I am currently taking a publication design class. We're using a somewhat new program, Adobe Indesign. Before the class began, I had no experience with the program. Although I've only been in the class for a little over a month, I absolutely love it.
I've always been relatively creative. In high school I loved art and was an active member in the National Art Honor Society. I've even won a couple of awards. The art I did previously was all material and didn't involve computers. Now that I'm learning more and more about publication design, I wish I began sooner.
Adobe Indesign has what seems like a million different features. I'm learning how to add color effects to almost everything, how things should look on a page to be the most visually appealing. It's really very interesting. Have you heard of serif and sans serif typefaces? Turns out one type is easier to read than the other, and there are many reasons why!
I'm excited to learn more about publication design and maybe even take classes to further my knowledge of design.
Has anyone else used Indesign? If so, what are your impressions?

I've never used the program but always wanted to. I used to want to learn QuarkXpress because it was the industry standard. But then InDesign became popular. You are the first person I have talked to who has actually used the program. It sounds exciting and you sound excited to be using it. You have increased my interest in it even more. Publication Design. I've been thinking about taking that class also. Now, I think I will.
Yeah I had Publications Design with Professor Dobberstein. We used Adobe Pagemaker.
Man that thing was a blast. It's really cool because you can look at flyers and newsletters that are printed out and you can really tell who uses it and who doesn't.
Not to mention you can design some really professionial looking stuff.
oooooohh...I'm jealous! I took pub design, but we used the old Adobe Pagemaker....but I love Pagemaker..it's easy and fun. Do you know if they have Indesign for sale at the PUC bookstore? I buy all the available programs from the bookstore because you never know when you'll need 'em. Hey they have student discounts!
