1
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:10,160
Now, what is InDesign?

2
00:00:10,155 --> 00:00:12,155
Basically, it's a big desktop publishing,

3
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:14,310
it's like a big version of Microsoft Word.

4
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:19,830
Now, Microsoft Word gets to you to a certain level that navigates you to pro level.

5
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:22,610
It's quite intuitive, you can teach yourself a bit of it.

6
00:00:22,605 --> 00:00:25,735
I've got a course, a full course on Word if you want to go check that out,

7
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:27,710
that gets into a lot more of the detail.

8
00:00:27,710 --> 00:00:34,680
But InDesign is where Word finishes, InDesign starts.

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,100
Now, if I'm working in a design agency or

10
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:41,650
a desktop publisher or marketing or communications place and I need to make a flyer,

11
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:43,950
a one page little flyer, InDesign.

12
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:46,750
If I need to make a series of business cards, InDesign.

13
00:00:46,745 --> 00:00:49,745
If I need to make some corporate stationary, InDesign.

14
00:00:49,745 --> 00:00:53,315
Magazines, brochures, short ones, long ones,

15
00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:56,720
if I've got a 400 page book that I'm actually producing,

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,610
InDesign is the place to go.

17
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:04,100
It is by far the most essential tool in that desktop publishing world.

18
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:08,150
They're like some of the products for Adobe,

19
00:01:08,150 --> 00:01:10,610
there are direct competitors that are just as successful,

20
00:01:10,610 --> 00:01:12,260
but InDesign doesn't have one.

21
00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:14,150
It has this quack and page maker,

22
00:01:14,150 --> 00:01:18,190
which is kind of that just really old versions of InDesign.

23
00:01:18,185 --> 00:01:22,045
You can still use those things and they do a similar sort of job,

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,430
but you'll find tons of an industry tool getting a job.

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,750
InDesign is the place to be for that type of work.

26
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:32,890
Now that my friends hopefully,

27
00:01:32,885 --> 00:01:34,985
is what InDesign is.
