Adobe Masterclass for Catalogue Design
It was perfect, I had a great 5 days with Greta. My original objective was to create large corporate catalogues which was a bit daunting for me on day one. After five days I now feel confident about them with my knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
Thank you Greta

How do Adobe InDesign Advanced Courses work?
InDesign courses are delivered both online via Zoom, Teams or Google as fully interactive training sessions with a live instructor or can be hosted onsite at your premises for groups and individual sessions.
This next level Adobe InDesign Advanced Course aims to bridge the gap between print and digital. You’ll learn how to work with long documents for InDesign book publishing including catalogues, brochures, books and reports. Learn the best way to connect MS Office to import Word and Excel files. You can pick and mix from the content to create your own bespoke Adobe Training course by choosing to focus on the digital (Interactive PDF’s) side, work with long documents or both.
