In this course, InDesign for Beginners, you are going to learn how to use Adobe InDesign. This course is for beginners. You don’t need any previous knowledge in InDesign, graphic design, or desktop publishing. We’ll start right at the beginning, working our way through step by step. Together, we’ll make a four-page brochure, learning the tools and techniques necessary to design it and print it professionally. We’ll work with color, picking our own and using corporate colors. We’ll explore how to choose and use fonts like a pro. We’ll find, resize, and crop images. So, if you’ve never opened InDesign before, or you’ve opened it and struggled, join this course and I’ll show you the easy way to make beautiful design work in Adobe InDesign.
