Our two-day Advanced InDesign training course has been created for clients who wish to take the program to a whole new level. To get the best out of this training you will already be familiar with InDesign’s myriad tools and features and be using style sheets and master pages on a regular basis. If this is you get ready to become an InDesign power user.
During this course you will be shown the correct way to use powerful features such as books and libraries. You’ll be using advanced master page and style sheet techniques to create automatic table of contents, headers and footers and indices. You will be creating print or screen-ready pdfs that include interactive buttons, hyperlinks and anchored text.
You will also be dipping into Photoshop and Illustrator so that we can demonstrate InDesign’s amazing interaction with its sister programs. Add to this clipping paths, text wrap, tables, advanced anchored text and data merge and you will soon be producing beautiful documents that will impress your work colleagues.
This course takes delegates up another level: as well as an in-depth overview of all the program's tools and menus, we examine the nitty-gritty of using InDesign within a publishing environment.
By the end of this two-day course delegates will be well-equipped to use InDesign in a professional publishing environment – and be able to instruct other staff members in the correct utilisation of InDesign.
