Workshop: Introduction to InDesign
by James Glazebrook
If you’re involved in laying out content for print, web or mobile, there’s a good chance you need some basic InDesign skills. Join us for a focused workshop series in which you will learn the fundamentals of managing type and vector graphics, and the groundwork for creating and laying out single- and multiple-page documents.
Ideal for beginners and anyone who manages creatives, we start with the basics, explaining the technical aspects of the software, and introducing design practices and principles to guide professional and artistic work. Please bring your own computer with InDesign software already installed. You can download a free trial version here.
