What you'll learn
In this collection of lessons we will learn basic terms, definitions, and workflows for working in InDesign. We will start off by learning how we can generate vector-based graphics, right inside of InDesign. We will then take a look at how we can bring assets that were generated in other applications into InDesign for use in our layouts. After that, we will learn things like how we can create and format text, how to quickly manage the pages in our document, and finally we will learn how we can add some basic interactivity to our InDesign layout. To wrap this project up, we will learn how to save work and collect all related assets so they can be passed to another individual. Software required: Adobe InDesign CS5.
