Unlike any other InDesign book, the colorful Adobe InDesign CS One-on-One delivers a one-of-a-kind learning experience much like having private lessons with author Deke McClelland, an Adobe Certified Expert and professional trainer with nearly 20 years of experience. There's no better master than McClelland to show you how to master InDesign. He's a highly regarded expert and frequent lecturer on Adobe Photoshop, computer graphics, and design. He hosts the interactive Best of Photoshop CD that ships with Photoshop, and he has written more than 70 books. One of the most award-winning writers in the business, McClellenad is a member of the PhotoshopWorld Instructor Dream Team and a contributing editor for Macworld and Photoshop User magazines. In 2002, he was inducted into the National Association of Photoshop Professional's Photoshop Hall of Fame. Under McClelland's seasoned guidance, you will proceed at your own pace through twelve step-by-step lessons packed with entertaining and informative real-world projects. More than 500 full-color photos, diagrams, and screen shots walk you through InDesign's many features, and multiple-choice quizzes following each lesson let you test your knowledge--and serve as an exceptionally practical tool for classroom instructors.
