Adobe InDesign in a Day was the perfect class to get me started on using the software for work right away! We learned how to lay out text and images and create practical and fanciful pieces, relevant to both professional and personal interests! Michele was engaging throughout the entire day and really kept the pace of the class up. I would recommend this class to anyone looking for a jump start to getting the most out of Adobe Creative Cloud!

Robyn Wolin, World Animal Protection

I really enjoyed taking the InDesign class at Noble Desktop. I took it for both professional and personal reasons, and I'm happy I'm able to add another skill set to my resume.

Kate Yung, Chloe & Isabel

I can't believe how much I learned in three days with Michelle. I feel confident about taking InDesign files and tweaking them on my own, without having to go back and forth with someone in the art department. Invaluable!

Ann Treistman, Norton

If you want to walk away knowing InDesign, this is THE class to take! The entire 3-day course was captivating.....and the exercises were both very practical AND humorous, which kept things lively. No fear of losing interest or falling asleep during class! Kudos to Noble! I would take any class with you guys.

Susie W., The Medical Letter

I can’t overestimate the value of this course. With the personalized, hands-on training and step-by-step guide, I gained a much-needed proficiency with InDesign’s core features. From creating brochures to books, these “real world” projects gave me the tools to advance my professional career. Very comprehensive and expertly delivered by the instructor!

Jennifer Edwards, Cammack LaRhette Consulting

This is my second time attending Noble Desktop's classes and I had a lot of fun from start to finish. They really helped provide me with the foundational knowledge needed to get started with my creative interests!

Austin Easterling, Moody's Analytics

InDesign in a Day gave me everything I needed and wanted to learn for my job (and more!). The syllabus develops from topic to topic to give you a full understanding of the application.

Tiffany, Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC

Adobe InDesign in a Day was a terrific crash course. A plethora of material was covered in a very short period of time, the instructors are articulate yet fun which makes the class fly by!

Jackie Olson

Great class to get you up and running with the basics of InDesign and the different features that it offers. 5/5

Josie Washburn

Sneha was a fantastic, patient instructor who made things really easy to understand. I haven't used InDesign in over 10 years and it was a really easy guide to jump right back in. I would definitely recommend taking a class with her - she knows what she's doing and helps you along the way!

Molly Mengual, The Estee Lauder Companies

A great class if you're starting from scratch or need to brush up on beginner skills. The workbook provided with the class is also an excellent step-by-step reference that could easily be used as a guide to help with independent projects.

Rachel, The Real Deal

This class provided me with a lot of applicable knowledge. I am a graphic designer whose weakest program was InDesign. I was able to brush up on the basics while also learning a fair amount of more advanced techniques. I would love to take a Noble Desktop class in every category now!

Ari, Vanguard

The Adobe InDesign Bootcamp is a great way to pick up new skills in short time. If you're interested in learning Adobe and graphic design skills without the rigors of academic classics at a university or college, this is a great place to come.

Nicole Siciliano

The InDesign class at Noble Desktop is really worthwhile. It gives you hands-on projects which you can continue to work on after the class, using the basic skills you've learned. It gears you up for a lifelong of learning with InDesign by teaching you the fundamentals of the software.

Sneha Shah, n/a

I had Eugenio for Photoshop and InDesign, he is very patient and knowledgeable. I had a lot of tools to take back to work.

Traci-lea Dixon, GFI Realty

Dan did an incredible job covering the basics! I left the class feeling so much more comfortable about using inDesign in the future. Can't wait to put my new skills to use.

Kayla Young, amfAR

Fabulous intensive technical class showing the ins and outs of InDesign. The instructor was super informative, was great at keeping everyone involved and interested and most importantly had a lot of patience. The workbook that we got to take home at the end was very helpful.

Sari Mizrahi, Sari Mizrahi Designs

Even if you don't know anything about InDesign upfront, this bootcamp will really upscale your level of working with InDesign, by providing a balanced course consisting of detailed instruction and in-class assignments.

