i am an Adobe Trainer for many years. This is by far the best tutorial video in under 15 minutes i have ever seen!👌 Sorry for my bad english, greetings from Germany!
Thank you for this! I've used InDesign in the past but I was never properly trained so every few years I have to come back and relearn things. I have a technical interview testing me on Photoshop and InDesign coming up in a few days and I really feel like this video got me up to speed! Liked, subscribed, about to binge watch the other videos you mentioned. 👍
You're a really good teacher, slightly fast, but still completely easy to follow as you enunciate well, your audio is great and you explain things step-by-step, keeping things very simple for newbies (tuts like this are rather difficult to find actually, considering there are tons of so-called "tutorials" out there, many are at hyper-speed and people skip or just don't even show the essential steps ). Thanks again, and I will look forward to checking out more of your tutorials as I am needing a refresher! Cheers, Cat-
yo this actually makes so much more sence now! I had a couple attempts at doing things in this programme at the uni, and always ended up SOO frustrated with it. Now I see that its just a completely different way of thinking that actually makes sence with what it was designed to do and is not only ment to annoy the user. Thanks a lot!
perfect! thank you! I'm training someone and needed a super simple video because this is her very first time using it. Some other "beginner" videos are even too advanced.
This is incredible. I'm just getting started on my career in Graphic Design and I've always sort of have been nervous to dabble around InDesign - this made it so much easier to understand. Keep this up!
Great video. Thanks for moving quickly. I just needed a little reminder because it's been a while and I could easily watch this because you just said it, showed and done.
Been using Pagemaker/InDesign since Version 1, I know, aging myself here. Regardless, I'm learning some little shortcuts I wasn't aware of. Awesome! Great work!
I thought that there had to be an easier way than the way I was taught. Images have been time consuming to get the right size and here you show me a simple and fast way to accomplish it. Also, locking the layers is going to be a game changer since what I've been asked to do is always in the same format. Now, I won't be able to accidentally move stuff around. Thank you!!!
I think I will need the 2 1/2 hour class. I too have used Canva and Powerpoint and want more. I found your review 'too' brief and light. For example, I reviewed several times to see how to import both images. I could not see where your cursor went to import the photos. I kept going back to see if I could locate it, but could not. You did give me a good orientation to know what my questions are so that tomorrow when I meet with a friend who knows In Design, I will know the questions to ask. Thank you for that.
Nice video. For anyone wanting to learn the program properly though I would suggest learning how to set up swatches and only apply colour by applying the swatch, rather than just locally applying colour. Also learn the importance of paragraph styles and character styles. It's way better to learn how to create a document that is properly structured as it pays off massively in the long run. I have been using this program since version 1.5 almost 25 years ago.
Very fast and easy to understand! Thank you so much! Needed to create a booklet for my fashion designs but I only knew how to use photoshop and a bit of illustrator. This is great!
Best Essentials Crash Course! It can be difficult with adobe to know just how much interface stays similar or not with so many suite applications. You made it very quick to assess. Thank you!
Could you tell me what is the reason of bad quality of imported picture even thou the image itself is in high resolution? I can’t figure that out. Also could you suggest best size for presenting online portfolios and how to export them so they wouldn’t be too heavy. Thank you in advance and I think you’re did great job with this super easy and short tutorial
Bad quality could be because of viewing mode in Indesign to save on computer resources. If you go to the top and go view > overprint preview, does that fix it? Best size I would say is a spread of 8.5 x 11, very versatile. But I have colleagues that would disagree with me, I think it depends by person.
thank you so much for this tutorial! i have an assignment coming up for my applied CAD course at university and i was too intimidated to start learning/using indesign but this makes me feel like i can manage ❤
I know PowerPoint. I’ve use Canva. I need to get something serious for newsletter layout and I am considering “In Design.“ I started with a 2 1/2 hour class on it and quickly saw that I did not need that long of an introduction. I watched your video and it was exactly what I needed to help me take another step in learning. Thank you. I note that someone below suggested you speak too fast. The wonderful thing about TH-cam is that you can slow the speed down. In fact, I sped up the video to 1.75 speed. I wondered a “quick “introduction.
Thank you for the tutorial! I think the reason why InDesign is usually the last thing for most creatives to learn is because Photoshop and Illustrator is already a pretty big hurdle (we wanted to be very adept in them first rather than the print/file formatting)
The way I think of layers on this type of program is that it's like each one is its own sheet of like plastic wrap with stuff drawn on it; you can see each layer through the clear plastic wrap, but you can only affect one at a time.
I'm so used to Photoshop hotkeys, and they don't work on InDesign like the full page CTRL + 0, lol. InDesign feels wonky to me in comparison to PS and AI, but nothing like studying and watching this video for some help to add to my belt as a future graphic designer. Thank you!
@ lol didn’t make it and had to hand it in a day late. I think there’s a 10% penalty but my work is really good so I should still get a distinction. Thanks again for teaching me indesign in 11 minutes tho lol. I found that changing the workspace to classic essentials made all the difference for me and it finally made sense after that
Please do continue the splendid work with the 2023 version! Leaned a few nice tricks. Aim for a better mic and some Aqustic dampening, 10% of the gas, flying around with the mouse, a crisper looking thumbnail - and you’ll have thousands of views in no time.
@@lyh_studio If you just export your final audio track to say an mp3 file and use the adobe enhance speech page online it will use AI to auto adjust your audio to sound closer to a studio booth set up. Its very impressive how well it works, whenever I have a interview I always send my talking track to go through the enhancer and save time dialing it in myself.
What to do if you want to remove the guides for printing? should I set the paste board to preview or just go tlo layout, guides and grids and hide guides?
Tryimg to learn this at 50 a little challenging i get most of it, then some how get lost at a part. I wrote a couple of books I want to format here and create my own mini magazine. Im determined to get this
Thank you so much for a quick and easy tutorial to get started in Indesign. Super clear and easy, answered all the questions that usually cause so much frustration when learning one of Adobe's programs and you know the answer is just staring you in the face! lol Liked, subscribed, and am heading over to your other videos now.
Great tutorial thanks! I'm practising with my portfolio in Indesign, but every time I open up my file I have to relink my images again and they are looking very striped? I don't move my images from any folder and my images come from a external hard drive. And I work in CPU on a Macbook Pro1. What could be the issue here please? Thank you very much!
Great intro, thanks! Will be looking for your others as I get into this, been a Photoshop user for decades and used to use BarfXPress for documents, now looking forward to a more familiar user interface with InDesign, cheers!
Great Video, I'm trying to rizz up my skills and as someone coming from Photoshop it's a relief to see so many similarities in InDesign. Will definitely be following for future videos and going through your current vids to continue growing. 🙌
Hey! Can I generate page #s, Calender dates & year dates in InDesign? I'm looking to makes a planner book that can be remade yearly w/o having to change each date.
Having watched your video, InDesign does not look so forbidding. My local library subscribes to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of programs. Definitely time to make a start on learning this software program.
Artist /Designer with over 21 years experience with Adobe products, learning InDesign. Your tutorials make things VERY accessible! Thanks!
Great to hear!
I’ve avoided this program for years. Thanks to your video I’m ready to tackle it! Thank You
same lol
I'm 76 and need to learn InDesign to create a family history book. Your explanations are very clear and helpful - Thanks!
Ignore the haters, I think you're doing great. I've watched all your videos as an up and coming designer
Thanks for the support! Anything in particular that youd like to see in the future?
@@lyh_studio I'd love to see a video covering brochure creation/setup design. Idk how feasible that is though! thanks for the reply!

