Adobe InDesign can be a complex and intimidating program for first-time users. The projects in this book break down both the basic tools and required skills into small, individual steps. The book begins by covering the interface workspace and customization available within the interface. Next, the book provides tutorials that help readers gain hands-on experience with projects. Each project builds upon the previous project to develop a strong foundation of skills.
To reinforce each project and bring in real-world experience, readers will follow a practice “Save the Sharks” marketing campaign and design projects commonly used within the industry. You can swap out the content of the project files to build your own campaign or use the existing information. The screenshots throughout the book were taken with the version of Adobe InDesign for the Windows operating system and were current at the time of publication. There will be slight differences in the appearance of the program for some readers (primarily in the menus, item location, and key commands, and between the Mac and Windows InDesign versions). However, the basic tools and functions are the same across operating systems. This book includes a list of common default key commands for both the Mac and Windows operating systems.
