InDesign Links, Sites, Resources

No one person (or Web site) can contain every bit of knowledge about any particular subject anymore — the world is just too complex. So here are some of our favorite resources outside of InDesignSecrets.com:

InDesign Wish List and Bug Reports: If you find a bug in InDesign or want to send Adobe a wish-list item for a future version of the program, visit Adobe’s Feedback page.

InDesign Plug-ins: Managed by Adobe’s legendary Mark Niemann-Ross, you can find many great plug-ins listed here.

Scripting InDesign: If you want to learn more about scripting in InDesign, check out these cool resources:

Magazine: If you’re a serious InDesign user, you need a subscription to InDesign Magazine. (See this post for a special deal for InDesignSecrets readers.) You can also sign up for their free tip-of-the-week there (written by our own David Blatner).

Books: Information on the Web is all very well and good, but we believe there is no real substitute for a good book on the subject. Click here for a list of books we recommend.

Videos: One of the best ways to learn InDesign is to watch a video. Michael Murphy’s TheInDesigner is one good free resource. Another is the videos at Lynda.com. You can get a free one-week trial subscription to lynda.com and watch hundreds (or thousands!) of movies on all kinds of subjects.

User Groups: The InDesign User Groups are a great place to get more information about InDesign. Check out a local meeting, or visit the Web site for information about what other groups are learning.

Online forums: You can post questions and read solutions at the independent InDesignTalk listserv and Adobe’s InDesign forums.

Conferences/Seminars: Get together with several hundred of the world’s leading InDesign users and trainers at The InDesign Conference.
