Course Description

Are you new to Adobe InDesign, or have you used it for a while but have wondered what certain tools and functions do? Well, you've come to the right course. In this complete guide to InDesign CC, you will learn everything you need to know about the world's industry-standard graphic design and publication software.
Instead of listing the tools and techniques in a list and going through them devoid of a context or project, I cover all the tools and techniques comprehensively, but in the context of projects. So, you will learn by designing a poster for a local business, a lookbook for a ski resort, and an annual report for a camera company.
By the time you have completed this course, you will have mastered InDesign! And you will have projects to add to your portfolio.
Besides the essentials and fundamentals of InDesign, such as placing and editing images, threading and formatting text, and using master pages, you will also learn more advanced topics, including advanced color and the preflighting/printing process.
In fact, this course contains a complete guide to tables in InDesign as well as the complete guide to color in InDesign. You will also learn how to use both Photoshop and Illustrator with InDesign, in their own special sections. Adobe has made these programs so compatible, they work seamlessly together.
I'm Chad, and I'm a graphic designer and full-time university professor. I've worked as internet development director at an award-winning advertising design firm, webmaster and advertising designer at a regional newspaper, and managing editor of two graphic design magazines. Whether it was laying out a newsletter for a client while working at an ad design firm, or laying out advertisements and using CMYK plates at a newspaper, having this professional experience has enabled me to relate these InDesign video lessons to real-world applications.
For example, when we go over everything about adding and applying swatches, you learn when we would use spot colors vs. process colors, and I show example brand books and how they communicate their Pantone, CMYK, RGB, and Hex colors for graphic designers, and of course, how to apply those in InDesign.
I have also taught InDesign for the past decade as a university professor, teaching classes like Digital Layout and Design as well as Magazine Design and Production. My students have become page designers, creative specialists, and creative directors at newspapers, magazines, and media companies after graduating. Teaching InDesign in-person has enabled me to figure out what teaching methods and exercises are most effective and what areas students have the most questions about.
I love seeing what students come up with after mastering the technical side and using creativity and problem solving to produce amazing designs. Students in my Udemy courses have produced their own books after taking my InDesign courses. I look forward to seeing the work you design and produce in this course! Let me know if you have any questions by posting in the Q&A, or post your linked publications there for feedback.Who this course is for:

This course is for students new to Adobe InDesign or experienced users who want to learn more in order to design real world projects. No previous InDesign or graphic design experience required.

Great course.The instructor is delivering information at a suitable rate - I can follow along with the examples easily

By GlennLaPointe on

I am so impressed with how well the instructor conveys and explains. I am learning very quickly and understand all the concepts being presented.

By Susanne Tamir on

I did first the advanced one because i know Indesign well. The advanced one was so great that i did buy this as well and i was surprised to see how much i did not know. So this course is not only for beginners - even if its great for beginners while everything is explained easy and clear - its for any level and experience. Would like more courses in Indesign.

So far the course has been well thought out. Being completely new to the software, he does go a little fast when showing where files/options/tools are if you are working along, so I've had to rewind and go back quite a few times, but I've always been able to get there in the end.

Great lectures. Exceedingly well done and well thought-out...Excellent!!!

By Stephen Smith on

I really reallly like the course and one heartily recommend, one minor criticism is that the video moves a little quick at certain points so following along with the video can become a little challenging

By Khurram Shehzad on

This is best one, i have tried learning Indesign alot from youtube and following different videos on youtube makes confusion but now i am following this course and now everything is crystal clear.
