Product Description

Nothing speeds up learning like personal training from a skilled tutor. With Adobe InDesign CS3 One-on-One, you get the equivalent of private lessons with author Deke McClelland, a world-renowned expert on digital graphics and design. Deke offers you DVD video with more than two hours of professional instruction and advice to accompany the book's easy-to-follow text. The book itself includes 600 full-color images, diagrams, and screenshots to illustrate every key step.
This highly popularly learning approach is quite simple: "read the book, watch the video, do the exercise". Each chapter has corresponding video lesson that demonstrates the techniques covered. The combination of text and video instruction is uniquely effective. You proceed at your own pace and work on relevant, real-world projects as you master fundamental and advanced concepts, theories, techniques, and best practices for making the most of InDesign.
This comprehensive multimedia training solution teaches you how to: - Create professional-looking documents with InDesign's powerful text and graphic tools
- Import text from a word processor, move and scale existing text frames, and check spelling
- Use the line, pen, and geometric shape tools to draw complex graphic objects
- Apply fill and stroke, specify process and spot colors, and design custom rules
- Use Adobe Bridge to organize and manage your digital assets
- Import and modify layered artwork from Photoshop and Illustrator
- Create inline graphics and anchored objects that move automatically with your text from one page to the next
- Create, edit, and link paragraph styles, complete with nested character styles
- Apply a sequence of style sheets to format an entire document in one operation
- Build object styles with embedded paragraph styles in order to format entire frames at a time
- Use master pages to automate repeating page features
- Automatically generate a table of contents
- Compose a fully interactive document -- with bookmarks, hyperlinks, buttons, sounds, and movies -- and export your creation to a PDF file that can be played on most computers
Adobe InDesign CS3 One-on-One puts you on the fast track to becoming a real InDesign expert. Once you're finished, you'll use InDesign smarter, faster, more creatively, and more efficiently than you thought possible.

Great Value for a Great Book July 19, 2008
Shannon M. F. Day (New Hampshire)
I bought this as a supplement to starting a new job where I knew I was going to be focusing on more inDesign. The book works well as a reference as well as reading through it one chapter at a time. It's a great addition to my growing library.
In depth step by step that is easy enough for a beginner. June 28, 2008

Deke is a great teacher: easy to follow, speaks clearly and isn't boring.
I don't think everything in the book is on video, but the book is also easy to follow. It too is a great teacher with lots of illustrations, tips and concise directions. Though I was a Quark user and completely new to InDesign, One on One does a great job of teaching it.

McClellan's series of Adobe books are an invaluable reference for me. His tutorials are lessons I actually use in my work. He gives practical use of the software in a way even a novice user can understand and yet the professional will turn to time and again. Actually seeing the author use the tools in a video is the perfect way to learn software. I have many adobe manuals on my shelves, THIS one sits on my desk.
Invaluable keys to any who seek a progressive lesson plan. May 8, 2008

Read the lesson then watch the video in a blend of exercise book and video package in Adobe InDesign CS3 One-on-One. It's the perfect lesson approach for any learning Adobe either on their own or via on online class: Step-by-step text lessons pair with the DVD video demonstrations and projects keyed to real-world experience. With over 900 color images, diagrams, and over three hours of video instruction, these 12 self-paced tutorials will prove invaluable keys to any who seek a progressive lesson plan.
