InDesign Basics — Level 1
With Bevi Chagnon

This basic introduction to Adobe InDesign teaches you how to create desktop publishing projects from start to finish making master pages, creating stylesheets for formatting text, importing text and graphics, setting up printing ink colors, preflighting, exporting press-quality and web-quality PDFs, and packaging files for the service bureau. Bevi also slips in a lot of graphic design concepts and guidelines, too.

This class is for beginners who may or may not have previous experience with another desktop publishing program, or who might have rusty DTP skills. By the end of the class, you will have completed at least one flyer and a multi-page booklet.
