Bespoke InDesign CC Editors Module - 1 Day Overview
Adobe InDesign CC 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 CC integrates seamlessly with the other Adobe applications and can include native Photoshop and Illustrator files, and in CC 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.
This 1 day course has been tailored to the specific needs of subs, editors and writers who are new to InDesign or migrating from QuarkXPress. During the session all the core features relevant to editors using InDesign will be covered including typography, text control and editing text.
