InDesign for Beginners | FREE COURSE

[@TatianaMarquesPW]

I did it! And I am so exited! Thanks galore for the great tutorial. It was my first contact with InDesign and it was so easy because of the way you teach. Congrats!

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Glad you enjoyed it Tatiana!

[@katarinazemplenyiova7937]

Yes! This is exactly what I needed as well! Love it!

[@boggianluzecriacao]

Olá, Tatiana Marques Bom dia tem vídeo novo no nosso canal. Não perca!

[@siddhuezio]

I'm not able to get the source files :(

[@frankthetank7444]

Best teacher ever!!!

[@KQXT1]

I watched this tutorial before starting my job in December 2019 where I would be using Indesign every single day. I had never used Indesign before, but after watching this I started my job without any problems! I now recommend this video to all my new colleagues. Thank you!

[@Hexawatt]

Here I am doing exactly that. Interviewing with the place tomorrow and I think they are going to test me.

[@Elliotohyeah]

did they test you?@@Hexawatt

[@shruthig9926]

That's interesting to know.. did you have design background ? What do you work on if fine to share ?

[@KevinRogersSound]

As a self-taught professional needing to pick up InDesign for a freelance gig, this was incredibly thorough! "no man's land" is definitely going into my lexicon of adobe terms. Also, I quite liked the dive into the computer.

[@envatotuts]

Thank you!

[@chi6137]

Unbelievable that this video got thumbs down. The best tutorial on InDesign I've seen so far. Great job and thank you. Well put together.

[@aditi81098]

Amazing tutorial. Searched all over to find the best tutorial for indesign and found this one. Really learned a lot.

Thank you, Dan! This video was really helpful. I worked in InDesign more than a decade ago, and now I want to self-publish my books on Lulu, so, this was helpful to remember and learn the basics!

[@tinahawrys688]

That was so helpful, thank you so much. You are a great teacher!

[@dpsindhiyt]

Your explanation is very clean and clear Thx

[@envatotuts]

You are welcome!

[@chandanabala7578]

I loved this video. Thank you for the tutorial. I'm learning through your Udemy course as well which is super useful.

[@sukhpreetkaur8219]

Thank you, God Bless 😇

Wonderful ... Love from India

[@pegahkafaei]

thanks a loooot, so useful tutorial

[@dmp7252]

I have a question regarding INSIDE margins. I hope I’m using the right terminology. How do we work with bleed when the InDesign document set up is set to “Facing Pages.” Given the two pages are butted together when using “Facing Pages,” the red bleed line only goes around the top, bottom and “outside” edges. That red line never touches the “INSIDE” edges, or the edges that would go into the spine. This is important for me because sometimes I have two pages right next to each other, they both have bleed, but I’m not sure where one should end, and the other begins. Hopefully you can help. Thanks!!!!!

[@joannawie]

Hi! Is there any way to stop InD cutting certain paragraphs in two (i.e. between facing pages)?

[@saranshafiq4657]

You got a subscriber.....😍😘

WORKING!

[@hiyaworld2170]

thank you

[@envatotuts]

You're welcome

[@marcelvanlierop]

You are, hands down, the best voice-over of a tutorial I've ever heard. Plenty of dynamic range in your voice, some humor, up-to-speed, sufficient base and a nice accent to listen to. Bravo!

[@kingoftheorient]

That's what I taught, too! English is not my first language but I consume a lot of English media...this guy is HANDS DOWN a GREAT TEACHER!

[@hannahpingi1987]

Yes, I like his voice too!

Hi everyone. Dan the instructor here. Exciting. Just 20 minutes to go.

[@fanny5979]

this was really helpful, thank you!! can you give me the links for the illustrator and photoshop tutorials?

[@christymathew9723]

Greetings Dan, Appreciate your work, I hve a small issue. I'm not able to locate my property tab, I hve cc 2014

[@parthgohil7023]

Like how you matched the spectacles on the owl behind.

[@jempossible5879]

Hi Dan, Thanks for this. After finishing this tutorial, can I skip to your Advanced course instead of going through the Essential course?

