Students work to refine their skills both technically and creatively. Participants view many examples of successful design as well as the workflow to accomplish similar projects. The two days will be filled with exercises, and address topics such as page elements, managing styles, working with paths, incorporating external files, managing long documents, and pre-flighting and packaging files for print and web publishing.

As this is an introductory course, the bulk of our time will be devoted to learning the basic tools available in the program.

Course Requirements:

Students will need to have Adobe Indesign on their home computers. Try this 7-day free trial download of InDesign if you do not already have the program!
