Course Description

Learn the basics of this amazing page layout application with these clear, step-by-step lectures presented in an easy-to-understand, plain English format.
I have been a publisher and magazine editor, running my own company for more than 15 years, so can appreciate both the power of this application, its creative potential - as well as its quirks and complexities.
The curriculum begins with a simple step-by-step walk-through for creating your first InDesign document. Once you have achieved this, the following steps pave the way for an ever-expanding understanding of this application.
I hope I can pass on both my enthusiasm for this software, as well as my commercial experience, to all the students taking this class.

Who this course is for:
  • Beginner designers, amateur photographers wanting to expand their skill base, self-published book authors

Instructor Details

Like a few others involved in the industry, I'm in the enviable position of being able to combine my life's passion, photography, with my job. And, even though I spend too much time in front of a computer, it remains one of the best occupations in the world
Born in the UK, I've spent more than half my life in Sydney. I began work in Australia as a cameraman in the audio-visual business, then as a freelance photographer. In the nineties I worked as a contributing freelance writer for several photo publications, then as a full-time magazine editor for more than eight years. In 2000 I started my own publishing business producing Australia's best-selling specialist digital photo techniques publication: Better Digital Camera magazine.With this I aggressively pursued the goal of producing clear, well-illustrated information written in simple English and continued to develop this plain-speaking style in another specialist magazine, Better Photoshop Techniques.
Nowadays I mostly teach and run specialist small group photo tours to photo-centric locations such as Africa, Japan, Bali, Iceland, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Cuba. When not travelling I run photo workshops, teach digital photography, video and post-production classes online and in face-to-face classes locally through Sydney University.

I'm brand-new to InDesign, though I worked with QuarkXPress 20 years ago (mainly adjusting the text as a member of editorial staff), and I appreciate the methodical way that the instructor works through the various features, making his tutorial interesting to people who already know something about desktop publishing programmes and those who are completely new. Thanks so much!

By Mahin Ahamed

Yes, I learned so many new things. The course was clear and well presented. I never got bored. At the end I expected more assignment but I took notes and tried most things as the course went along. Thank you very much.

By Lisa Burghardt

Very easy to follow. I'm very happy with this short course. Delivered solid curriculum in this short beginner class. He breaks the material and shows you how to execute each learning module. I'll be looking for other classes by this instructor.
