I used InDesign in undergrad while working with the college newspaper. Therefore, I only knew how to layout text, create headlines, etc. AKA the basics! Even learning these basics over a two year time span took me sometime. Let’s just say I’m not very tech savvy. There are so many tiny icon in the program that do so many different things. I do not think the program’s use of semiotics is very helpful because there are just too many icons to memorize. Other then that, I love InDesign and it’s accuracy. It’s a lot easier to create fliers, invitations, advertisements, with InDesign rather then Microsoft Word (which I have used previously)!
I think this obstacle of mine can only be achieved over time, and I definitely think taking this class will improve my technical skills with InDesign. I have so many awesome ideas popping in my head, it is just difficult to get them down on paper using InDesign. I cannot wait to learn how to use Photoshop and apply that to what I’ve learned using InDesign to come up with some amazing designs!
