Summary

Course Aim:

In this course participants seamlessly combine Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat to produce an integrated design document. Components of a design layout are produced in Photoshop and Illustrator, then combined into a multi-page inDesign document. A final pdf is produced with the help of Acrobat. Different workflows and ways of moving between the software packages are explored as well as various tips, tricks and real-life examples.