[@johncyril5117]

ayeee my man love from india , our college professor made us buy each and every course of yours on udemy XD best teacher u r love u loads : )

[@robertdixon1189]

Still an amazing intro course in 2022! Love your teaching style, providing the source files makes it incredibly easy for beginners, and love the personal touches as well. Makes it feel fun to follow along!

[@pinkroses912]

I feel so accomplished after following this tutorial. I love your voice and teaching style! It's like you know I"m slow at this because you repeat each step. A lot of people doing tutorials forget that their viewers are newbies and start moving way too fast. You didn't do that! Though I'm going to probably watch this 5 more times, I just wanted to say that this is the best tutorial I've found thus far. Thank you so much!

[@youandijmh7998]

**laughing at the Final/Final New** "You're laughing cause you've done it" **laughing even harder** That part was just too accurate. Love your style of commentary.

[@nvwest]

A bit too relatable haha

[@mrjebix]

That was SOOOOOO on point. Laughing my a** off!

[@McNallyOfficial]

Very clean and straightforward tutorial. Thank you!

[@EPICSAWIKI]

Came Here for a college class and I stumble upon my favorite locking madman. Fun surprise lol.

[@jonnysegway7866]

Still a useful course after 4 years, much better than even paid ones!

[@aspenlovesbirds]

You are one of the single best online lecturers I have ever seen, I sat down and watched this entire thing in one go!! Thank you for making this available on KZbin!

[@yadusnair6233]

This is hands down the best tutorial I have ever come across.... Much respect for u Sir 😍

[@bkfinest006]

OMG, thank you so much! You just made me a pro in 2.5 hours. This was so detailed and helpful. I'm pretty familiar with Photoshop, never used InDesign. New subscriber for sure, video was so helpful and well put together.

[@leng.j.s.7627]

I'm new to InDesign and watching random tutorial to learn until I found this gem. This is amazing, well explained and humorous tutorial, thank you very much.

[@douzhishen1]

Brilliant teaching mate

[@StudioHemtex]

I went through this amazing tutorial in one go and solved a lot of issues I faced when tried to learn it by myself. Well-structured step-by-step tutorials from A to Z combined with hands- on approach are easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge in such effective way!

[@levytate2450]

Best tutorial ever for any program! And lol "Use Arial, let's go crazy" hahaha

[@JayTheAuthor]

I just want to say thank you ever so much for this tutorial, opening In Design for the first time with your tutorial felt like such a smooth transition from Photoshop, I never felt bored throughout the entire tutorial, even though some tools are similar to Photoshop which I have used for many years, this video saved me a debt in school and a refinement in knowledge of tools haha, thank you so much! Its wonderful! Wish you all the best!

[@glenizdamenace]

5 minutes in and I already know that I’m going to love this tutorial! Thank you!!

[@valbonahalili1440]

Please don't ever delete these tutorials! They're the best!

[@bintjahsh8802]

I just finished watching this over a couple of days and I must say it's thoroughly explained, concise and straight to the point. I've not seen a better put together KZbin tutorial. Thanks a lot Dan. I can't wait to dig into the Illustrator and Photoshop courses. You're the best!

[@creativewhiterabbit.]

Hi Dan - Thank you so much for this video - I have just begun a Graphic Design degree, and I have never used the Adobe suit before. This tutorial, as well as your other ones, have been INCREDIBLE in helping me to get a basic understanding of this software - which has eased my nerves and anxiety more than you will ever know! Thank you ❤️

[@pygmyink]

I was thinking of waiting on watching the whole video before leave a comment, but here I am... Anyway, thank you for a tutorial in InDesign. Because I am a bit of newbies on this part, Illustrator and Photoshop is OK, I am more of Photoshop "native". But expanding the horizon is always great. Therefore, a positive compliment shall apply. Thank you for this video and the teaching, since I've missed my class in InDesign lecture today, I will use this video and do a self-study in the meantime. Keep up the good work, will be back for more :) Thanks :D Best regards

[@mawialvarado]

The best tutorial I have ever watched! This guy is a natural teacher! I love this so much. You, sir, will definitely be my go-to guy for tutorials!

