Course Description
Welcome All,
I’m Janna, by day analyst, by night digital tech savvy guru.
I first came across digital planning a while ago and was intrigued how they are made, all the functionalities and found it difficult to find videos on how to create a digital planner from scratch. Digital Planning has changed my life and I love how customisable they are and how personal you can make them!
I’ve created this video to share how I have created digital planners using InDesign. We will be creating this planner from scratch A - Z.
Have you ever wondered how people manage to add hundreds of dates to their dated planners? I will show you how to add hundred/thousands of dates/text in a few clicks instead of manually adding them into your planner in this course!
Planners can be created for your own personal use and to sell as passive income on sites such as Etsy. Digital downloads are a perfect way to make extra income this year.
For this project you will need a tablet/desktop, as well as a PDF reader (I use GoodNotes) but any PDF reader will work well with this.
This class will feature the following topics:
Introduction To The Course
Thinking About How Our Planner Will Be Structured
Setting Up Our InDesign Document
What Are Master Pages & Why Are They Useful To Digital Planners?
Creating Our Dates Text File For Our Planner
Creating Our Daily Planner Pages
Using Data Merge To Automatically Generate Dates
Creating Our Cover Page
Creating Our Monthly Planner Page
How To Override Master Elements On A Page
Creating Our Notes & Sticker Pages
Adding Hyperlinks To Our Planner Tabs
Arranging Our Planner Pages Into Order
How To Add A Background
How To Export Our Planner As A PDF
How To Import Planner Into GoodNotes
Conclusion
The digital planner we create together in this course will be available to you at the end of the course to start your digital planning journey, this planner isn’t to be resold or distributed, it’s for personal use only for the students of this course.
I would love to see what designs everyone creates, please share your projects with me!
I hope you find this tutorial useful and thank you for taking the time to attend my class.

I can't understand the instructor. She mumbles. The sound quality is horrible and this was a waste of money.

the videos suddenly start of suddenly finish. the content if fab but this part does make it seem like its been recorded on a free app!

I had no experience with Adobe inDesign and only a little experience with Photoshop. The step by step lessons were great. Pay attention to the screen as well as the instructions. First Rate instructions.

Very easy and to the point. I will be using this to create my own planner. I loved this so much. Thank you so much for your course. I will be looking into more courses from you.

I thought it was a very good course and was well presented. Most definitely worth the cost of the course.
By Dawna Dearing on 3/5/2022
Good course! I am very familiar with InDesign and still found this course too quick and somewhat hard to follow along. I have six pages of notes. It took approximately an hour and a half to two hours to complete. That being said, I am confident that I will now be able to create a beautiful, interactive Daily Planner. All in all, this was worth the effort. Thank you!

Great class --- I just wish the instructor would have gone into more depth and spent more time introducing Adobe Indesign and not assumed we were entirely familiar with it. Also the hyperlink section (the most important part of the planner) was VERY rushed.

Very useful course, I've learnt a lot, thank you.
By Robert Woods on 1/2/2022
Fantastic course, instructor, and was easy to follow along. Thank you.
By Thomas on 12/17/2021
I did like this course. It was very informative expecially because there is not many courses for doing planners in indesign. One thing I did not like and the reason I gave you only 4 stars is your video editing. There should be clean brakes going from one subject to the next.
