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.

Next, the Adobe Illustrator training looks at object selection, showing how to use the lasso tool, magic wand and fine selection techniques to manipulate project elements onscreen. After going over color management, strokes, gradient and paths, Anderson devotes entire chapters to working with vector shapes, using the pen tool and effectively working with type, from paragraph formatting options to converting individual letters into outlines.

The Illustrator CS6 tutorial then covers layer management, paths and opacity masks, and publishing options. With advice for users at all levels, the Illustrator CS6 training also includes a full chapter of ‘Down and Dirty Illustrator Tricks’ that goes through time-saving shortcuts and effective workarounds to achieve visual effects.

“Andy has been using Illustrator since it’s earliest versions, but because of his experience as an educator, he doesn’t forget what it’s like to be a beginner, either,” said Chris Johns, content specialist for InfiniteSkills. “This lets him show off some really fantastic functionality, while also thoroughly covering the core skills that everyone needs to know.”

The Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tutorial Video is the fourth training course the company has released for Creative Suite CS6, with more to follow for each major application. Within the Illustrator tutorial video itself, there are lessons on using the program in conjunction with other Adobe programs, such as Flash CS6.

“Based on in-house studies, we find that customers are really interested in workflows bringing together multiple applications,” said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. “These programs are released together for a reason, and we want our Adobe training to prepare users for the results-driven world of real design.”

Corona SDK Tutorial Video Course by InfiniteSkills Opens iOS and Android Development to Beginners


(PRWEB) July 27, 2012

Technology training provider InfiniteSkills Inc has released a new Corona SDK Tutorial Video Course aimed at teaching iPhone, iPad and Android device development using the popular system’s interactive software tools and simplified Lua scripting language.

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.
