00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,920
Hi, there. My name is Dan and I'm a graphic designer

2
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,609
and an Adobe certified instructor full in design.

3
00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:16,950
I'm lucky enough to help Adobe directly

4
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:19,440
with a lot with their help videos on their website.

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,870
Also, I get to speak at their annual conference,

6
00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:23,130
which is Adobe Max,

7
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:25,020
which is a very cool Conference.

8
00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:30,090
In this course, we are going to learn how to use Indesign to our really good level.

9
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:33,670
Now Indesign is absolutely one of the essential tools for

10
00:00:33,665 --> 00:00:37,975
anybody that wants to work in desktop publishing or graphic design.

11
00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:41,190
Now this course is for complete beginners.

12
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:43,250
There is no need for any experience in

13
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:46,470
Indesign or graphic design or desktop publishing before.

14
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:48,560
We'll work through real-world projects,

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,360
starting with a simple and easy flier on to get us started.

16
00:00:52,355 --> 00:00:55,805
Then we'll work through a longer brochure, company newsletter,

17
00:00:55,805 --> 00:01:00,585
will make business cards and take control of a longer document like an annual report,

18
00:01:00,589 --> 00:01:01,879
we'll work with color,

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,440
picking your own colors,

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,240
and then working with corporate colors.

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,610
Together we'll explore how to choose and use fonts like a professional.

22
00:01:09,605 --> 00:01:11,815
Working with images, we'll re-size,

23
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:16,040
adjusting crop, throughout the course there are projects that you can complete.

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,930
You can use them just to practice,

25
00:01:17,930 --> 00:01:21,790
you can also use them if you want to add them to your portfolio.

26
00:01:21,785 --> 00:01:24,235
It's part of the course as well. This is exercise falls,

27
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:25,400
so you can play along.

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,280
At the end of every video,

29
00:01:27,275 --> 00:01:29,545
I save my file to see where am at.

30
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:31,100
That can be really help for you,

31
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:32,420
if you're getting a little bit lost,

32
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,300
you can compare yours with mine.

33
00:01:34,295 --> 00:01:35,705
Now, I'm gonna give you

34
00:01:35,705 --> 00:01:39,745
every single design tip and trick that I've learned over the years.

35
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:43,820
Because my goal is for you to get to the end of this video series

36
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:49,110
and have all the skills necessary to make beautiful in design documents.

37
00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:55,670
This is my Blue Steel Poles for a while look.

38
00:01:55,665 --> 00:01:59,555
Otherwise, I finished the video and rush towards camera to turn it off,

39
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:01,840
and I come to relax.
