Adobe InDesign CS3 - One Day Introduction Training Course— Bespoke

Adobe InDesign CS3 is the page layout application of choice for many users. It contains a host of advanced text, colour, print and layout features not found in any other application that can be applied to text and objects It also boasts an interface similar to Adobe’s other leading design applications and so is intuitive for users of these applications. Further, Adobe InDesign CS3 integrates seamlessly with the other Adobe applications and can include native Photoshop and Illustrator files, and in CS3 you can now centralise your whole workflow through Adobe Bridge. PDF output, XML , and export to GoLive output are also supported, making InDesign the perfect tool for repurposing content.

In this one day course we cover all of the key features of InDesign CS3 you’ll need to create attractive, professional page layouts. Over the two days we also create a print-ready version of a publication that you work on, to ensure that when you have finished the training you are able to cover all aspects of document production you are likely to work on.

(This course is also available as a two day course which provides sufficient time to cover the features in a more complete manner and allows more time for experimenting and creating completed designs.)
