Adobe inDesign CS

Beginners Level 

When it comes to designing professional-quality literature, there?s no contender. As part of the Creative Suite, inDesign is fully integrative with Photoshop and Illustrator and immensely user-friendly. Its superior colour, text and image handling capabilities make it increasingly the professional designer?s choice.

Useful to you if:

you need to create or edit literature such as books, magazines, posters, newsletters, brochures.

Before the course, you:

should be able to navigate your desktop/system and be familiar with basic universal functions such as ?Save?, ?Quit? etc.;

need no prior experience of inDesign.

  

At the end of the day?s course you will:

? have produced a poster, a business card, and a section of a magazine;

? be comfortable with print terms and principles;

? know some basic keyboard shortcuts to improve workflow.
