Course Description

Are you scared to learn InDesign on your own? Does it look intimidating? Don't worry, I promise by the end of the first few videos you will realize InDesign is actually a simple to use program. Kara:"This course definitely exceeded my expectations. I've stayed far away from InDesign because I THOUGHT it was difficult. Daniel explains things in a way that it's not frustrating and boring. If you're on the fence about Daniel's class, don't hesitate to purchase it. I've bought 2 courses from other people on here and his was the most straight-to-the-point course and it wasn't boring. I had fun learning InDesign and this course is worth so much more than you pay on Udemy. Thank you!"Hi there, my name is Dan. I am a graphic designer and Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI)for Adobe InDesign CC.
Together we will work through real life projects starting with a simple company flyer, then a brochure & a company newsletter. Well make business cards & take control of a really long annual report. You'll learn essential typographic, color theory & graphic design principals. We will work with colour, picking your own and also using corporate colours. You will explore how to choose & use fonts like a professional. We will find, resize & crop images for your documents.
Margie:"This course has been a life changing experience for me! Ive been unmotivated the past 2 years because of the fear of failure in my business endeavours. I realize now I was more afraid of not being able to comprehend what the instructor was teaching....
now Im eagerly waiting to enjoy the next course. Learning has been a positive uplifting journey for me now!"There are projects for you to complete, so you can practise 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 on the video 'Questions and Answers' below each video and I'll be sure to get back to you.
Damayanti: "So thankful for this! it's my first time learning this program, but I can confidentially say that Daniel is a great choice as an instructor. What I really love is that you guys are really teaching each and everything that new comers like me need to learn to become a pro. Zero to Hero is the right slogan you guys used! Glad I get to learn through here!"I will share every design trick I have learnt 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 Adobe InDesign CC.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who wants to start using InDesign in their career & get paid for their design skills.

Sharing is who I am, and teaching is where I am at my best, because I've been on both sides of that equation, and getting to deliver useful training is my meaningful way to be a part of the creative community.
I've spent a long time watching others learn, and teach, to refine how I work with you to be efficient, useful and, most importantly, memorable. I want you to carry what I've shown you into a bright future.
I have a wife (a lovely Irish girl) and kids. I have lived and worked in many places (as Kiwis tend to do) but most of my 14+ years of creating and teaching has had one overriding theme: bringing others along for the ride as we all try to change the world with our stories, our labours of love and our art.
I'm a certified Adobe instructor (ACI) in Ireland. I'm also an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) and have completed the Adobe Certified Associate training (ACA). And I don't just do Adobe. Remember, media is a very broad term digital blew out the borders, so we are all constantly learning.
I've been teaching for 14+ years. I come from being a media designer and content creator so I understand exactly where you're at now. I've been there. I love this stuff. Print, digital publishing, web and video. I can see how it all connects. And I can see how we can share those connections.
I built Bring Your Own Laptop in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia & online. I have a great team working with me to keep BYOL at the top of Adobe and digital media training. I u

I'm so happy with the course. It exactly caters to my needs. The instructor is knowledgeable about the topic. He has both the skill and the art of teaching and brings fun to the course. I highly recommend the course and the instructor. Thanks Dan.

By Charizani Dimitra on 11/14/2020

Really helpful course for building confidence in using InDesign for any purpose.
It is simple yet dense, humorous yet organised.
Totally recommend it!
(also, thanks Teach')

By Kathryn Morales on 11/7/2020

Another good one Danny-O! Cheers!

By Debangana Guha on 11/7/2020

Thank you Dan for providing such great courses.This is my second time in your course.I'm really having fun doing this course also..

By Barbara Basso on 11/7/2020

Very good course, teacher is very professional but friendly at the same time, I've learned a lot. The only difficulty to me was to understand perfectly as he speaks very fast and automatic transcription is not accurate at all.

By Chantal Fabres on 11/7/2020

This is the second course I take with Dan Scott. He is a superb teacher and he deserves many more stars than 5! Dan is not only an excellent teacher he is also a practical one. He introduces ID in a way that can immediately be put into practice and perfected along the way . Dan is clear, engaging and fun. He leaves no small details out and addresses any possibilities one may encounter later on. He also repeats important points often and his courses are very well structured. Dan puts a lot of work behind his lectures and that is why he is one of the best teachers if not THE best on the platform.

By Shaqayeq on 11/1/2020

Its amazing, but I dont have cloud in my InDesign. Document size is not match with yours. I Dont know why

By Edward Morrissey on 10/27/2020

Dan delivers again! Ive taken Photoshop and illustrator from him, and the InDesign course was just as good. Im confident that I can get to work right away and create some great work for my clients.

By Ella Samuel on 10/25/2020

Absolutely love this course! It is so simple and easy to understand and I really enjoy doing the tasks at the end of each section to consolidate our new skills. Learning so much and I'm excited to progress onto advanced after this essentials course. Thank you, you are a great teacher.

By Nathan Lemuel Gundran on 10/24/2020

Hi Dan. I have just finished this InDesign course. My classes are starting, this is my last course before I totally focus on my studies. Thank you for giving me the experience from this course as well as your previous courses. From zero I am now a hero in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and InDesign. I'm so glad I had the chance to learn even during the pandemic. I truly had a blast. I learned many things. I just wanted to tell you that you are my favorite adobe teacher. Have a good one. Next summer, I will try to focus on your advanced courses. So, this is not the end. Until we meet again :)

By Anna Gruzina on 10/22/2020

I love this short, fast, and right in point style. I really find this course useful, because I am creating my own book right now. I thought that it would be harder, but the further I go, the clearer it gets. Thank you so much!

By Amy on 10/22/2020

Dan is a great instructor. He goes pretty fast, so it never drags or gets dull. (I just have to rewind a lot.) All of his instructions on document layout and design are wonderful. I plan on taking more of his classes!
