Adobe InDesign Complete

Adobe InDesign CS3 is a part of the Adobe Creative Suite. The Adobe Creative Suite is a complete design solution that provides today's creative professionals with the tools they need to create and publish content for print and the Web. The CS label is the equivalent of InDesign 3. Adobe is unifying all their applications under the CS name. Please note that CS is the fully functional high-end version of the software.

Adobe InDesign software speaks the language of professional designers, delivering unparalleled creative freedom, productivity, and precision for designing superb pages. It works seamlessly with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, providing a single integrated design environment that doesn't interrupt your creative process. InDesign even opens Quark XPress and Adobe PageMaker files, so you can bring your work with you as you enter a new world of design possibilities.

This 2-day course provides a thorough overview of the interface, the tools, the features, and the production tips for page layout and design using InDesign. The course is an ideal combination of instructor-led demonstration and hands-on practice.
