Welcome to The InDesigner Videocast!
We’re pleased to welcome Michael Murphy and his top-notch videocast, The InDesigner, to InDesignSecrets!
If you click the Videocast link at the top of the left sidebar (right under the Podcast link), you’ll arrive at the new home we made for Michael, his own dedicated section of our web site. We’ve moved the existing posts, comments, and links from his old blog to here, so if you hadn’t had a chance to get to know this smart-as-a-whip guy or seen his tightly produced videocasts, you must check it out!
Covering topics such as Nested Styles (a three-parter), the Glyphs palette, and Tables, each video averages about ten minutes in length and is both illuminating and enjoyable. Michael optimizes the InDesigner videocasts for viewing at a large size, on-screen in your browser (not in an iPod) so you can see all the details of the InDesign techniques he demonstrates. He’s up to Show #28 already!
In the Videocast section, look for posts containing Show Notes, they contain the links that open the high-res Quicktime movies episodes. You can also subscribe to his videocast feed in iTunes so new episodes are automatically downloaded to your computer.
Michael is a full-time designer who somehow finds the time in his off-hours to put these together for the benefit of the InDesign-using community. We’re sure you’ll find Michael’s new home on InDesignSecrets to be a welcome addition, fitting perfectly in our mission of being the “The Independent Resource for all things InDesign.”
I’m very glad you’ve added this section. Congratulations to Michael for an excellent set of videocasts. I’ve immediately subscribed my wife as well as watching a few of them myself.
One additional point: The InDesigner videos are often made for both large-screen and iPod screens. (Michael includes a link to each one separately.) I think it’s really helpful to watch these on the small screen when I’m on the go.
Michael’s InDesign Inventory was brilliant. What a pleasant surprise to see you’ve joined forces. One of the nicest bonuses of learning CS2, after years of being held at arm’s length by a frustratingly uninterested Quark, has been the generous and robust user support community, both inside and outside of Adobe. Michael’s podcast has grown better and better with each episode. Fantastic.
Congrats Michael! Glad your plans are moving along.
