Onsite Adobe InDesign Training Courses
Onsite Adobe InDesign Training offer a range of benefits including flexibility and cost effectiveness. They are a great way to train one or more staff members at times and dates that suit your company with course content relevant to your business.
What is onsite InDesign training?

What can I do with InDesign?
Introduction to InDesign
On the Introduction to Adobe InDesign Training you’ll produce layouts using features such as paragraph styles to control the look of the text (headers, subheads, body) across a number of pages.
For instance in the example below you can see how the layout mood changes just by changing images from black and white to colour or adding a contrasting colour to the look.
On the Introduction course we create a range of different designs featuring mood, colour and type.
We introduce you to features such as CC Libraries which do exactly as they say on the can – they can include images, text, styles and colours which work across multiple documents.
Ideal for branding.
Adobe Capture and InDesign
We include Adobe Capture (find our more about Adobe Capture) and the rest of the Adobe family letting you add, share and save mobile assets to the library. Perfect if you’re out and about and need to share with colleagues elsewhere.
What are InDesign Assets?
Assets are various types of artwork /media /video and audio that are gathered into one central panel and used in all the Adobe applications.
For example: work with your photos in Photoshop then add them to the CC library where they can be used in InDesign, Illustrator or even video editing software such as Premier Pro and After Effects.
Or on the reverse side of that you could create a short video in Premier Pro, add it the library then place it into an InDesign Interactive document.
InDesign & Interactive Documents
InDesign also gives you the opportunity to design and publish various interactive files including PDF and ePubs. With PDF interactive documents you can add images, videos and audios then connect them elsewhere using hyperlinks and navigation buttons.
You can design and publish print documents such as flyers, brochures and newsletters quickly and easily and then with the use of CC Libraries, Swatches, Templates share assets and documents across the Creative Cloud.
Adobe InDesign Intemediate Training
Those with experience of InDesign could need to work with longer documents, such as tenders, books and catalogues by making use of InDesign automative tools such as Table of Contents, Indexing and Parent (Master) pages.
A very short history of InDesign
InDesign was born on the 31st of August 1999 but it origins belong with Aldus. These were a small company based in Seattle who created some of the first image editing and DTP software for computers. One of these peices of software was PageMaker originally released in 1985 that worked with the MAC point & click method of the time. PageMaker quickly became popular and in 1990 was considered cutting edge and advanced publishing software.
It was actually way more than that it was a revolution at the time.

Fast forward a bit and Adobe arrived and bought PageMaker. It became serious contender to QuarkXpress which was gaining ground at this time. I think, if memory serves and without Googling we were working with Quark 3.3 at this time. So as is the way of all things PageMaker became redundant and Adobe released InDesign in 2000 as stand alone software.
Over time they bundled it with Illustrator and Photoshop and the rest, as they say is history.
Online InDesign Training Courses
We also run Online InDesign Courses held with a live instructor in a virtual training. This means you have live contact with your trainer thoughout your course by video, audio and screen sharing in real-time.
All our digital design courses are now available online. If you have any questions about our Online Adobe Training Course please don’t hesitate to pick up the phone or send us an email.
