The XML session has transformed this course. I was so enjoying it up until this point. What an absolute mess the XML part was. I'm sure this isn't the tutor's fault but I'm struggling to see the relevance of the lesson and where it's going. I'm going to abandon ANY XML and InDesign. EVERY time I hear anything about XML, it involves having to have geek-level knowledge of data structures, which is NOT what InDesign is about. Hopefully there's a happy ending to it all. But it's dragged on way too long and has driven the course backwards, leaving me no motivation to continue. I'll sleep on it and provided there's content beyond XML, may go back to this course at a later date. Oh and the whole "tree house" theme has dragged on way too long. I wish there was some diversity in completely different catalogue concepts rather than this single one.

This Adobe InDesign course is more valuable for me. We can easily understand all content from this instructor. Thank you so much.

Very good course! The instructor is very knowledgeble.

A Divine Gift in Disguise I didn’t anticipate the depth and value this course would offer—but what a sacred treasure it turned out to be. From start to finish, it was a wellspring of advanced wisdom and practical techniques, each shared with clarity and care. Martin gently guides me through the spiritual architecture of design—revealing hidden gems like GREP styles, the seamless art of importing and exporting TOC presets, anchoring sacred objects in space, and harmonizing paragraph, character, and object styles with grace. He even opens the door to integrating divine intelligence through tools like ChatGPT, showing how creativity and technology can dance together in flow. This is the second course I’ve had the blessing to receive from Martin, and his depth of knowledge continues to inspire and empower. I sincerely pray he continues to share more of these advanced teachings—they are truly a gift to those walking the path of creative mastery. For any soul wishing to deepen their InDesign practice, I wholeheartedly recommend this course. You will leave not only with refined skill but with renewed inspiration and a more aligned, sacred workflow. Deparis Stéphanie

By Dorene Oster on 5/17/2025

I didn’t expect this course to be so valuable—but it turned out to be packed with advanced tips and tricks that I was able to apply immediately. Martin covers a wide range of essential techniques, including using GREP styles, importing and exporting TOC presets (which was incredibly helpful), anchoring objects, and effectively combining paragraph, character, and object styles. He even touches on how to integrate ChatGPT into your workflow for certain tasks. Martin is highly knowledgeable, and this is the second course I’ve taken from him. I sincerely hope he continues creating more advanced InDesign courses like this one. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to sharpen their skills—you’ll walk away with practical techniques that will significantly enhance your InDesign workflow.

Very informative. I am learning a lot in a short time. Appreciate the tutoring

By Chris Sorensen on 4/11/2025

The initial segments, and showing examples of what can be done before the more technical how to do it, is a very engaging approach. It sets a tone of expectation and anticipation about the lessons ahead.

By Makinde Akande on 4/9/2025

Martin has always been a fantastic teacher; I learned Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator from him, and now I'm taking a course in InDesign. This course is amazing. It is straightforward and includes many examples and resources to follow. He speaks clearly and explains concepts without unnecessary fluff. As I progress through the course, I see projects I can add to my portfolio as well. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning these skills.

By Sajjad on 4/9/2025

The practical projects were especially helpful for understanding how to use InDesign in real-world scenarios. Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to master InDesign! special thanks to Martin Perhiniak
