## The Workflows

### In a few steps:
1) Find the image that you want to turn into a button
2) Format the image you want using an Indesign template or the Slack to AirTable Workflow discussed below
3) Print out the formatted button
- Make sure you have the paper you want to print on in the printer drawer
- print to Bok Center Printer (don't forget to turn off Double-Sided printing if you are printing multiple pages)
4) Grab your printed out template and get button making!

### For formatting images you want as buttons:
#### Indesign Templates:
We have created 5 Indesign templates: one for a page with each button size and four templates filled with buttons of each size.
You can find them all on the LL studio Macs in the you can find all them on the studio macs in the iCloud Shared folder at this path: iCloud/Shared/_tools/adobe-indesign/button-templates/five-templates

**Here is what each template looks like for your quick reference:**

#### Slack to Airtable:
You can post any image to the slack channel you can post any image to the slack channel *#show-your-work* and it will automatically populate an Airtable with a page designer app that will print out that image in each of the button sizes.
