InDesign is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. This makes it easy to import and upload files. The InDesign interface has a similar layout as other Adobe products. The main focus of InDesign is providing you with the tools you need to create professional, attractive page layouts. It is a massive software with hundreds of features and tools, more than I can possibly go through in this post.
I will highlight some of the main features, and go through some of the tools to help get you started. Adobe has detailed guides and tutorials that you can use to learn about specific tools and functions.
InDesign has a great selection of layout templates that you can use for your project. However, if you prefer to design your own layout, InDesign has everything you need to get your page looking just right. When designing marketing materials or publishing a book, the text must look perfect. Even more than pictures, the text tells the story of your page, and having the right font, size, and design can be the difference between someone stopping to look at your published work or continuing to something else.
The process has been streamlined in the latest release of InDesign, making it possible to edit the PDF directly through InDesign without having to first do the work in Acrobat and then import it to your project.
You can share the PDF file and see any comments, notes, or changes made by other team members. The PDF can include interactive features such as buttons, video clips, bookmarks, transitions for multi-page documents, and audio. These features are incredibly useful when creating layouts and designs for the web.
With InDesign you can:. You can instantly publish your project online through InDesign without downloading any additional software or installing plugins. The finished project will have a shareable URL and can be viewed on computers and mobile devices. You can always update your published documents with new pictures, videos, or other multimedia components and simply republish the updated file. At first glance, InDesign appears to be a very complex program.
InDesign has a very useful tutorial that goes through the different panels and tools. Then, you can search for that tool in the tutorial to learn how to use it. InDesign has some beautiful templates that will help you get started. You filter them by web design, print media, and mobile to find the one that fits your needs. I found this to be really helpful in getting started before I attempted to create my own layout from scratch.
Adobe created a fully customizable interface for InDesign. It stays consistent with other Adobe apps by using the dark grey workspace, but you can change the color if you prefer something a little livelier. The main workspace is on the center of the screen with the most commonly used tools on the left, different options for the tools on the top bar, and panels and customization options on the right. The workspaces are really what makes InDesign so easy to use , especially with big projects.
You can create multiple workspaces, each dedicated to a different task, and quickly switch between them. I found this especially helpful when working on projects that include both print and interactive web-based projects. Each page has its own layout requirement, and I have dedicated workspaces for each. There are also workspaces dedicated to books, printing and proofing, and typography. You can change the workspace by clicking on the Workspace name on the top bar of your screen. InDesign version Version For the latest system requirements, see InDesign system requirements.