[@mariadolotova7969]

It's my third course and I'm now using Dan's 'Cool, huh!' all the time.😅 Are you guys also doing this?

[@timwinchester9813]

The best tutorial EVER! Just like his Illustrator and Photoshop tutorials... IT CAN'T BE ANY BETTER!!!

[@CHayaPhoto]

"you are laughing 'cuz you've done it" - just that already deserves the like 🤣

[@clarkandbettie]

This is THE BEST tutorial. I needed a refresher after a year off, and learned so many things I never even knew before. You are a great teacher! I want to watch your tutorials on Illustrator and Photoshop now too!

[@ievakalniskane1992]

I will do the same :)

[@sriontimaitra6804]

It's taken me a while to get through this course purely due to my own procrastination, but BOY am I glad I finished it - you answer all of my questions before I can ask them, and I feel equipped to actually hit the ground running in terms of being able to use basic elements and shortcuts. I love how it's equally geared towards people that don't have the newest version or might be using PCs instead. Fantastic, and I'm 100% going to move on to the Photoshop one next! Thank you so much!

[@sweetolangggg]

This tutorial was extremely helpful! If you're wanting to learn to use InDesign, you only need to watch this one video and you'll be set!!

[@PardosMultimedia5056]

I really like this tutorial. And I'm enjoying the class. Thank you

[@karenvagabond6563]

Wow, what a fantastic teacher you are. Love how you revisit shortcuts and processes from previous lessons. Really helps to cement the learning. Thank you very much!

[@vinnyc1163]

Your a lifesaver brother, using this to prepare for a potential internship soon and for the future, appreciate it

[@josealbertoserveraayala5633]

No doubt the best tutorial I have seen for Adobe programs. Dan is super clear, all the course runs smoothly and he has a great sense of humour. Plus the course covers all the essentials on a proper way for a beginner. Simply outstanding!!!

[@rhondaholloway8067]

Huge thank you! Great class, never used InDesign before and just a place to start, this was perfect!!! I'll be checking out other things from you.

[@tlacor2]

I watched this whole thing and it was EXTREMELY helpful as a newbie to InDesign. I loved the teaching style a lot. Very digestible and hands on. Thank you!

[@gator804]

Thank you for this video! I have 0 experience with this type of software, and you helped bring me up to speed quickly. I would have been lost without this video.

[@kathleenmadden3394]

Without a doubt you are the best KZbin teacher I have seen Danial Walter Scott! You are fast paced, thorough, and easy to follow because you start at the beginning and show screens for every action. Captions are also helpful. Thanks so much.

[@envatotuts]

Wow, thanks!

[@sneha-tl2oc]

Oh my god. You make every element of the project alive! It's rare to find such amazing teachers. I feel so glad I found this tutorial since I was struggling with the little stupid things that comes with InDesign.

[@carina_balbo]

Hi there! can we see this useful video later on? Now I'm struggling to focus!

[@jatyst]

Nice tutorial, Its easy to understand and I have learned all the basic things about Adobe InDesign.. Thank you sir

[@envatotuts]

You are most welcome

[@celestialmaeden]

I am literally soooooo thankful for Dan for these amazing courses. I've had struggles in learning illustrator and indesign for a looooong time, having these apps just on-standby. I know there are a lot of tutorials on youtube, specific ones, but nothing can beat an actual course where they will actually teach you the basics and the actual usage of these tools and not just skipping through them. I've watched his Illustrator free course first, and you have no idea how well it taught me! Now, I am able to make my own graphic design (even my own logo from procreate > illustrator) then made T-Shirt designs for fun. I have no idea how fun it is to do it in Illustrator. I've only been relying on photoshop for all things creative. Now I know why so many people would prefer Illustrator for some other things, and now, even InDesign. You have no idea how many people you've taught so much from these courses. Please make more adobe courses. You are honestly the best!

