Course Description
In this class we will create a beautiful flip book for digital and for print, we will also create a full magazine. We will go over the basics of InDesign and learn how to layout a beautiful and clean design. We will cover and work with....
- Working with Paragraphs and Headlines
- Setting the Font/Colors for Our Document
- Saving loads of time by learning about master pages in InDesign
- Text Wraps
- Spread Layout and Design
- Photo Cropping and Layout
- Blending Modes and how to apply them to photos
- Exporting files in both digital and print format
- Learn how and where to upload your digital version online and be able to display it anywhere with a cool flip book like animation.
If you always wanted to design your own magazine then this class is for you. You do not have to be an expert in InDesign to follow along with this class. I move at a steady pace and make sure those who have little experience with InDesign feel at home.
We will start from scratch in InDesign and develop a magazine front cover, the index page, several articles and spreads, and a back page. We will then learn to export our file so we can get it professionally printed or have an online digital version.
We will learn how to automatically style and number pages using master pages, so we never have to manually number pages again. We will also learn character and paragraph styles, so you can apply the same style of type and alignment across all of your text.
So get those magazine ideas ready and let's learn together
A new InDesign project will be added periodically, so feel free to share with me what type of project you want to create along with me.
I also have Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, and Logo Design classes on Udemy. So feel free to check out my profile for more. Who this course is for:

I have had many self-made titles over the years: Brand Manager, Digital Architect, Interactive Designer, Graphic Designer, Web Developer and Social Media Expert, to name a few. My name is Lindsay Marsh and I have been creating brand experiences for my clients for over 15 years. As a freelance graphic designer, I have worked on a wide variety of projects both in the digital and print space.
I have had the wonderful opportunity of taking classes at some of the top design schools in the world: Parsons at The New School, The Pratt Institute and NYU.
I have had the pleasure of teaching over 100,000+ students globally online. I have provided private tutoring in the the area of design and marketing for over 8 years. I am also now a certified Canva Certified Creative.
The thing I enjoy most of all about being a teacher is seeing my students flourish and to be able to start careers that are passionate and rewarding.
I have a Facebook group dedicated to helping my students thrive and start new freelance design businesses. I want to get to know my students personally and give them that one on one critique and advice that I think goes missing in the online teaching world.
