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.

The 18.5 hours of 3DS Max training is available to purchase on DVD-ROM or as a direct download from the InfiniteSkills website for $ 99.95 USD.

The 3DS Max 2013 Training Video course was developed by Steve Nelle, who has worked as a 3D animator for the last 17 years and authored numerous 3DS Max training guides. He has spent years as an instructor in college classrooms, helping students learn how to use industry-leading 3D software to meet commercial standards for television, the web and video game design.

“Steve is an educator through and through,” said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. “He knows the common trouble areas for beginners, and he knows how to really show off the program’s best assets and make the challenge of learning fun.”

After covering the program’s user interface and basic file management, the 3DS Max 2013 offers a practical introduction to object modeling, showing how to move, clone and scale and how to add 3D primitives and 2D shapes to quickly put down the bare framework of a design. The training then shows how to perform extrusions, lofts and deformations to refine the designs further.

From here, the training moves into environment design, showing how to construct a room using previously demonstrated techniques, before adding complexity through sub object selection and modification. The 3DS Max tutorials cover the program’s most important modifiers users need to know, such as freeform deformation, hair and fur, flex and geometry effects.

The last chapters of the course are devoted to animation, rendering and cinematics. Viewers learn how to work with materials and UV mapping, 3DS Max lighting, cameras and keyframe animation. The Max tutorials then explore Active Shade, Mental Ray and iRay rendering, with additional lessons on special effects using particle systems to create wind, gravity and steam.

The 3DS Max 2013 tutorials use hands-on projects to highlight the program’s functionality and workflow potential at each stage. In addition to smaller single-function examples, the course integrates a comprehensive central project of an animated bowling alley scene, built step by step and covering everything from the creation of individual bowling pins to the rolling animation of knocking them down.

The complete 3DS Max 2013 Training Video series can now be ordered from the InfiniteSkills website. The DVD-ROM and downloadable editions retail for $ 99.95 USD with purchasing options available worldwide.
