Getting Started with Adobe InDesign, Part 2
Characteristics Of This Class:
Adobe InDesign offers much better text formatting and image alignment than your average word processing program, and it integrates beautifully with Photoshop, Illustrator, and other Adobe applications.
This workshop expands on techniques from Getting Started with InDesign, Part 1. You'll discover more of InDesign's core features and built-in effects, enabling you to improve on your text and add additional pages. We'll also cover time-saving tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of InDesign.
This workshop will cover:
- Managing linked graphics
- Importing text
- Styling objects
- Working with layers
- Flowing text across multiple pages
Presented in Adobe CS6, but most of what is taught will apply to earlier versions of the program.
Who Should Take This:
Anyone who wants to be a graphic designer, or create brochures, catalogs, books, and other print media. It's perfect for designers transitioning from PageMaker, Quark, or entry-level word processing software too!
You should take Getting Started with Adobe InDesign, Part 1 if you're not familiar with the InDesign interface and basic tools.

I've used InDesign lots before, but this class helped me understand some of the tools I didn't understand or didn't know much about before.
Amanda, 9/30/2009
Great, she knew her stuff. I suppose that I can't tell you what else I wanted to learn because I don't know it, that's why I need to learn.
