About Adobe InDesign CS5 Essentials

Adobe INDESIGN CS5 ESSENTIALS

Adobe InDesign CS5 software introduces and new and enhanced productivity and collaboration features. Integrate interactivity, animation, sound, and video in documents and presentations to attract, engage, and inform your audience. Take advantage of intuitive tools that simplify object selection and editing. Streamline file management by including mixed page sizes in a single file.

The course is designed with a balance of hands on practical exercises, demonstrations and reviews. Using the latest software on Mac and PC platforms each course is delivered with training material or reference for the delegate to take away.

The InDesign CS5 Essentials course starts from the program basics and quickly builds knowledge and confidence in how to navigate the application and use the tools to create layouts and production techniques.

    Who should attend?

    This course is most suited to those delegates with no or little experience of InDesign CS5 (or prior versions back to version CS) who wish to gain a good working knowledge of the application within two days. The course content listed below indicates what is covered in the course and this should cover most aspects, whether for personal development plans or just greater understanding of the application. The course is suitable for most jobs where professional page layout skills are required.

    Should you wish to take your knowledge to a more advanced level, we recommend our advanced Print Production course - this will show you how to combine the best from a number of Creative Suite programs. A bespoke Advanced InDesign course is also available.
