Introduction

This 3 day course aims to equip participants with the technical skills required to create full-colour, multi-page digital artwork for print using InDesign CS6. Starting with text frames, formatting, graphics and links, colours and libraries, students then move onto styles, layers, master pages, and templates. Instructors also show students how to generate book files and prepare documents for print and other media.

Who should do this course?

Anyone who needs to use InDesign to create documents such as advertisements, flyers, brochures or newsletters, but has little to no experience doing so, would be an ideal participant in this course.
