This course is not intended for beginners in InDesign. It’s designed for individuals who already understand the basics. If you’re comfortable adding text and images to InDesign documents, this course is for you. Even if you consider yourself an experienced user, I guarantee you’ll discover new tricks that will completely enhance your InDesign workflow.

We’ll dive deep into color management, exploring the color theme tool, color modes, and professional proofing for print. You’ll learn how to set permanent defaults for fonts and colors, and we’ll cover how to permanently turn off hyphenation once and for all. No advanced InDesign course would be complete without mastering paragraph control, auto-expanding boxes, spanning and splitting columns, and much more. You’ll become a Styles expert, working with nested styles, GREP styles, next styles, and advanced object styles.
You’ll also learn to create stunning charts and graphs for your InDesign documents, and gain insights into the pros and cons of various digital distribution methods, including Interactive PDFs, EPUBs, and the fantastic Publish Online feature. We’ll cover advanced techniques for handling long, text-heavy documents, including autoflowing, primary text frames, smart text reflow, cross-referencing, indexes, text variables, and the InDesign book feature. There’s even a dedicated section focused on speeding up your personal workflow and optimizing InDesign for peak performance.
Additionally, we’ll explore interactive forms and scripting in InDesign. There’s so much more covered in this course, but I can’t possibly list everything here. Feel free to check out the course video list for a comprehensive overview of what we’ll tackle. If you’ve been using InDesign and suspect there’s a faster, more efficient way to work, this is the course for you.
