PE8_Indesign

I chose to get to know the InDesign application for this next project.  I watched the video tutorials: InDesign: Interactive Documents and Presentations from the Lynda.com website.  Since I am always looking for new and innovative ways to perform presentations in my job, I thought this would be a interesting program to use, and figured this would be a great tool to use moving forward with documents and creative designs for future presentations.

James Fritz taught the course and completed a task-by-task instruction of how to use this tool to its fullest.  As I walked through the course, I worked through the project myself so that I could get the most out of this course by actively working through the process with Fritz and could get the most out of his instruction.

 Fritz is a bit harder to watch and listen to in this video, as speaks very fact, and although he does speak clearly, it almost sounds like he is speaking in fast-forward.  This makes it a little more difficult to keep up with him when trying to work with his videos to see exactly what can be done with InDesign. 

I created a simple and easy document presentation for my first one, as I played a lot with all of the instructors clips on how to create hyperlinks, navigation systems, and dabbled in the animation function. 

I think that InDesign will be a great tool to use once I start playing around with it a bit more.  Because Fritz moved so quickly through each of the clips, I figured that I would make my first document pretty simple so that I was able to see what featured it had to move forward with.  I am in no way an expert with using InDesign, but I think I at least have a basic understanding to start from here.