Anthea van der Velden

This class was amazing! I would absolutely recommend it to a beginner in InDesign, I can't wait to use the techniques I learned in real life!

Taylor Cobb, Lee & Associates NYC

I've taken many courses at this school (NYIM/Noble Desktop) and am signed up for more. The instructors expertly and patiently completely convey very comprehensive material on each subject. I would not go anywhere else to learn these programs and have recommended the school to many friends and associates.

Stacey Brody

Was definitely worried about learning InDesign in one day as I wasn't sure how much I could truly learn but this class was amazing. Taught me a bunch of skills that I can take back to my team and begin executing against.

Tori Bremer

This class was exactly what I was hoping for. It was the perfect length of time to learn the basics and more. The instructor was great and very helpful. The pace was just right, and I'm walking away happy with my new skills.

Emma Pinkus

"Can't wait to take another class!"

Sydney Schmidt, American Management Association

Noble's Adobe Bootcamps find a way to cram a lot of information into a few days, where you walk away feeling empowered with enough knowledge to move you forward. Their instructors are thorough, patient, and very knowledgeable.

Kimtoya Williams, Church Pension Group

Noble Desktop is incredibly well set up. It's clear the staff has spent a lot of time organizing their material, and so far the instructors have all been really good.

Anita Peltonen, self-paid, hope to get more work using these skills

Noble Desktop are pros - I attended my first class 15 years ago, and the InDesign Bootcamp I just finished is a reminder why they've thrived all these years. Keep up the great work!

Jessica T

I immensely enjoyed attending the graphic design courses by Dan Rodney, he is very skilled in this field and he has a great way of giving over the material at a nice pace and in an informative way. always answering questions and staying overtime if necessary so that we leave the class knowing all the material. I took this course over Zoom and I am very pleased with the format and overall outcome

Kaila Danzinger

Dan was a great instructor, very clear and engaging when reviewing the materials. I feel confident in with my new skills!

Beverly Franklin

In 3 days go from no InDesign experience to feeling like a pro.

Alex Pappas

This was a great class to refresh skills I haven't used in a very long time. I thought I might get a little bored but NEVER was. I can't wait to practice more.

Valerie Woodman, Symetra

If you've ever wanted to learn Adobe software, sign up now for Noble Desktop's classes; they have amazing instructors who teach you how to use these applications in fun, useful ways, and make it so friendly that you'll wonder why it took you so long to get started.

About InDesign

What can you do with InDesign?

From long documents (such as books and magazines), to short documents (such as brochures and business cards), InDesign is great at creating layouts that combine text and graphics. InDesign is ideal for creating designs that will be printed, but can also be used for digital output such as eBooks, PDF, and more.

Books, Magazines, & Long Documents

InDesign is the king of long documents. You can import content from authors (Word files, Excel documents, etc.) and then style it and lay out page. InDesign has many features to help along the way, such as paragraph styles, character styles, object styles, master pages, powerful find/change, tables, footnotes, table of contents, and much more. InDesign can even export eBooks as ePub files, which can be converted into Mobi files for the Amazon Kindle.

Brochures, Flyers, Posters, & Short Documents

InDesign can create small documents such as business cards, brochures, and more. InDesign’s amazing typography features are useful in any design that involves type, whether it's a poster or flyer. From one page to hundreds, InDesign is up to the task.

PDFs

InDesign has many features that help you create professional PDFs. You can create high-quality PDFs that will be printed, or optimize them for fast download via email or website. You can create PDF forms, or add interactive PDF features (which unfortunately do no work well on most mobile devices).

Presentations

While InDesign is not as well suited for creating presentations as PowerPoint or Keynote, it does have a presentation mode for quickly going full screen. You won't be able to animated elements or add transitions, but if a static presentation is OK, you can design something beautiful that can be printed or exported as PDF for digital distribution.

Conclusion

These are just a few of things you can do with InDesign, but we hope it’s given you a better idea of InDesign's capabilities. InDesign is important app for designers who work in print or digital publishing.
