Basic indesign helps me help designers

Written By Chelsea Frimpong

This week’s questions -

1. I'm thinking it's advantageous for me to have some understanding of indesign as a producer. It'll help me have some wherewithal as I collaborate with designers on pitch decks. Can I build a presentation in indesign with no design experience?

2. What are things I should consider as I look into fabrication vendors to build a stage for a panel discussion?

This week’s answers. I only got around answer question #1 -

I can build a presentation in indesign with no design experience! It's still in approval with the client so can't show it here. A few skills I now have -
BUT YouTube university is so clutch! 😅

  • You can duplicate spreads once you have the page design.

  • Using the erase and brush tool

  • Adding the brand colors to swatches

  • Importing the brand fonts and being mindful which ones are for headers, body, caption text

  • It's important to package it up so all the images, links, make its way to whoever you are sending it to.
