This course will familiarize students with Adobe InDesign software in order to create a high quality photo book. InDesign has been the industry standard for designing photo books and other publications for over a decade. It is one of the best choices available to help designers with the creation of any kind of printed media such as books, magazines, posters, and postcards.

Students can expect to learn a variety of design and display options, and learn to harness InDesign in order to share their photography through printed media. 

Participants will take part in the creation of a shared photo book as a practice module, then apply the techniques they have learned to their own project that will be developed throughout the six sessions of the course.

  • Students must have access to a computer with InDesign software installed. Participants are expected to have adequate knowledge of the basics of photography.
