Thanks for this. It has been about 15 years since I used InDesign so it was a great update.

Thank you for this. I have a job interview this week and to be honest, my knowledge of InDesign is a bit limited. The graphic design work I've done hasn't required any heavy lifting by InDesign so this is great to help me brush up on concepts so I can actually hold a conversation. #fakeittilyoumakeit

Great video! I am a newbie to Indesign but I've used photoshop for awhile, so this was perfect to acclimate myself to indesign. Thanks!

This is my first intro to Indesign! Excellent. Loved the tip about Placing a word document!

[sharoneisenberg]

Excellent -- for me as I expand from PhotoShop and Illustrator into InDesign. Thank you!

Great tutorial! I'm soon going to start studying graphic design and this video really helped me grasp concepts that i didn't understand.

Glad to find videos on the InDesign cc 2017. Thinking of getting the software but it looks too complicated for someone who is completely new to this kind of stuff. I've gotten as far as PowerPoint and have mastered it. Need a software that will allow me to create designs for magazine publishing. Your explaining of the InDesign is too fast for me.  There's too much to cover and you get through it as though everyone is a pro. Do you have videos that will explain the software as if teaching the course? So a step by I asking for too

So I'm really new to this and your video has me lost. I need to know how to START a document. I guess I had better look for a more remedial video.

Hello,
I am a book designer and have my own company. I have been using Pages as my primary working tool. Pages 9 was a brilliant version for publishing applications and very versatile. However as this version has become redundant and i operate with much larger files now and am hoping to take it to another level, using the Pages 9 (for which i have a dedicated Mac where this is installed and no updates are done is not helping anymore as files are hanging and pages is crashing :(..

I am having to switch software and InDesign is looking like my pick.

I watched your video and do appreciate the effort in making the video .. however if you are demonstrating something to a beginner of Indesign / Adobe - ' Bad design on my part' and using an already created master document with inherent flaws does not assist a beginner ! Further demonstrating text additions outside of the sample document is not helpful ! Its like hitch-hiking - starting from in -between a journey and having to piece things together for yourself !
If i could humbly suggest, starting right from scratch by opening a New document and demonstrating grids and text boxes from the get go would actually be helpful if its a beginners video.
thanks .. hope this is helpful for upcoming Tutorials.

Good tutorial but has some faults..viz.
The Mouse pointer should have had acolour so as to follow where the icon being discussed is. secondly you could probably use zoom to highlight the area of discussion.
THIRDLY MAKE TUTORIALS USABLE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AS WELL. SOME HAVE VISION PROBLEMS AND SOME HAVEOTHER PROBLRMS.PLS. TRY N MAKE TUTORIALS SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES. THANK YOU.

[vahnvallain]

[TheOneWhoHasNoSkin]
