Need to learn InDesign fast? You can learn the basics — enough to get up and running — in just 25 minutes with this new video course at lynda.com called Getting Started with InDesign.
Okay, I should say it’s not technically “new.” To be candid, we took the first five movies from my 9-hour title called InDesign Essential Training, added a new intro and conclusion, and spun it off into its own short title.
The title is a no-nonsense “just the basics” overview of building a document in InDesign, covering how to place text and graphics, move stuff around, and then print, save, or export as PDF:
There is no doubt that once you finish this title, you will:
- …be able to get a quick little job finished (like if your boss just handed you something and you have to do it right now, before lunch!)
- …be hungry to learn more about InDesign. That’s when we hope you’ll jump over to the Essential Training title.
And, since I’m pitching my titles, I might as well go hog-wild and encourage intermediate and advanced users to watch:
Of course, if you don’t have a membership to lynda.com, you can get a free trial week here. You can watch a lot of movies in a week!
Enjoy!
