Join me during one of my InCopy/InDesign seminars!

5

September 2009 is Learn InCopy month at InCopySecrets.com! Whether you’re a newbie wondering if InCopy could possibly work at your company; or you’re a veteran InCopy workflow team member in need of higher-level training, tips, tricks and troubleshooting help, I’ve got something for you.

Full-day InCopy seminars

First, I’m really excited to be able to do two full days of InCopy/InDesign workshops on September 15 and 16. (Finally, I’ll have the time to cover everything I want to cover!) I’ll be doing these in one of the beautiful presentation halls at the Institute for Graphics and Imaging, just west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It’s the same place where I did a 2-day InDesign Master Class a couple years ago, if any of you were there.

Each full-day workshop is “stand alone,” though I suppose some users might want to take advantage of the opportunity for face-to-face training and attend both days.

Tues., Sept. 15: Collaborative Workflows using Adobe InCopy and InDesign
Fee: $195 for all-day seminar; discounts available*

An introductory workshop to the InDesign/InCopy workflow, this session is ideal for prospective users or those who have recently switched and are still kind of unclear about it all. I’ll cover the different ways to set up the workflow (what gets installed where), who should (and shouldn’t) be using it, how to share stories and keep up to date, and so on. More details are available on the workshop registration page. or download the PDF brochure.

*Enter the InCopySecrets discount code ICS15 for $25 off! Other discounts are explained on the registration page.

Wed., Sept 16: Adobe InCopy and InDesign Master Class
Fee: $195 for all-day seminar; discounts available*

Though all users are welcome, I’m aiming this seminar at editors, designers, and production managers who have at least a few months of InCopy/InDesign (any version) under their belt. I plan to cover more advanced topics like creating InCopy layout templates, troubleshooting font issues and permission issues, tips and techniques for keeping all the files and filetypes straight and error-free, using cloud computing solutions for remote workflows, and more. More details are available on the Eventbrite registration page, or download the PDF brochure.

InCopy Webinars

If you can’t travel to Milwaukee, or can’t afford a full day outside of the office, but still need some InCopy workflow help,  how about an hour in front of your computer? I’m going to show just the most essential information from both of these workshops in two separate webinars.

Wed. Sept. 9: InCopy + InDesign: Getting Started
Fee: $39.00, for 1 hour webinar plus 15 minutes of Q&A

This is an introductory eSeminar on how the InCopy/InDesign workflow works, with essential information for new users on how to make the transition smoothly and successfully. Send me your questions beforehand, or stick around afterwards to ask them live. Register here.

Fee: $39.00, for 1 hour webinar plus 15 minutes of Q&A
