One of our most popular courses is the Introduction to InDesign Training Course and InDesign is possibly the most popular pieces of desktop publishing software on the planet. Being one of the major components of Adobe Creative Cloud means it integrates perfectly with the other apps apps such as Photoshop and Illustrator.
But what is Adobe InDesign exactly?
We’ve not just been delivering onsite Adobe training in Yorkshire recently. We have had a very busy month travelling around the UK delivering training courses but we have spent a lot of our time in the North.
So we’ve been to Brigg and York both well inside beautiful Yorkshire and then crossed the border into Grimsby in Lincolnshire and zoomed back down to the Midlands to deliver a range of onsite courses including InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat and Premier Pro.
So what have we been doing with all this travelling? Some interesting and very varied stuff but we thought for this post we’d stick to Brigg in Yorkshire which is a beautiful town. Actually we like Yorkshire so much that this isn’t our first blog post about “God’s own county”.
A couple of weeks ago we ran an online InDesign Training Newsletter Design Course for a lady who had a little experience with the software. Her objectives were quite clear she wanted to create and edit slim yet professional looking newsletters in InDesign. Having had a chat prior to the course she selected a few random samples she liked from the Web and we used them as training examples during the course.
With travel and meetings being curtailed by the Corona Virus and overall interaction between people becoming more limited we are offering more online live instructor led training to compensate. Why miss out on your training course? There are no geographical boundaries with live online training so you can learn without leaving the comfort of your chair in your office or home – well anywhere that has a screen in fact.
Many people think that because they’re on Furlough they’re not allowed to go on training courses, online or otherwise. You can go on training – pop along to the Gov website to see what you can and can’t do.
These Adobe InDesign Training Courses are designed to give you the skills needed to do exactly what you need to do effectively and quickly. Because these are delivered in-house as onsite Adobe Courses the choice is huge and totally down to you and what you need to do. Most people are aware that you can create and design spreads and layouts in InDesign but what else can you do with the software.
Once the spread has been created for print or elsewhere you can then add elements from the InDesign Interactive Panel to create eBooks, presentations, slideshows and other online media. You can also use InDesign’s Interactive Panel to design and publish online forms to collect data and other information from perspective clients.
So exactly what do you get to do on an Introduction to InDesign Training Course? Well in essence you learn the tools, interface, features and functions that you need to create, edit and design documents for print, social media, web or whatever. By whatever, I do mean whatever because InDesign is so versatile it is used for many things. On the Intro Course its used to produce flyers, newsletters, brochures, tender documents. Instead of chatting about it here on the blog we thought you might like to take a look at a few InDesign Training Examples from previous courses.
Onsite Adobe InDesign Training Midlands 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.
In InDesign you work with frames (not in all cases, but mostly) to position text and graphics on one or more pages. It can be used to create numerous documents from flyers to multi-page catalogues that are then sent out for print production or output to digital. But it is much more than that.
If you’re an author then you can work with InDesign to design and publish your book to both print and digital destinations. You can publish your book to an ePubs format where it can published on numerous digital readers, prepare it for publication on Amazon Kindle or send it our for hard copy print.
Yes you’ve guessed it – InDesign can help you with that too.
By making use of the interactive and overlays panels in InDesign you can create sharp well designed visual presentations.
The choices are………………………..huge!
Looking for the Control Bar in InDesign CC 2019? The control bar no longer appears automatically when you install or update Creative Cloud. It now needs to be manually turned on from the Window menu. Why? Because Adobe have introduced the the new InDesign CC 2019 Properties Panel and this opens on the InDesign load. Just like the Control Bar the Properties Panel is also context sensitive and changes according to what is currently selected.
Training seems to go round in circles – one month it’s Photoshop Training another InDesign Courses and May has been no different except its been the Adobe InDesign Interactive PDF course that’s proving popular. These courses have been delivered onsite at clients premises from the heart of the Midlands, up to Yorkshire, down to London and just about everywhere else in between this last month.
The most of obvious savings are the huge postage costs immediately slashed and your paper and ink bills also slashed.
Dynamic documents or 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.
In InDesign you can create two types of PDF, one for print and one for interactive content such as rich media, buttons and forms. Adobe InDesign is far more versatile than is realised and can publish both interactive books and presentations.
The course has just been updated to reflect the ever changing and growing requirements of clients but among other things you will learn how to:
