wow.... a previous commenter said it best, "Finally an InDesign video that doesn't spend eight hours on absolute basics, but yet clearly explains intermediate and advanced strategies without skipping steps or assuming niche knowledge." Well done, subscribing asap and looking forward to the future!

The thing I like the most about your tutorials is that you are kind and nice, and professional at the same time. I don't feel myself like a stupid student :) I learn a lot and don't feel any pressure. Thank you very much for your approach.

I had the week off, but due to COVID times, it was a staycation. I decided that I wanted to learn ID. I do know most of the other Adobe product line, but have never really touched ID. I watched the Beginners and this video. I followed along with the examples and project file downloads. I don't usually do that on tuts like this, but I wanted to be experiential. I watched on one laptop while I did things myself on another. I would like to say that this is totally worth all that I paid, but that would be a lie. I paid nothing at all, and I got tons of valuable training. This was so well done, and you did such a great job on this. It was a joy, and now I feel confident about working in ID. Thank you for this!

Fantastic. I've been using In Design for over 8 years now and I've just learnt so much more in the last 90 minutes. Excellent work. Thanks

Finally an InDesign video that doesn't spend eight hours on absolute basics, but yet clearly explains intermediate and advanced strategies without skipping steps or assuming niche knowledge. Liked the video very soon. Multiple times while watching attempted to do so again. Never wanted to multiple-Like? a vid more than this one. Great stuff! Still on it, but will check out the extended course.

Hey Mate, just want to thanks you for doing these GD tutorials, They are super helpful and your teaching methods are excellent, I've learnt some new skills and shortcuts which will benefit my work flow.

It was a great course (beginners and advanced) to refresh things. The only thing I was missing is how to make a folder or book with the number of pages, the content and general page design as a format. But in only 4 hours you cannot teach everything. It was a valuable course. Thanks.

@ 1:25:53, "try to put it in the middle". There are page centering functions for vertical and horizontal in the toolbar at the top. Pretty valuable information totally glossed over.

Blown away by your videos. I am going through this course after doing your beginner's course within the same week. How well you present this information has given me so much confidence as someone who has lacked confidence in ever learning these tools. I was able to find tools on my own because of the confidence your videos have given me, for example, not sure if you showed how to access the "stroke" window, but I was able to take a breath and realized "it's a window, must be in the window section." And boom there it is. Thank you!

I am an old-school typesetter (Quark express the InDesign for over 25 years) and would argue that points is still the way to go. If you use inches or millimeters, the paragraph leading and spacing will always have fractional numbers. I hate fractional numbers. The point system is much more efficient when creating precise, detailed grids. Very informative and fun video that taught an old dog some new tricks. Cheers, Erich Collar

Dan is the best instructor I have ever had 💯❤️

I've been using just Photoshop for years now and recently a friend put Illustrator and InDesign on my PC. I've been doing your courses and i have to say that I'm really enjoying them. Just wanted to say thanks for that. Your videos are easy to follow and clear compared to most other videos on YouTube in this area.

U are one of the few that their tutorial on YouTube is well explained and easy to follow. Thanks a lot.

My fave rich black is C60 M40 Y20 K100 - so nice to see you talk about this :)

I'm working with Indesign for 8 years or so now, so there was a lot in this video I already knew. but still there were a few handy things I never even heard of. You made my Indesign working experience a lot easier! Even if knew a lot already you kept me entertained to watch the whole thing big thumbs up for you!!

Hey Dan, I would like to tell you that this has been very helpful course and you have been an awesome tutor during this course. It has really contributed significantly in improving my skill in Indesign! Thanks Dan! and keep on inspiring by publishing such wonderful tutorials!

With your videos my learning curve will shrink drastically. Thank you.
