Throughout the 5 courses, get to know the ins and outs of InDesign and the main tools it offers for creating editorial projects, whether you’ve never touched an Adobe software before and are interested in editing your projects, or you’re familiar with the programs and want to create more professional editorial projects.

Necessary preparation

• A computer with Windows 7 or macOS 10.12 Sierra (or later).
• Adobe InDesign CC 2014 or later (you can buy it or download the 7-day trial version from the Adobe website).
• Although it is not essential, it would be useful to have a printer and a code editor (Atom, Braquets, or even TextEdit) for the 5th course.
