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.
