About this course
Have you ever seen a terrific-looking brochure or newsletter and wondered how it was made? Chances are the designer used Adobe InDesign CC, the industry-standard desktop publishing software now available through the Creative Cloud. This course is applicable to any version of InDesign CS4 or newer.
In each lesson, we'll cover an important aspect of InDesign CC as you prepare a range of print and online products for a fictional company, Natalie's Nautical Emporium. You'll get dozens of files to work with, including a partially-completed InDesign document to start each lesson. Then you'll download graphics, images, fonts, and other content to complete the project. In order to check your work or troubleshoot any problems you encounter, you'll always receive a copy of the finished InDesign project file.
Lesson by lesson, you'll discover how InDesign CC's features relate to producing actual usable documents as we explore the best ways to create different types of materials, how to reuse items such as colors and artwork, and how to produce publications for different page sizes and devices. You'll come away knowing how to use this popular page layout software to design and create professional-quality letterhead, business cards, brochures, forms, interactive PDF files, an eBook, and more. You don't have to be a designer or an artist to produce professional quality documents!
