Video training provider InfiniteSkills Inc. has announced its new Adobe InDesign CS6 Tutorial Video course targeted toward beginners, which includes 119 lessons on professional layout techniques for print production and Web formats.

Adobe InDesign CS6 Tutorial Video – Training Course on DVD

The 13.5-hour training video course covers the fundamentals of professional layout and new features unique to InDesign CS6. Using centralized hands-on examples such as annual reports, newsletters and multi-chapter books, this InDesign training series demonstrates publishing techniques and workflows in real time, with narrated tips and assistance from author Jeff Witchel.

Jeff Witchel is an Adobe Certified Instructor and Certified Expert for InDesign with over 19 years of experience in computer-based layout and graphic design. After more than a decade as a creative professional in advertising and publishing, he has become a leading independent educator in layout and design. Witchel has led personal training seminars for leading ad firms, and has authored articles, books and tutorials on Adobe InDesign and Illustrator.

The InfiniteSkills Adobe InDesign CS6 Tutorial Video Course begins with an introduction to the program’s updated graphical user interface, with tips on learning and customizing the program’s primary tools based on frequency of use. From here, the training moves into the basics of layout, focusing on proper measurement and developing pages based on preconfigured and custom designs.

The next sections of the course focus on the ability of InDesign to format and structure text, from the fundamentals of placing text blocks on a page to creating paragraph styles that can standardize the appearance of specific lines and sections throughout longer documents and books.

After going over tips for layout on long documents, the InDesign CS6 tutorials explore the use of graphics and color, with lessons on transparency and special effects. Finally, the InDesign training course offers tips on printing, including preflight profiles for professional publishing as well as useful guidelines for creating booklets from desktop printers.

“Jeff’s years of experience in layout have shaped this course into more than just a walkthrough of InDesign’s features and tools,” said Chris Johns, content coordinator for InfiniteSkills. “Viewers will also gain a perspective in designing documents that people will naturally respond to, and follow from beginning to end.”

To demonstrate the program’s newer interactive capabilities, the last two chapters of the InDesign CS6 training highlight the program’s multimedia and eBook publishing tools. Topics include adding hyperlinks and buttons, and preparing documents for full compatibility with the EPUB2 and EPUB3 formats.

The full InfiniteSkills Adobe InDesign CS6 Tutorial Video course retails for $ 99.95. The complete training package includes accessible work files, and both the downloadable and DVD-ROM editions of the training can be viewed on Mac and Windows computers. Purchase options are available worldwide, with free shipping throughout the United States and Canada.

Montenegros First Golf Course at Lutica Bay to be Designed by Legendary Golfer and Renowned Golf Course Architect Gary Player


Tivat, Montenegro (PRWEB) July 10, 2012

Lutica Development AD, a joint venture between Swiss-based Orascom Development Holding and the government of Montenegro, announced today that Gary Player, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and the most prolific globetrotting golfer in the history of the sport, has been selected to design Lutica Bay Golf Course in Tivat, Montenegro. Minister for Sustainable Development and Tourism Predrag Sekuli, Mayor of Tivat Miodrag Kankara, Managing Director of Lutica Development Samuel Meyer and President of Gary Player Design Scott Ferrell addressed media representatives attending a press conference.

I am delighted to be working in Montenegro and with such an esteemed company as Orascom, said Gary Player. The site there is absolutely stunning, surrounded by water and mountain views. I look forward to establishing a championship layout, with a keen eye toward environmental sensitivity, for all to enjoy.

Over three decades, Gary Player Design has been a global leader in golf course design, marketing and real estate planning services. Through the years, Gary Player and Gary Player Design have executed a portfolio of over 300 projects in 35 countries on five continents. In creating unique and breathtaking golf courses the company and its founder have a full respect for the environment. Gary Player Design takes great care with regard to moving a minimal amount of earth, protecting wildlife and existing ecosystems, remediating and/or adding indigenous plant material and adhering to established local environmental guidelines.

