3536 - Adobe InDesign

Course Description

As the industry standard for graphic design, Adobe InDesign integrates effortlessly with the Adobe software suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) to give graphic artists superior control over every element of their page layouts. Designers can use it to combine text and illustrations for single- or multi-page documents and to prepare them digitally for output to press, printer or PDF. Students in this course gain technical know-how of the application's basic tool layout, image manipulation, and vector integration tools. Concepts of visual communication and design are reinforced through hands-on exercises and practical assignments that culminate in a final project in book design. The project may then be printed commercially to be included in a graphic design portfolio.
