Bespoke InDesign CC Editors Module - 1 Day
Course Details
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.

It worked really well as I can demonstrate to my manger exactly what I have learnt. I wasn't familiar with what to do with the zip files before the session and the need to download them, which slowed me down in the first session. But there was a recap on day 2 so I am so glad that the course was for 2 days.

My trainer, Phil, was very good. He went at an excellent pace - fast enough to get through a lot of content and slow enough to be able to absorb all the new information without too much overload. I'd also like to mention that it's not easy to deliver training over zoom, but he was very good. He was patient with everyone, managed to get a 'feel' for the group and consistently asked us if we had any questions.

I found the session with Doug extremely useful. I had no prior experience using In Design however now I feel confident that I could produce a document using the software without much of a struggle. In addition, I feared I would struggle to keep up as I have dyslexia however Doug was extremely professional and everything he explained was easy to comprehend. An overall brilliant day. I would not hesitate to take a similar course with XChange training in the future.

Course was great, slightly slow in parts but perhaps due to Teacher being unable to show quick fixes to some of the othr students as doing this via zoom, trickier than in a class room, but what we did cover was great! Thank you Donna!
