“Practical, real world info combined with a good general overview. Brian had the ability to provide useful info to both advanced and entry-level students.” —Duncan Campbell
InDesign is Adobe’s advanced publishing software suited for the creation of graphics-intensive documents. As the industry standard for layout design, InDesign is tightly integrated with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat. It provides unparalleled precision and control as a production tool, including incredibly sophisticated typographic functions, multi-page management, and table building features.
Starting with an overview of the InDesign workspace and its relationship to the rest of Adobe’s Creative Suite, students will use instructor-led projects to learn how to set up publications, import graphics and text, and build pages and tables. At the conclusion of this two-day workshop, students will know the benefits of master pages, type style management and type-fitting techniques, and the use many time-saving shortcuts.
Familiarity with the Mac operating system is recommended (but not required), and no earlier experience with InDesign is necessary.
