It feels like time is rushing by these days, and sometimes we don’t get a chance to slow down and remember to “sharpen the saw” (Covey’s term for taking time to learn new things that will help us in our work). Well, InDesignSecrets is here to help. In addition to our regular tutorials, magazine, podcasts, and more, here are some articles and videos from around the web for you:
- I just noticed that Adobe is also posting videos of Adobe Max sessions to their YouTube channel.
- Grace Fussell wrote up a few great tutorials on how to create some fun special effects in InDesign, such as “Create a Colourful Dasara Infographic in InDesign,” “Create a Distressed Painted Wall Text Effect in InDesign” and “Create a 3D Paper Cut-Out Text Effect in Adobe InDesign.”
- If you use Creative Cloud libraries, you’ll want to check out some of the new things they’ve added
- Fun podcast interview with Jason Hoppe by Colleen Gratzer on Design Domination
- Do you speak Spanish? There is a great course by José Ramos on LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) on CC 2019 Esssencial
- This isn’t about InDesign, but it’s just so dang cool: What if you could hide secret code messages in the shape of characters?
- Whoa… two major book printing giants merging!
- Curious about GREP? Did you see Peter Kahrel’s new eBook that we published?
- Want to learn more about doing PDF comment and review? Conrad Chavez did a terrific recorded Connect session for the Adobe Community Professionals group recently.
Enjoy!

Has any one got a link to ‘Design Automation with InDesign’ I started watching this yesterday and now it’s gone! :(
Hi Shane,
look into my reply to Steve’s post above.
thanks Uwe :)
Hi David,
unfortunately all the MAX 2018 links are not working anymore.
Adobe moved on to MAX 2019…
Best,
Uwe

The link to the James Fritz talk seems to be dead.

David, thanks for the mention of my Design Domination podcast episode with Jason Hoppe. It was so much fun! I hope listeners/readers learn a lot about InDesign from it.
