InDesignSecrets is proud to announce two new upcoming eSeminars:

InDesign 101: Tips and Q&A for Beginners, Wednesday July 22

Attention All InDesign Beginners! Have you been using InDesign for less than a year? Perhaps you are a recent convert from QuarkXPress, or perhaps you’re new to page layout. Come join internationally renowned InDesign expert, author, and trainer David Blatner for this one-hour “Essentials” seminar that will help you get up and running better than ever!

  • Essential tips that every InDesign user needs to know.
  • The most important preferences you should change before you even start working.
  • Top 10 “gotchas” that frustrate new InDesign users (and what to do about them)
  • Extra-long live Q&A session lets you ask the questions you have been burning to get answered!

Typography Deep Dive Thursday, August 6

Everyone loves good typography! And typography, the art and arrangement of type, is arguably InDesign’s biggest strength. Unfortunately many people are never exposed or do not have the time to learn the more subtle aspects of type that can make or break a design. Come join InDesign expert James Fritz in an exploration of the often neglected areas of type inside InDesign.

  • How to get great-looking type with a minimum of effort.
  • Maximizing quality by adjusting Hyphenation and Justification settings
  • Creative typographic uses for ordinary characters
  • Understanding (and managing) fonts, families, and glyphs

Who Should Attend?

Whether you use a Mac or Windows, regardless if you’re using InDesign CS3 or CS4, you’ll learn a ton of “use-it-today” techniques in both of these information-packed e-seminars!

Note that when you register for either of these eSeminars, you’ll have the option to show up live at the event, or watch its recording anytime within two weeks. So no matter what time zone or country you’re in, you can watch and learn at whatever time is best for you!

At the end of each seminar, we’ll open the floor to questions, which you can type into the chat window in your browser. If you can’t attend live, we’ll still attempt to answer your questions via email.

You do not need any special software to view these Webinars — just your normal Web browser and speakers on your computer.
