Description
Hi there, my name is Dan. I am a graphic designer and Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) for InDesign.
Together we will work through real-life projects starting with a simple company flyer, then a brochure & a company newsletter. We’ll make business cards & take control of a really long annual report.
We will work with color, picking your own and also using corporate colors. You will explore how to choose & use fonts like a professional. We will find, resize & crop images for your documents.
There are projects for you to complete, so you can practice your skills & use these for your creative portfolio.
In this course, I supply exercise files so you can play along. I will also save my files as I go through each video so that you can compare yours to mine – handy if something goes wrong.
Know that I will be around to help – if you get lost you can drop a post and I’ll be sure to get back to you.
I will share every design trick I have learned in the last 15 years of designing. My goal is for you to finish this course with all the necessary skills to start making beautiful documents using InDesign.
