Adobe InDesign - Introduction to Desktop Publishing

Course information

This course introduces Adobe InDesign CC, the industry-standard feature-rich layout program. By the end of the workshop participants will be able to create single and multipage documents for screen or print. Underpinned by best practice and time-saving workflows users will discover fundamentals of design to create effective layouts. Integrate Photoshop, Illustrator and other content to produce press-ready artwork including leaflets, flyers, academic posters and publications.

Previous participant's comments: "It covered the basics and didn't assume any prior knowledge of InDesign or other design software. The examples we worked through helped me formulate ideas of how I could use InDesign to refresh and improve the appearance of material I produce."

Open to all staff and postgraduates.
