Course Description

Turn ideas into professional, print-ready layouts with this free online Adobe InDesign course, built for anyone who wants to work faster and with more confidence in graphic design. Whether you are preparing a brochure for a client, a magazine-style publication, a resume, or a multi-page document for school or business, you will learn how to set up documents correctly from the start and keep them consistent all the way to export.

You will get comfortable inside the InDesign workspace and learn to manage pages efficiently, including master pages that let you apply repeating elements across an entire document. That foundation makes it easier to produce clean layouts at scale, while avoiding common formatting headaches when projects grow beyond a few pages.

A major focus is building reliable typography and structure. You will learn how to create, apply, and refine paragraph, character, object, nested, GREP, and Next Styles so your documents stay uniform and easy to update. This style-driven workflow is essential for modern layout production and is a key skill for editorial design, brand collateral, and long-form documents.

The course also helps you place and manage images and assets, control text flow, use text wrap creatively, and handle tables and page numbering with practical efficiency. Along the way, you will optimize your workflow with shortcuts, preferences, and libraries that speed up repetitive tasks while keeping files organized.

As you progress, you will move beyond static documents and learn to create interactive outputs, including hyperlinks, buttons, multi-state objects, page transitions, embedded media, and publish-online experiences. Finally, you will bring everything together through real-world design builds such as a CV, book layout and cover, poster, letterhead, postcards, brochures, menus, magazine covers, and a wall calendar. By the end, you will be able to design, package, and export projects with a production mindset for both print and digital delivery.
