A Beginner’s Guide to Adobe InDesign: How to Create An Undated Printable Planner

Adobe InDesign is an awesome program for creating multiple page documents — in fact, it is the industry leader for desktop publishing!

That said, it can be a little intimidating, so if you have put off learning Adobe InDesign because it seemed so overwhelming or difficult, then this class is for you. 

This is an introductory class, and I will walk you through the basics of InDesign, as we create an undated printable planner together.

The class is divided into segments, and within each segment, we will cover 1-2 tools and techniques as we create our planner.

By the end of this class, you'll have: 

• learned how to navigate the InDesign workspace,
• customized your preferences and workspace so that the program works FOR you each and every time you open it up,
• learned how to create document presets, guidelines and frames, color schemes, tables and grids, paragraph styles, master pages, and how to export documents.
• learned how to design your undated printable planner
• a planner file that you can offer as a printable, or have published by a site like Kindle Direct Publishing, for sale on Amazon, and
• learned a new skill that you can use to earn a passive income if you choose.

I'm excited to share this program and skill with you! 

So let's get started — see you in class!
