Conquer Adobe InDesign with designer and educator Khara Plicanic! If you’ve ever thought InDesign looked intimidating, overly technical, or just plain boring, this course is here to change your mind. Through practical projects, approachable instruction, and plenty of creative exploration, Khara shows you that InDesign can actually be fun, intuitive, and incredibly powerful.

In this beginner-friendly course, you’ll learn how to use InDesign as a professional layout tool for real-world design work, from flyers and brochures to forms, magazines, and social media templates. Along the way, you’ll develop the systems, habits, and workflows that make InDesign such an essential tool for modern designers.

Together with Khara, you’ll tackle:
Navigating InDesign’s interface, panels, tools, and workspace with confidence
Setting up documents for print, digital, and social media projects
Placing, scaling, linking, and managing images, graphics, and logos
Using paragraph, character, and object styles to build consistent, editable designs
Creating flyers, tri-fold brochures, fillable PDF forms, magazine-style layouts, and social templates
Preparing files for professional output with bleeds, preflight, packaging, and export settings
Building reusable systems with parent pages, text variables, templates, and linked assets

This course is perfect for designers who want to stop fighting with layout tools and start building clean, flexible, professional layouts and workflows. By the end of the course, you’ll understand how to create polished documents from scratch, troubleshoot common issues, package files properly, and export with confidence. More importantly, you’ll discover that InDesign doesn’t have to feel rigid or overwhelming. With the right workflow and mindset, it can actually become one of the most creative and satisfying tools in your design toolkit.

So open up InDesign, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get started!
