What do you learn on this Adobe InDesign Training Course?
You will learn how to create spreads and layouts from scratch and how to edit existing InDesign documents. We appreciate that many people inherit files from earlier times so we cover how to update and edit text and images in those documents. During the course you’ll work with a variety of different documents including flyers, newsletters, brochures, social media design and produce publications for both digital media and print.
The course shows how to design, edit and produce professional publications and the importance of incorporating brand into your work.
We work with colour, images and logos to make sure each InDesign document is professionally output to print by working with print press and colour management. Right from the start you will learn how to set up documents using printer marks, page setup and understand print terminology such as slug and bleed.
You will then set up documents using text and images to build your page content. Depending on your document criteria InDesign provides different ways to work with text and you will find out how to place, thread and manipulate text using styles and format options.
You will work with both photos and vector artwork during the course and learn how to precisely position images in InDesign text and also apply various text wrapping options to add design impact to the document.
As part of the course take a very light look at Photoshop where you will learn to crop, resize, remove white backgrounds on images for use in InDesign. Finally when all content has been added, edited and enhanced and preflight checks have been completed the documents will be published to print or exported to PDF.
