InDesign Exercise
InDesign: Overview and Exercise 1
The first application we’re going to learn is InDesign.
Make sure that you have the Adobe software properly installed and that you can launch InDesign. Then download the exercise folder:
- InDesign exercise 1
Expand the compressed file. The folder contains a text document and some photos that we’re going to use for the InDesign exercise. You should save your work in this folder.
You can also download this PDF, which is a short manual on InDesign, and covers all the tasks that we’re going to be doing:
- ID Manual
Then watch the four videos below, which will demonstrate how to use the application and how to complete the exercise. I would suggest launching InDesign and following along, pausing the video when necessary.
Total time for the videos is about 54 minutes, so you should give yourself a minimum of two hours to complete this exercise.
This video will demonstrate step-by-step how to do exercise 1.
Name the publication package folder that you generated with your last name first: 'Yourname.id-exercise', zip compress it and drop it into the D2L dropbox.
