The powerful and abundant features of Adobe InDesign are often under utilised or even overseen! Learning about features such as Quick Apply for super fast formatting text, images or objects will save most users 20 to 30 minutes a day, a potential annual time saving of 68 hours! Similarly, understanding the power of GREP could help turn a full day or more of editing into a 5 minute job!
Especially with the latest version – InDesign CS6, you can more efficiently design and edit page layouts for print and screen, faster and easier than ever. Use the new Adaptive Design Tools to easily repurpose layouts to look great on a variety of pages sizes, orientations, or devices. Other InDesign CS6 productivity improvements include time-savers such as the split window, Content Collector tools, grayscale preview, easy access to recently used fonts, and more.
Productivity is the focus of this course with emphasis on the following areas:
Students should have either completed the InDesign Essentials course or be confident with InDesign's print publishing procedures, such as using Master Pages, creating and editing Paragraph and Character Styles and working with images. An InDesign assessment is available if you are unsure of your InDesign user level.
