Tired of trying to figure out Adobe InDesign on your own?

Join me and learn to use InDesign without the headaches or hassle!

Ti suona familiare?…

You subscribed to Adobe InDesign because you heard that it was “the best” and the leading “industry-standard software”. You know you want full customisation and control over your business branding and value professional content hence you decided to jump in and give it a go.

Or perhaps you had no say in the matter. You might have inherited InDesign documents from a previous colleague, or been told by your employer that it is required software.

So now you have spent hours watching YouTube videos, and scanned through all the forums. You have tried to navigate the interface, and re-link those “missing images”, but you are left feeling confused and frustrated and unable to tap into the potential of this program.

Non preoccuparti, non sei solo.

I’m here to walk you through Adobe InDesign step-by-step.

Starting with the absolute basics (and building up to the more advanced), we will work our way up to using the tools that will specifically help you create the designs and documents you need within a professional environment.

Because this is where my course differs from the others.

It is not just another “general InDesign course”. I don’t just plonk down all this content and leave you to sift through it, picking out the relevant parts. This video course is designed to meet the needs of professionals, business owners and content creators. It is structured and delivered using the expertise I have developed over the past eleven years as a qualified teacher and trainer. This is the same framework that I use with my face-to-face clients to help them enjoy success with InDesign, and for the first time I’m now making it available online!

Because here’s the thing.

There’s a serious learning curve involved with InDesign.

And that’s for good reason.

We’re talking about industry standard software, used by professional publishing houses, corporate organisations and elite design agencies. There’s a learning curve because there’s a lot to learn! InDesign includes countless features and almost infinite possibilities.

But just because there’s a lot to learn, doesn’t mean it has to be difficile per imparare.

I always open my face-to-face Adobe InDesign training sessions by stating that InDesign is my all-time favourite software program. Everyone in the room always laughs disbelievingly.

But it’s true – it is my favourite program!

It wasn’t the case initially. What feels like a life-time ago … I had just started a new job, and was literally thrown in the deep end… Here’s InDesign, off you go! per fortuna, an opportunity soon came up to attend formal InDesign training. Ad oggi, I reflect on how valuable that training was.

Because this is a program that needs to be learnt from the ground up.

sì, you can fiddle around and enjoy some success.

But if you don’t learn the fundamentals first, you will inevitably find yourself running into road blocks and errors down the track. There are unique features and elements to InDesign that you won’t find in other software programs. Without that background knowledge, you are going to end up banging your head against the wall as you deal with unlinked graphics and missing text boxes, not to mention all the hours wasted that could be better spent on your actual business!

I have used this program every day for the past eleven years.

Each year I help countless working professionals through my InDesign training sessions.

E adesso, for the first time I have bundled up these years of experience into a self-paced video course which strips away the jargon and focuses on guiding you through logically and systematically.

When you join, imparerai …

• The basics of the InDesign interface and tools

• Advanced customisation features that will help you create truly unique work

• How to make the most of InDesign tools to create designs that will convert your audience

• My favourite hacks for getting designs done faster

And you won’t be alone.

I’ll be guiding you every step of the way!

This is eleven year’s worth of InDesign knowledge, condensed down and stripped back to bring you only the most relevant bits of information that you need to take your designs forward.

This is your chance to finally understand how this program works, so that you can easily create and re-create professional designs without the hassle.

You’ll receive seven easy to follow lessons so you can master InDesign one step at a time.

The problem with industry standard software like InDesign is that it can be so professional, that it is overwhelming at first. So I’ve broken it down into manageable, easy-to-digest videos that build upon one another so that you leave feeling completely empowered and ready to roll.
