ID Homework #1 - Tutorials

In order to prepare for creating projects using InDesign, I found three beginners tutorials that would help me learn how to use Adobe InDesign.  Below are the three tutorials.


The first tutorial is called Learn Adobe InDesign in 9 minutes. The short video describes in depth the basic functions and tools that are contained in InDesign which include creating a new document, setting initial document preferences (i.e. title and units), and how to use Pages, Layers, and Paragraphs. After watching the video, I did not find any tools that would be hard to use as many of them are straight forward. InDesign would be a good tool to use to make posters or pages in magazines. InDesign sounds fun and I am exited to use it. The most interesting thing from the video was how to create pages and layers.



The second tutorial was called Adobe InDesign Tutorial for Beginners. The video was a little over 5 minutes. The short video showed how to create text frames, add images, add sidebar text, and how to use columns and margins in a new document. After watching the video, I found the tools to be easy and straightforward. The most interesting thing about the video is it had four different people demonstrate how to use Adobe InDesign.



The third tutorial is called Learn InDesign CC - Beginner Tutorial. The video was approximately 12 minutes long. Of the three tutorials, I found this tutorial the most helpful. The video showed how to create a new document and spent more time on the preset options where you set the file name, units, width & height, orientation, and facing pages. The most interesting thing about the video is the video gave a tour of workspace, menu bar, application bar, control pane, tools pane, and the document panels.
