follow and trust me, make a new slide right under your patient. I'm gonna go into one again, because this is where my just based planner spread is. I'm gonna click on it, make sure something is selected photo at it. Select Allman, a copy command. See, Go into that sly five Command V and paste that and because it's already Blake paper, I can just do nothing with that. And right along go into add slide again at another one, hit command V to paste it in photo edit de select all. And this is gonna be my doctor Red. So I'm gonna click on my paper and bring in my doctorate, and it's gonna mask that right into the paper, just like that were done. Do the same thing over here and we're done. We're going to make another slide. Paste this n at it, de select all. Look on that paper. This is gonna be my line paper. This paper was made for a different type of planner. So it's not completely accurate because I don't have my other paper on my desk. Top of this time, you will get the paper that will fit. It's a little done, Cassie. There's these lines over here, but don't worry You will get the correct paper size, were under the same thing over here. And then we can turn these into links as well. So we know that we're gonna click on our blank paper square control. Click hold down control and then click. Go to add link, slide like six. Seven. Remember, click it. Hold down control and click as linked. And this is gonna be eight. And all your other links are moving. So that's how you can add your page. I will do the calendar too, so we'll go to here. This is now nine. Want to bring in the calendar spread? But I'm also leaving for you guys. Move this around where you want it. I think this paper So it turns it into a mass that around drank it re even and it done. And let's say just like in the pages, you're not into hand lettering or calligraphy. You can add your months, the days right in here now. But first, because this is our calendar were to do this all the way down. We want to copy this, so make sure something is selected. Select all demand. The Turkmen sees a copy and then command V to paste this all the way down. Little edit de Select all. Yeah. You want Teoh meet. This makes all your months right now. Do not. By doing that, you can do your numbers. Everything right in so out This help next. We're going to bring this into good notes and that's the end. 5. 5: exporting planner into goodnotes: our planner is now complete. So the only thing we have left to do is take it from our dust cup to our ipads. If you're already doing this on the iPad, then you would just export it as a PdF file and open it into good notes. I'm gonna show you how I'm gonna bring my pdf file into my Ah, I've had. So you're gonna go to file export to and make sure it's pdf My image quality is at best, I hit next. I saved that as my final name. Keep in mind where I'm saving that file I'm waiting for to create a pdf file. Then I am going to go into my air drop, find my file, drag that into my iPad. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Over my iPad airdrop is telling me Do you want to accept this pdf file I had, except it's gonna ask me, where do I want to put it? I want to bring it into good notes. I'm just gonna put it in the uncapped ago rised section. And there is our beautiful planner that we just need from start to finish. All of these links are working correctly it may not look like these are going anywhere, but that's because it is the exact same page, over and over and over. So everything is working well. Click that went to the blink. Paged that one toe are Doc Currid. There's are lined paper. Everything is working, and it should be also working correctly for you.

I will respond as soon as I can and help you out as much as I can. 6. 6: class project: my class project for you guys is to create your planner and take a photo of it and show me what you've created. I just want to be able to see your background color that you chose for your planner, your tab colors and whatever page you want to show me. To do that, you can either screenshot a normal screenshot like so. Or you can tap on these three dots up here in the top right corner, have export click export current page. And just make sure your format is on image and hit export and saved camera roll. And now that's in your camera roll and you can upload your photo that way. So which ever way you want to do it? I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. This class has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone. I'm usually just doing ah lot of different shades of pink, but I absolutely love the pink with the orange with that teal blue color, I think it looks really good. So those classes actually helped me kind of step away from my normal pinks.