[@BeHappyNoMatterWhat]

Thank you for explaining ppi. This was so confusing to me for an extremely long time. You answered all my questions about ppi in this video. Thank you so much

[@TomCh60]

Although this tutorial is four years old, it is still relevant in 2024 (v. 19.1). Dan's pace of instruction is relaxed and easy to follow.

[@amanpatel8256]

When he said, Guru, i was like.... Dang !!!! Damn this Video was amazing !!!! it was easy and loved it !!

[@eelsteele7528]

Daniel, thank you so much. I have always been intimidated by InDesign, but this was a great intro! I'm looking forward to diving into it more. One awesome shortcut that Adobe products now have is that if you have a text box that's larger than the text, you can double click on one of the handles of the text box and it'll auto-fit to the text! Thanks again for the great tutorial!

[@SteveHaiman]

Great course. I'm brand new to InDesign, and you've given me a great way to get started. Thank you.

[@Potencyfunction]

You are brand new? What brand you are ?

[@MrBrightside_199]

The tutorial I was given was complicated. I was struggling, and this was so informative and easy to follow. Thanks!

Thank you!😘 I'm 30 minutes in but I'm following along. You have no idea what that really means. All the love. God bless you.

[@silvia-px8fb]

Thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial! You are so nice and a great teacher ^^

[@shdwhealer]

What makes your courses great is that you make sure you show the action and it is big enough to see. You explain very well, completely but succinctly. So many others don't. This is the best example of "How to do a How To video" I have ever seen on any topic. Large job. Perhaps you should do videos on how to teach via video.

[@Hans-bf7mv]

This is such a great tutorial. Thank you so much! You're very thorough, with perfect pacing and a perfect tone to listen to. I'll definitely checkout your other tutorials. This video just earned me a new skill I can put in my resume and hopefully I can get gigs in the future with this.

[@wendyong4787]

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Love Daniel as a teacher. Thank you!

[@ricorodriguez3579]

So, how does one practice this if you don't actually own a copy of InDesign? They don't have a student version and I don't think someone should just buy a copy (or subscribe) just to tinker and learn. Their 7 day trial is a joke.

[@saharrezvanpour9209]

Really the BEST tutorial ever! Very comprehensive for a beginners tutorial with a natural flow of information, not overwhelming at all and definitely not boring!!! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your tutorials!! Also... pretty sure if you had an AutoCAD tutorial I would actually be able to finish it without being bored out of my head :)

[@marylafrance9547]

Thanks this is a gold mine! Got a freelance assignment that requires this program.

[@andynadela1122]

Love your accent, man! Thanks for this tutorial. I had zero InDesign skill...now I have 1 or 2. haha!

[@dalyaaki790]

THIS WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST INDESIGN TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN!!! thank u so much. I have to do a magazine for my editorial design class in uni and I never understood anything my teacher said, but with this tutorial I learned everything I need to know. THANK U SO MUCH!!!!!

[@aniruddhadsouza5936]

This is one of the best articulated tutorials i have come across. Love the simplicity at which you teach, just amazing:)

[@FredriKj2]

Thank you so much for these tutorials of the Adobe CC. As a newbie to it all they are incredibly helpful! Don't really see why anyone would click the thumbs down. Hater's gonna hate I guess!

Ahhh! I’ll be doing this tutorial this weekend!! I’m in love with that owl with the glasses in the background lol

[@DeepaIyer-z3i]

This course is just amazing. I designed two magazines after the course, it makes you that independent. It's also been a great source and a guide for going back and retaking the lessons when you are stuck. Thank you so much for creating something that's so wonderful and useful.

[@raquelbenguiatrsf]

Printers will impose on standard sizes SRA3 and SRA2. There other sheet sizes (like a B1, web (630/880mm reels) and also cutstar. But just depends on the plantlist and your requirements) 🙂

[@chrismutinda3628]

Hi Dan. In my version of InDesign CC (i.e. 17.0), effective PPI is not displayed as one number e.g. 300 ppi. It is displayed as two numbers e.g. 305x299. Did Adobe change how they display effective PPI?
