InDesign CC Multimedia Documents 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 is for any InDesign user looking to have creative control in producing interactive and multimedia documents or presentations. During the course you will use InDesign's innovative tools to learn how to create hyperlinks, buttons and add multimedia elements and then export to PDF for screen, web or CD.

''Having no previous experience with InDesign, I felt that the course content was brilliant at introducing me to the program and building my confidence.''

''Brilliant two days. I was sceptical about how much we would learn in two days but now feel like I am definitely ready and eager to use InDesign on my own.
