Hi, there. My name is Dan and I'm a graphic designer
and an Adobe certified instructor full in design.
I'm lucky enough to help Adobe directly
with a lot with their help videos on their website.
Also, I get to speak at their annual conference,
which is Adobe Max,
which is a very cool Conference.
In this course, we are going to learn how to use Indesign to our really good level.
Now Indesign is absolutely one of the essential tools for
anybody that wants to work in desktop publishing or graphic design.
Now this course is for complete beginners.
There is no need for any experience in
Indesign or graphic design or desktop publishing before.
We'll work through real-world projects,
starting with a simple and easy flier on to get us started.
Then we'll work through a longer brochure, company newsletter,
will make business cards and take control of a longer document like an annual report,
we'll work with color,
picking your own colors,
and then working with corporate colors.
Together we'll explore how to choose and use fonts like a professional.
Working with images, we'll re-size,
adjusting crop, throughout the course there are projects that you can complete.
You can use them just to practice,
you can also use them if you want to add them to your portfolio.
It's part of the course as well. This is exercise falls,
so you can play along.
At the end of every video,
I save my file to see where am at.
That can be really help for you,
if you're getting a little bit lost,
you can compare yours with mine.
Now, I'm gonna give you
every single design tip and trick that I've learned over the years.
Because my goal is for you to get to the end of this video series
and have all the skills necessary to make beautiful in design documents.
This is my Blue Steel Poles for a while look.
Otherwise, I finished the video and rush towards camera to turn it off,
and I come to relax.
