Course Description
Did you ever find yourself admiring a really good eye catching magazine, book or annual report on a desk somewhere and thought, that looks really good, I wish I could do that kind of stuff.
I was once there, until I decided that I will, I will actually take the time to learn how to do that graphic design stuff, enough to get me at least similar results. This is the product of the hours upon hours spent going over the software and scouring through design concepts to get a grasp of it all.
This course summarizes this knowledge and experience into just over an hour and a half of content that will afford you the opportunity to replicate our results in the shortest time possible; so if you don't have much time to learn an entire software, this course teaches you just what you need to make that book or report look moons greater than that other document created in MS Word.
Join us on the ride for this short project and come out on the other end feeling satisfied with a digital content in hand that you can add to your portfolio or print for your book shelf. You will also learn new skills that will make your work easier and have you earning more money by designing publications for businesses.

A great course with a lot of helpful information! I definitely feel I have more confidence using InDesign than I did before. The instructor is very good at explaining everything, and I love how short the videos are because it doesn't feel as if I'm having loads of information thrown at me. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wanted to gain knowledge on how to create a book using InDesign.
