Overview

Adobe InDesign is the professional tool for creating polished and effective marketing materials. In this two-day course you’ll learn how to design flyers, posters, social graphics and simple brochures that communicate clearly and attract attention. Starting with layout principles and typography, you will develop skills to organise information and make visual choices that suit your message.

You will practise placing images, creating consistent branding through colours and fonts, and structuring multi-page documents. The course also covers exporting for both print and digital formats, ensuring your designs always look sharp.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a complete a set of promotional assets. These can be used as part of your portfolio or for a personal/community project.
