InDesign
NEW!
Mac Mouse Adobe InDesign is rapidly becoming the industry standard, and
a new generation of designers have cut their teeth on it since it was
introduced six years ago. InDesign’s use of precision typography,
transparency, unlimited undos, and seamless Photoshop, Illustrator, and
Acrobat PDF are great reasons to switch. Training sessions are all hands-on,
project-based, and are taught at Pellissippi's state-of-the-art Mac lab.
Each participant gets individual attention and leaves with a textbook
and CD of take-away projects they can use to continue building professional
skills.
