About This Course:

Once you know the basics of InDesign, the next step is producing layouts that look more polished, take less time to build, and print correctly the first time. This course builds on the skills from Part 1 and shows you the techniques professional designers use every day.

You’ll start by working with objects in more advanced ways. You’ll create multiple frames in one step, transform the shape of frames, select and modify grouped objects, and flow type along a path. Next, you’ll take more control of color by searching for and replacing colors, working with tint swatches, creating gradients, and organizing swatches into color groups.

Course Objectives:

  • Create multiple frames in one step and transform the shape of frames

  • Select and modify grouped objects, and flow type along a path

  • Search for and replace colors, and work with tint swatches, gradients, and color groups

  • Create linked frames and add pages automatically while flowing text

  • Align text to a baseline grid and control column breaks

  • Find and replace missing fonts, edit text by dragging and dropping, and use the Story Editor

  • Create and apply object styles, update styles globally, and import styles from other documents

  • Distinguish between vector and bitmap graphics and manage linked files with the Links panel

  • Import Photoshop and Illustrator graphics using different techniques

  • Size and fit graphics, wrap text around graphics, and fill type with an image

  • Apply opacity, blending modes, feathering, drop shadows, and multiple effects to objects, text, and imported graphics

  • Copy, edit, and remove effects

  • Preflight files and preview color separations

  • Create PDF proofs and press-ready PDFs, and save PDF and print presets
