Course Synopsis: This class provides the QuarkXPress converter the ability to hone their skills and increase their knowledge of Adobe InDesign CS4 to a proficient level. Using prior QuarkXPress knowledge, students will create complex documents and work with a variety of palettes and tools to further understand and utilize the capabilities of this high-end design application. We recommend this course for those planning to migrate from QuarkXPress to InDesign or to obtain the Adobe Certified Expert status.
Who Should Attend: Graphic professionals who are already experienced in Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress and want more in-depth knowledge of the application and the management of complex documents.
Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course. In addition, students are required to be relatively well-versed in the basics of QuarkXPress.
