Make document variable

Let's add a frame
Initially, an added frame, or imported from Adobe Indesign, will have absolute coordinates, width & height.
Let's make these coordinates variable
The X-position (left side of the frame): -6 px. Why -6? The document has a "bleed" of 6px. This would be usefull if you will also use this document for print output. If you don't intend to output to print, you can set the bleed to 0, and the x-position will be 0px.
The Y-position (distance from the top of the document reference): -6px, similar reason as X-position.
Width: We can now use formulas (by clicking on the formula button) and write page.width+12px (we need to add 12 px, to compensate for the 2 x 6p bleed)
Height: Page.heigt+12 px, same as the document + the compensation for the bleed
From now on, the image frame will keep the same size as the document.
We'll add an image
When adding an image, you must choose a "fitting". Will the image fit proportional (inside) or proportional outside?
We choose to fit proportional outside. Meaning, we'll loose some image, but the frame is always filled, without loosing the proportions.
Because the frame is tied to the size of the document, the image inside the frame will also resize with the document resizing. And, the proportional fit will remain.
Adding more elements
From here on, it's up to you to add even more elements. You choose where these elements align on, and how they should behave.
CopyFitting
When combining features like a dynamic frame size, and e.g. Copyfitting, you can have the text grow in proportion to the Add size.
Output
You're Add is now ready to be exported.
Just set the output size you want, choose the output settings, and your add is ready to be created.
