Adobe InDesign PDF Interactive Course

Training seems to go round in circles – one month it’s full of Photoshop Training another its InDesign Courses and May has been no different. It has been full with InDesign Interactive PDF courses. I seemed to have travelled from the heart of the Midlands, up to Yorkshire, down to London and just about everywhere else in between this last month.

So what is InDesign PDF and what are the main reasons for people requesting training in it.

As with most things in life the main reason people learn PDF is to save money and there are huge financial benefits to sending your company literature out either by email or via a link online. Straightaway the benefits are obvious –

Financial savings with PDF

The most of obvious savings are the huge postage costs immediately slashed and your paper and ink bills also slashed.

What is a PDF?

Using PDF means you can create and distribute your own digital documents. These can be as simple as plain text with links for navigating the document or creating and designing a more creative interactive document such as a newsletter, brochure or slideshow. Working with InDesign gives you the ability to create very visually appealing and professionally presented .PDF documents for export.

Illustrator Tutorial, Crop Tool

One of the questions I get asked on Illustrator Training Courses is ‘How do I crop an Image in Illustrator’?  Quite simply in earlier versions the answer was you can’t. We used clipping masks and workarounds in those early versions. 

However that’s all changed in Illustrator CC because now it comes fully equipped with a crop tool

Photoshop Animated GIF Tutorial

One of the main interests in Photoshop Training now is how to interact with social media. How to create banners for Facebook, Twitter, PinInterest and many more. The answer often lies with animated GIFS which are really simple to create in Photoshop. In this tutorial we will create an animated colour for a ficticious flower shop showing the different colours of the tulip’s they currently have in stock. Incidentally we’re going to be very exotic with the colour choices – I’m not too sure if tulips actually come in shades of purple.

Adobe Lightroom Training – for schools

It was recently a great pleasure to deliver an Adobe Lightroom Course combined with an Adobe Photoshop course to a school in Lincolnshire. This was for the Photography and Media departments who were particularly interested in looking into Lightroom CC to add features to their school curriculum later this year. The approach to this Adobe Lightroom Training was quite simple – a basic overview of its tools and tabs and how it could be adapted for straightforward use for their students.

There were three people on the Adobe Lightroom Training in Lincolnshire and with differing skill-sets and areas of interest it was decided to split the day up into two with the Adobe Photoshop Training in the morning and Lightroom Course in the afternoon.
