Adobe InDesign CC - Essentials Training Course

Are you scared to learn InDesign on your own? Does it look intimidating? Don't worry, I promise by the end of the first few videos you will realize InDesign is actually a simple to use program.

  • Kara: "This course definitely exceeded my expectations. I've stayed far away from InDesign because Daniel explains things in a way that it's not frustrating and boring. If you're on the fence about Daniel's class, don't hesitate to purchase it. I've bought 2 courses from other people on here and his was the most straight-to-the-point course and it wasn't boring. I had fun learning InDesign and this course is worth so much more than you pay on Udemy. Thank you. "

Hi there, my name is Dan. I am a graphic designer and Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) for Adobe InDesign CC.

Together we will work through real life projects starting with a simple company flyer, then a brochure & a company newsletter. We’ll make business cards & take control of a really long annual report. You'll learn essential typographic, color theory & graphic design principals.

We will work with colour, picking your own and also using corporate colours. You will explore how to choose & use fonts like a professional. We will find, resize & crop images for your documents.

  • Margie: "This course has been a life changing experience for me. I’ve been unmotivated the past 2 years because of the fear of failure in my business endeavours. I realize now I was more afraid of not being able to comprehend what the instructor was teaching....now I’m eagerly waiting to enjoy the next course. Learning has been a positive uplifting journey for me now. "

There are projects for you to complete, so you can practise your skills & use these for your creative portfolio.

In this course I supply exercise files so you can play along. I will also save my files as I go through each video so that you can compare yours to mine - handy if something goes wrong.

Know that I will be around to help - if you get lost you can drop a post on the video 'Questions and Answers' below each video and I'll be sure to get back to you.

  • Damayanti: "So thankful for this. it's my first time learning this program, but I can confidentially say that Daniel is a great choice as an instructor. What I really love is that you guys are really teaching each and everything that new comers like me need to learn to become a pro. Zero to Hero is the right slogan you guys used. Glad I get to learn through here. "

I will share every design trick I have learnt in the last 15 years of designing. My goal is for you to finish this course with all the necessary skills to start making beautiful documents using Adobe InDesign CC.

step by step

Every thing explained step by step, and gives you a good foundation for the advanced courses.

This course is a great refresher so far on the current version of InDesign CC and helps me feel like I am getting caught up in the design world again step by step - yay!

It's clear and complex - step by step explained not only the indesign features you have to know but giving you ground for your work around it: what should you do, and what not; where to seek for inspitation and info and etc.

I watched a couple lessons without working along and could tell I wasn't learning as much as I was when following along in InDesign step by step.

The projects and examples he goes through take you step by step through the design process, and they're easy to understand.

I really like how this course go from the most basic things and build on what I learned step by step.

Step by step teaching.

Daniel is a great instructor and walks you through things step by step then gives you "homework" so that you can do it yourself which helps you learn what he went over.

This training was very helpful, instructor went step by step and I was able to follow with hands on training.

Nice step by step, easy to follow instructions.

Clear explanation about the difference between Illustrator and Indesign which helped me It's really step by step... Clear and easy to understand.

Pretty good - he goes a little fast in places for a beginner... very easy to follow Step by step instructions for absolute beginners very useful The course is easy to follow and the instructor is very entertaining.

Step by step, good explanations and easy to follow.

seems a bit fast talking very detailed and explains very logically step by step.

slow down

If he could slow down just a bit, I wouldn't have to do so much rewinding of the video.

I would have given a full five starts but feel he could slow down a little at times.

Quite good so far but instructor just needs to slow down a bit.

The projects seem to slow down a lot which is MUCH better.

Interesting, and well-presented tutor needs to slow down as one does not get a chance to keep up (have to pause the video) to complete the skill sets.

slow down was caused by Udemy and my internet - no reflection on course :) I am learning tons of fantastic tricks and tips and ways to be more efficient and effective in creating a variety of publications.

I'd only suggest that the Instructor slow down and explaining how to do things Great explanation!

graphic designer

and I am a graphic designer so I know Ps and Ai so a lot of the small things are already familiar to me.

I'm feeling confident that I'll have a strong understanding of the fundamentals and all necessary skills in InDesign to become a paid professional graphic designer.

I am an aspiring graphic designer/desktop publisher, and I needed this training to push over the edge.

As someone who is transitioning from a Marketing background to a full-blown Graphic Designer, this course is perfect for preparing me for my new position at an e-commerce company.

I am a graphic designer that took a 12 year hiatus (being a mom).

And I have to add, to a standard that impressed our poor overworked graphic designer.

I am a graphic designer and I use InDesign daily.

other than

Other than that, awesome!

Other than that the videos are great, I like that we get to produce something after the lessons and we can submit it for review.

Other than that, great content and teacher!

Other than that, I enjoyed the class.

I think some of the producer's pop up bubbles were a little unnecessary other than the ones that seriously corrected something important, the others were distracting.

Other than that, good job, very well structured and explained with real life project examples from beginning to end.

Other than that, I must say that I'm getting acquainted with this InDesign program and can comfortably apply what I've learned thus far.

years ago

I used InDesign many years ago to do a newsletter for my car club but never used much of it and forgot a lot.

I should have taken this course 3 years ago when I started using InDesign.

Best InDesign instructions ever - I tried years ago with a different instructor, no luck.

As a beginner its amazing to know how fast i can learn Indesign I had taken a module on InDesign back in college almost 10 years ago and hadn't used at all since then.

I used PageMaker years ago and still remember a few shortcuts.

I started using photoshop years ago and learned how to use it with Deke at Lynda.com but It's time I start to learn Indesign and I am really enjoying this course so far.

I used Quark before years ago.
