InDesign is Adobe's answer to the future
of professional publishing for graphic designers, production
artists, and prepress professionals. This popular new program
for design and page layout combines smooth integration of text
and graphics in a single powerful tool. Upon completion of this
course you will be able to navigate and zoom in an InDesign document.
Place text and graphics, apply paragraph styles, and create and
apply character styles. Edit and apply master pages and override
master page items and output an InDesign document to PDF. Learn
to control margin, columns, and guides within a document; modify
frames and apply the fitting commands to frames and their content.
Define colours using the Swatches palette as well as create and
apply gradients and tints.
