The Essentials workshop assumes no previous InDesign experience. Since this is a course about Desktop publishing you should have an idea of what you wish to produce. This may be a simple leaflet or a long complex book. InDesign handles both with ease. In the latter part of the day we will develop your own ideas so that you have the confidence to finish your leaflet, or magazine and get it published.
The Next Step Workshop assumes you know the basics of Text and Image placement, Paragraph styles and you know how to create a basic pdf. We will look in depth at Tables, Forms, Interactive PDF's, Glyphs, Object Styles, Table of Contents and more.
