    Description
    For professionals in the magazine and newspaper industry, Adobe InDesign is indispensable. In this course, students will develop beginning desktop publishing skills using Adobe InDesign for common tasks such as publication layout design, full-page spreads, multi-page layouts, and will learn how to use the generative AI-powered capabilities of Text to Image and Generative Expand in existing InDesign tools. Students will complete real-world assignments such as fliers, brochures, slideshows, promotional materials, and newsletters for print and PDF output that simulate freelance projects. Using hands-on projects, students will learn to identify lucrative opportunities, hone their skills, and leverage artificial intelligence (AI), to create in-demand work.
