This class is for students who know the basics of InDesign and want to dive deeper and develop their understanding of layout options, typography, fonts, RGB vs. CMYK, speaking the language of printers and designers, as well as tools to improve your workflow including text and object styles, how to troubleshoot a document, and prepare your project for printing. We’ll examine each student’s individual project to help tweak the design and improve it, taking it to the next level. This class is limited to only 6 students.

I must say that I really, really enjoyed — and benefited from — Edward’s InDesign class! Not only did I learn how to use InDesign, but I also received feedback to help me continue working on my book projects. Over the past year I have learned that participating with other image makers is an essential part of my photography practice. I particularly like the way Strudelmedia classes combine valuable skills with individual attention.

What a great class — I learned a lot and found it very inspirational!