This is incredible. I'm just getting started on my career in Graphic Design and I've always sort of have been nervous to dabble around InDesign - this made it so much easier to understand. Keep this up!
That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback and good luck with your career :)
I was struggling with a college class project and this helped me immensely! Thank you so much!
Great video. Thanks for moving quickly. I just needed a little reminder because it's been a while and I could easily watch this because you just said it, showed and done.
New to InD and have been stumbling my way through. You do a GREAT JOB making things accessible and content is pertinent! Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
I think your tutorials are very simple and easy to follow, thank you :)
Wow Straight to the point, Thanks Teacher!
Thank you! ❤ As someone with 0 experience and who couldn't even set up a simple file and navigate within this program, you made it easy.
You make it look so simple! I am actually getting back in to ID and this helps more than you know!
My first learning video for this software. Thanks for making it. Keep making videos!
Thank you for the kind words!

I missed my first design class about Adobe InDesign. This was really helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for this very concise tutorial!!
man i love the way you explain stuff, it´s so good!
I appreciate that!
Very powerful program. Maybe a bit too sensitive, and intimidating to the newcomer, but it is worth it.
So worth it!
Best Essentials Crash Course! It can be difficult with adobe to know just how much interface stays similar or not with so many suite applications. You made it very quick to assess. Thank you!
Thank You!!
Your channel is very helpful. I need to my opening page to the second page and put a new picture where the blank is . Can you help me with that?
Not quite I understand the question but if you just drag another picture into the frame it should just replace it!
Easy to follow along. Thank you!
I just learned about InDesign yesterday. Thank you for this super helpful tutorial. I will definitely check out your other videos!

Haha, yes InDesign is definitely not as robust as PS or AI but it doesn't need to. It's a really great program for what it does!
I can’t believe I was avoiding this program for all my 8 years of using illustrator, Photoshop and Premier pro 🤗
It's great! Especially for editorial design :)
Thanks mate very helpful
Thanks man this came in clutch now I gotta try and finish my assignment by midnight. Wish me luck
LOOL How did it go?

What to do if you want to remove the guides for printing? should I set the paste board to preview or just go tlo layout, guides and grids and hide guides?
The guides are set so they aren't printed! Press "w" to preview what your document will look like.
Thank you so muchhh broo. Ur the best
Worked 120%
Good job...thank you

Is it possible to import a word document ? For example a book poems of 50 pages with some illustrations ?

Hey! Can I generate page #s, Calender dates & year dates in InDesign? I'm looking to makes a planner book that can be remade yearly w/o having to change each date.
Sure, look into inserting text variables in the parent pages
Having watched your video, InDesign does not look so forbidding. My local library subscribes to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of programs. Definitely time to make a start on learning this software program.
It's really probably one of the easiest adobe programs so dive into it! :)
thank you so much
Great video! What do you use to create your thumbnails? Was this video's thumbnail made in InDesign?
Yup they sure are!
muchas gracias, muy bien explicado y sencillo de realizar
Great work buddy, my suggestion; your training would be even better if you emphasise the hyghlights text!! thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Appreciate it man! Do you mind elaborating? Should I go into more detail about how text works and behaves?
