Lesson 13: Advanced Tips & Techniques
What is it?
Do you want to become an InDesign superstar? Let me be your guide. I've been working in the publishing and design field for over 25 years and I've been teaching people just like you how to use Adobe InDesign in a way that will enable you to build rock solid documents and templates. I'll take advanced techniques and make them easy to understand and implement, and I'll make it fun!
This is not just a course with "how-to" videos. I will teach you how to do it RIGHT. You'll learn how to BEST use what InDesign offers!
"Before you know it, you will knock it out of the ballpark with your documents!"
Who is Your Instructor?
(Hint: It's Jonathan Levit)
With over 25 years of experience working in the design, publishing and production world, I have worked with and helped improve the production workflows of the top magazine, newspapers and advertising agencies in the world, including Nokia, Boeing, Disney, Warner Brothers, Elle, Ogilvy & Mather, The LA times (to name just a few). I have helped them to reduce their production time from hours (and days) to minutes, and have enhanced the aesthetic of their layouts.
And now I’m bringing all of my experience to you in this video series. My years of experience in understanding how to build the best documents and templates can be found within this course.
