Layout build overview

- [Instructor] Okay, so it's time to actually start building the layout. And here's an overview of how we're going to be approaching that. We're going to start by creating a new document for the overall final document size. And while that perhaps sounds obvious, there is a twist. We're going to then create what I'm going to refer to here as the active area as another document that we'll be working in to start off with. We'll build a grid layout to work to. And then we're going to be populating the active area with images that we made in the last chapter along with some other elements. Then we'll be loading our active area document into the final document. I'll explain why as well that we're working this way as we go along. And then outputting the three different versions that we need to meet the brief. So now we know what we're doing. Let's get started.
