Desktop Publishing Course

Late Spring Dates coming soon, , Onsite

 

Desktop Publishing Course  

During December we will be re-running the Adobe Desktop Training days for small businesses.  Instead of outsourcing Desktop Publishing work to external designers or studios why not take the cost effective route by learning Desktop Publishing and bring all your business design inhouse.

 

Our Desktop Publishing Training course shows you and your staff how to use Desktop Publishing Software effectively.  Learn to use Adobe InDesign for layout, produce your own flyers, newsletters, promotional material and other business literature.  Work with Adobe Photoshop to improve and gently manipulate images to add high impact visuals to your InDesign layouts.

I learnt more in those few hours.. than I have by spending hundreds of hours trying to fathom out the programme !! amazing !! and your knowledge IS incredible no wonder you work for so many PLC's ..and the great thing is you are happy to bring that knowledge to an individual ..Thank You So Much ..
