    I love this course! I had ZERO experience with any of the Adobe products and this was my first course. Really great for beginners - slow and through. About to start "beyond the basics"! Thanks, Erica!

  • Hans-Joachim J. Jan 18, 2022

    I would never have been able to come along with inDesign that fast - thank you so much!

  • O. Sep 20, 2021

    Great class for someone who literally knows NOTHING about InDesign. I am a very new user and Erica was able to teach me the basics plus some more complex ways to create in InDesign.

  • V. Jan 12, 2021

    Fantastic course. I have used Illustrator and photoshop, but learned when under tight deadlines. We are going to begin using inDesign to publish a more extensive multipage newsletter, and I wanted to build a better knowledge foundation of this tool, rather than just diving in. The course was comprehensive and I feel that I'll be able to make a better product after taking the course.

    Excellent course! I actually took notes on it in InDesign itself. That was a great way to follow along and practice each step that she was teaching AND now I have a thorough set of notes (complete with shapes, images, arrows, gradients, grids, and instructions) to refer back to.

  • David B. Aug 25, 2019

    An excellent course - per for getting started!!

  • Katherine V. Jun 13, 2019

    on creating the polygon, the only thing that happens when I try to create the star as she instructs by moving arrows up and down, the only thing that happens is the shape just moves up and down. not sure what I'm missing.

    Have loved Erica since I was a baby designer. She is a great educator, and even though I have been using ID for about 8 years, I just changed from CS6 to CC. This was a great refresher as well as a mental upgrade to new options and effects.

  • Emily B. Jan 25, 2019

    I have taught myself InDesign over the last couple years, but this course was a nice refresher on some things I already figured out and gave me a few aha! moments on how I could do things differently. Overall, it deepened my understanding of the functionality within InDesign. Great job, Erica!

  • Karen T. Jan 1, 2019

    Very clear instructions and a great course for beginners as well as those with some InDesign experience.

  • Gilbert B. Dec 15, 2018

    I enjoyed these classes. Learned the Indesign toolbox and picked up a few smart tricks. Erica is great at keeping up the pace and being very clear and easy to follow.

  • Sarah T. Aug 22, 2018

    Wonderful course! Very informative and packed with hands-on examples.

  • Mak A. Jun 18, 2018