The opening of the practice facility, which features a driving range, putting green and restaurant, is another added value to the development and an opportunity for everyone to experience the lifestyle in this burgeoning resort town. The driving range and restaurant will operate everyday from 09:00 AM to sunset and an experienced golf professional will be available all season for golfers interested in improving their game. Private lessons are 20 for 30 minutes or 30 for 50 minutes.

Since this is the first golf course in Montenegro, it is especially important to expose the sport to the local youth through lessons and friendly competitions, says Managing Director of Lutica Development Samuel Meyer. We would very much like to see the future generations of Montenegrins actively engaged in golf and maybe even get some serious contenders within the international golf community from this region.

Furthermore, the Government of Montenegro, Municipality of Tivat and Lustica Development AD are about to agree on an Effective Date for their Lease and Development Agreement for July 2012, signalling a very significant milestone for the project as the developers are bound to deliver their minimum build and investment obligations within four years.

We are delighted with the preliminary acceptance of our products and have signed reservations and sales contracts, said Meyer. Also, we have built a model apartment and viewing platforms for our customers on the future locations of the marina, main road, and golf hotel. We are in constant communication with our customer base to perfect the product, unit designs and overall architecture.

Lutica Bays master plan is currently being developed into building permits and being implemented by only the most qualified teams. Lustica Development AD is also working on all the marketing material and negotiating with several internationally known hotel operators.

With a top-notch championship golf course, world-class marinas, five-star hotels, gourmet dining, exceptional nightlife and entertainment, Lutica Bay will have everything seasoned travelers have come to expect from Europes finest resort towns.

(PRWEB) July 27, 2012

Narrated by Professor Rafael Hernandez, the 7.75-hour tutorial video course can be ordered on a Mac and Windows-compatible DVD-ROM or downloaded from the InfiniteSkills website. The package includes 96 training videos that cover a wide range of topics and features accessible project files that enable viewers to follow along.

Learning Corona SDK Tutorial – Training Video Course

The Corona SDK training starts with the installation and setup of the Corona development environment and walks viewers through the creation of their first project. The training then moves through the structure of the Lua scripting language and goes through each major stage of app creation, with hands-on examples at every point.

Used by more than 100,000 mobile developers, Corono SDK has become a leading solution for producing apps and eBooks for mobile digital devices. Graphic design and advertising agencies have used the platform to leverage existing content into mobile formats and extend branding opportunities for clients around the world.

“With this series of Corona tutorials, we want anyone to be able to compete in the mobile marketplace,” said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. “Our goal is to offer comprehensive creative training at an affordable price so that no one is limited by budget alone.”

After introducing the basic concepts of the Lua scripting language, the Corona SDK training shows how to add images, shapes and text and then gradually introduces levels of interactivity. The Corona tutorials cover animation, object physics and multimedia support such as the ability to play native video and use the device’s built-in camera and location tools.

Next, the course shows how to properly capture and act upon user input such as text fields and forms, and how to use extensible interface widgets to build more intuitive user interfaces in a minimal amount of time. The final chapters of the Corona SDK tutorial cover data management such as the ability to write to backend databases, how to use Network APIs and how to debug and then build fully functioning apps.

“While many app development tutorials out there ignore creativity, it’s right at the center of the Corona course,” said Chris Johns, content coordinator for InfiniteSkills. “Rafael is able to cover all of the necessary technology while helping viewers actively bring their own vision to life.”

As a professor of music and director of the multimedia graduate program at CSU East Bay, Rafael Hernandez has developed educational resources, games and interactive mobile apps using Corona SDK and other tools. In addition to the Complete Corona SDK Training Video course for InfiniteSkills, his tutorials have been featured on the official Corona Labs website and throughout the mobile development community.

The full Corona SDK Tutorial Video Course can be ordered for $ 99.95 USD from the InfiniteSkills website on DVD-ROM or as a direct download. Shipping and ordering options are available for customers worldwide.
