Even after working with the program for a while, I knew I had more to learn about InDesign, but Andrea Heser from the Arizona Republic opened my eyes to many, many tips and tricks to make publications more polished and professional. I can save lots of time this fall by creating libraries for the commonly used elements we need, instead of having students try to copy and paste from a previous issue. Styles, palettes, and objects were clearly explained.

Andrea Heser was an amazing presenter she showesd many great tricks to InDesign like aligning text to baseline, paste into, and more. If you are new to InDesign or a veteran there are many sites to get more tips.

DeleteInDesign has grown to be even more powerful than ever! I now art direct a digital weekly magazine for the Arizona Republic that is published on the iPad. I design with the interactive functions of InDesign now.
