Adobe InDesign Essentials

Adobe InDesign is the leading prefessional design layout programme used by graphic design professionals worldwide. It works seamlessly with Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat providing an integrated design environment. It can also open files previously created in QuarkXPress*

On day one you will learn how to build a document layout, place text and images and use colour to create a document layout. Day two will explore more advanced layout and typographical controls, clipping paths, using libraries, creating multipage documents for production and printing.
