Greenbox Slices

Getting Started

• All files needed to slice for Greenbox can be found here data/CREATIVE/QUEST DIAGNOSTICS/TEMPLATES/DIGITAL/Greenbox
• All slices for Greenbox need to be made in a similar fashion to ensure consistency throughout the site.
• Although a lot of the files are not named how you will see described below we are going to start naming things in a more consistent fashion going forward so please refer to this section if you have any questions on how to name a file.
• Each time a new piece of creative is sliced for Greenbox, 5 images (single sided) 9 images (double sided) are needed to go to the programming team

1. Enlarged
2. Enlarged Markup
3. Regular
4. Thumb
5. Thumb Markup

Please refer to table below for sizing/file naming for each of these five items.

Steps for Creating Slices

1. Open the final InDesign document
2. Save file in two places. Name both files job#-FIN-[description]-Markup.indd (We like to keep job number as a reference for the future) to a folder called "Working File" in the appropriate Greenbox slices folder (data/CREATIVE/QUEST DIAGNOSTICS/TEMPLATES/DIGITAL/Greenbox/Slices) as well as the BUILD folder in the respective job.
3. Now you can go ahead and customize the layers in your INDD to use in aiding the slicing process.
4. Make a layer called "Stroke" and add a 1pt black rule
5. Make a layer called "Markup." Here we will add circle to the customizable areas of the piece. Please do not change the point size of the fonts or strokes on the circle. For a model of how the markup should be made, please refer to data/CREATIVE/QUEST DIAGNOSTICS/TEMPLATES/DIGITAL/Greenbox/Slices/IAR Letters/Printed/Working Files/IAR-AllLetters-Copy_Markup.indd.
6. Two jgps can now be exported, one with the the "stroke" layer as well as the "markup" layer on and one with the "stroke" layer only
