This is a free excerpt from the full course by Daniel Scott "Adobe InDesign CC Essentials Training Course". Learn Adobe InDesign by using this course to achieve the basic skills needed to move forward with InDesign.
Together we will work through real life projects starting with a simple company flyer, then a brochure & a company newsletter. We’ll make business cards & take control of a really long annual report.
We will work with colour, picking your own and also using corporate colours. You will explore how to choose & use fonts like a professional. We will find, resize & crop images for your documents.
There are projects for you to complete, so you can practise your skills & use these for your creative portfolio.
In this course I supply exercise files so you can play along. I will also save my files as I go through each video so that you can compare yours to mine - handy if something goes wrong.
Know that I will be around to help - if you get lost you can drop a post on the video 'Questions and Answers' below each video and I'll be sure to get back to you.
I will share every design trick I have learnt in the last 15 years of designing. My goal is for you to finish this course with all the necessary skills to start making beautiful documents using InDesign.
What are the requirements?
You will need a copy of Adobe InDesign CC 2018 or above. A free trial can be downloaded from Adobe.
No previous design skills are needed.

Well Paul what can I say. I was someone who was used to very quickly putting together flyers and brochures in Microsoft Publisher and Word. I had always wanted to get into Adobe products, in particular InDesign but was always daunted by their and the complicated layouts of their products. But a recent job application meant it was now a requirement. So I finally took the plunge, got the software and decided to give it a go. By following your course I went from knowing nothing to being able to create things I would not have dreamed of creating before. The beginners course was well paced, aimed at the right level and easy to follow. Thank you, Gordon.

Wow! So I went thru this tutorial in full. I had a job interview which required some InDesign experience. After I completed the tutorial, I did one of your classroom assignments as well, with little to no frustration. I also paid close attention to your advice on including the crop marks, bleeds and especially the color bars! I then went to a company's website, matched all crucial colors, downloaded images and branding logos. I put all of this graphic info into a mailer along the same lines as your tutorial. Long story short, this small project was the reason I'm having my 2nd interview! It was so easy. They thought I had several years of experience! The interviewer's comments were, "The reason we're having this 1st interview is because of your initiative. I saw your demo using the company's logo, etc. I also liked the color bars on the demo. Great job!" Just two days later, I also went on to make some collages for some 8 x 10s of my gransdon. I used high quality printing, and when I had sent the final project to a local photo company for printing, the prints were amazing! My wife enjoyed the compilations so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you! If I get the job as a Digital Marketing Specialist, I will let you know. Here's the kicker... I have been self employed, teaching and tutoring mathematics for over 32 years! Reallocating my attention to detail to graphic arts is a nice change. Great tutorial and great patience on your part. The measure of a great teacher is the INDEPENDENT students! Have a great day. I'll keep you posted!
