Product Description
This thorough, self-paced guide to Adobe InDesign CS3 is ideal for beginning users who want to master the key features of this program, while readers who already have some experience with InDesign can use this book to familiarize themselves with InDesign CS3's newest features. Using step-by-step, project-based lessons, each chapter contains a project that builds upon the reader's growing knowledge of the program, while review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce the most important skills learned in each lesson. The companion CD contains all the assets readers will need to work through each project in the book. Adobe InDesign CS3, Adobe's page layout and design software, has been updated to accelerate user productivity with loads of new features: new Photoshop effects--including gradient feathering, inner shadows, and glows--that you can apply to objects on a page; finer transparency controls, which let you apply transparency settings independently to an object's fill, stroke, and content for more complex visual looks; numerous productivity enhancements; advanced find/change features; new table and cell styles; export to XHTML, and more.
Educational instructor notes—created to help teachers plan, organize, and time their lessons—are available for this book (and for other Classroom in a Book titles) at www.peachpit.com/instructorresources.

• Dumbed Down Advice 24 October, 2008
This book is good, but it's dumbed down (and drawn out) when it comes to explaining how to use InDesign CS3. It's smaller and easier for the beginner to follow than Real World InDesign CS3, but the later is a far superior book. If you can only afford 1 InDesign book, get Real World InDesign.

• Beginner Computer Class 23 September, 2008
I am a Senior at Shippensburg University, PA enrolled in a beginner computer course, Computer 1 Design. I have only ever used one other computer program walkthrough book ever in my life which was Word Perfect back in 9th grade. This book (much easier to read and more detailed) has helped me greatly so far with Adobe Indesign. I had absolutely no idea how to use the program as it was new to me. After about two weeks or so going through each of the chapters, I've become familiarized with Indesign CS3 and am able to create and do things I never thought was possible. I'm able to create documents from scratch and have them look extremely professional. If you're new to computers or want to upgrade, I highly recommend this book. However when I said I went through the book in two weeks, I was forced as a requirement for the first assignment (completing the book was assignment 1). I do recommend taking a slower pace. Perhaps a lesson or two every few days. There is about 14 in all (00-13). Included in the back of the book is a CD that you have to upload onto your computer and then save the lessons in new folder. I hope this helps, coming from someone who is new to computer programs such as this one.

• Step By Step 15 September, 2008
This book has step-by-step instructions along with pictures that show you what you should be seeing on your screen. Very helpful for someone who hasn't touched Adobe before. If you have, then some of the instructions may seem obvious, but it's very complete.

• Adobe Indesign Cs3 Classroom In A Book 19 May, 2008
This book is great. I can't see any other way to learn Indesign without it.It helps you work thorough documents using Indesign and by the end of the book you can use the program with little problem. It is like being in a classroom but the book is the instructor.
Some of the terms used in the book are not the same as in the program but it was easy to find the right terms.
