Event Details

Need to get more done in less time? Do you use Adobe InDesign? This full-day fast-paced fun-filled seminar presented by InDesign guru Anne-Marie Concepcion will give you the tips tricks and techniques you need to make the leap from "user" to "Power User!"

InDesign is an industrial-strength application but it can only perform well when you know what buttons to press which features to take advantage of and how best to use them.

Seminar topics include:

  • The Top 5 Techniques every InDesign user needs to know
  • GREP Styles, Live Captions, Quick Apply, and other power user secrets
  • Bridge? MiniBridge? Links panel? Best practices for working with images
  • Jumping into digital eBook publishing with EPUBs and Kindle 
  • Finding and using the free scripts, templates, and artwork that you didn't know you had
  • Concentrates on CS5 and CS5.5, but much applies to CS3/CS4 too

Plus, Anne-Marie will offer both a morning and an afternoon Q&A session to help get your questions answered and your problems solved! Bring your INDD files on a USB Flash drive, the doctor is in!

Note: Our seminar room for this event is smaller than usual. The smaller group means you'll enjoy more interaction with Anne-Marie and your colleagues,  but we'll be selling out much sooner than in the past. Please reserve your spot accordingly! 

Bonus Materials

Along with the full-day of training your registration fee includes over a hundred dollars worth of extras:

  • A one-year subscription to InDesign Magazine ($59 value; if you have a subscription already it can be extended)
  • Two great InDesign plug-ins useful to any professional designer ($50 value!)
  • A one-month "all you can eat" subscription to the Lynda.com online training library ($25 value!)
  • The InDesignSecrets Top 40 Tips eBook (normally $10)

Plus door prizes will be drawn from the list of registered attendees (must be present to win). Prizes include posters, software, training videos and more!

We look forward to seeing you LIVE!
