InDesign Online Courses
- InDesign Quick Start You want to learn InDesign, but where do you begin? This course is step one! You are only 30 minutes from creating or editing your own layouts in InDesign. David Blatner takes you through the five techniques every aspiring "InDesigner" needs to know to get started with InDesign: getting around the interface, working with text, adding graphics, moving objects around the artboard, and creating and printing PDFs.
- Introducing InDesign Get a thorough introduction to InDesign, in these tutorials from Deke McClelland. Deke shows how to assemble text and images into multipage documents that can be published in print, on the web, and in many other electronic formats. He introduces the core elements that make up any InDesign project, whether simple or complex: pages, text frames, and images. He shows how to place and flow text, and set character- or paragraph-level attributes. He also examines image placement, cropping, scaling, and framing. Along the way, Deke discusses the efficient use of rulers and guides, and shows how to navigate between pages. There's no prior InDesign knowledge required. Start your learning path here. Topics include: Creating a new InDesign document Navigating in InDesign Creating and formatting text Formatting text with paragraph styles Creating dynamic hyperlinks Adding, deleting, and moving pages Importing, cropping, and scaling photos Placing artwork Stacking and layering objects Wrapping text around a graphic
- InDesign: Layout and Composition Many designers overlook the importance of composition—it's one of the tasks they do every day. But there are many techniques that you can use to help improve your designs at this fundamental level. Join designer Nigel French as he takes you through a series of real-world projects (business cards, magazines, posters, ads, and book covers) to help you improve your layout and composition skills with InDesign. Topics include: Creating visual relationships with alignment and repetition Exploring different configurations Using scaling and white space Organizing a page with rules Working with flexible column grids Establishing hierarchies Working with symmetry and asymmetry Integrating text and images in your layouts
