Adobe InDesign (Level 1)

InDesign Level 1 for Print Projects course is for those who are completely new to the software, have limited knowledge of the software, or are PageMaker or Quark users converting to InDesign. The course was designed by Steve Markos and is based on his experience as a graphic design and Art Director of a nationally distributed magazine.

The course covers what Steve feels are the ESSENTIALS needed to use InDesign on a competent level, allowing designers to return to work with confidence to get basic jobs done. Students completing this course will be able to create advertisements, flyers, newsletters, magazines, and brochures.

We are often asked why our Level 1 class is a 3-day class while everyone else offers a 2-day class. A 2-day InDesign class breezes through the essentials and does not give students adequate time to practice what they learn. In our 3-day class, students learn by laying out parts of an actual magazine, and thus they have multiple chances to practice every day techniques so that they have better retention of the essential skills.

After Completing This Course A Student Will Be Able To:

• Create new InDesign projects
• Import text and graphics
• Create solid and spot colors
• Understand advanced typography terms and features
• Work with Master Pages
• Save time with Paragraph and Character styles
• Ready a project for print and PDF export.
