Where to Find Great InDesign Templates, Part 1
Templates Formerly Inside InDesign (Now Available Outside InDesign)
If you’ve been an InDesign user for a while you may be aware that InDesign itself used to ship with a selection of templates commissioned by Adobe from leading layout designers (see Figure 3). InDesign CS4 was the last version to include those templates, but InDesignSecrets.com later negotiated a license to distribute them. They’re all in CS4-format, but, of course, they can be opened easily in CS5, CS6, and CC.
Figure 3: Some of the CS4 templates available again.
The collection includes more than 75 templates for the following purposes:
• Books
• Photobooks
• Recipe books
• Catalogs
• Manuals
• Menus
• Magazines
• Newspapers
• Newsletters
• Bi- and tri-fold brochures
• Flyers
• Media kits
• Presentations
• Storyboards
• Labels of various sizes and types
• Business identity sets (letterhead, envelopes, fax cover sheets, business cards, and so on)
• CD and DVD labels and cases
• DataMerge-ready labels, brochures, and flyers
• Forms for expense reports, invoices, quotes, statements, and price lists
• Resumes
You can download the templates individually here. They’re all free to use, whether for personal or commercial purposes.
