Designed for students at a variety of skill levels, Learning Adobe InDesign CS2 teaches using real-world design examples.

 

The Learning series provides students with a total-immersion, hands-on tutorial that walks them step-by-step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke by keystroke through all the features of the software application. The well-illustrated, spiral-bound text contains easy-to-read, appealingly formatted procedural explanations and step-by-step exercises in a multi-part Lesson format.

 

  • NEW! Four-color design.
    • Shows students how their results should actually look on-screen.
  • Step-by-step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke-by-keystroke procedures.
    • Enables students to work directly from the text to the screen with confidence, as though the instructor were sitting beside them.
  • Hands-on exercises.
    • Students learn by doing, gaining practical experience not only with specific skills, but with combining skills into strategies.
  • Stay-flat spiral binding.
    • Allows the manual to be used easily, right next to the keyboard.

The Exercise Format

  • Skills Covered
    • Briefly describes how students would use the features of an exercise.
  • Exercise Scenario
    • Puts the exercise into real-world context by asking students to assume the role of someone responsible for a specific task, e.g. an assistant to the organizer of a Web page design conference creating a Web page advertising the conference.
  • Terms
    • Defined at the start of each exercise, and highlighted in the text.
    • Familiarizes students with terminology they'll need to understand in working with the program, and enables them to refer back to individual terms quickly for a refresher.
  • Notes
    • Describes and outlines the computer concepts necessary to understand for each exercise.
  • Procedures
    • Provides students with hands-on mouse and keyboard procedures for each skill.
  • Application Exercise
    • Gives students step-by-step instructions for putting their skills to work.
  • On Your Own
    • Included at the end of each exercise in the Lesson. Provides a critical thinking activity for students to work through on their own—e.g., they must create a flyer or a personal Web page. Students are challenged to come up with data and then additionally challenged to use the data in a document.
    • Provides additional activities for reinforcement, practice, or skill-proficiency testing.
    •  
  • NEW expanded End-of-Lesson Material
    • Comprehensive Summary Exercises with some step-by-step detail.
    • Application Exercises cover all skills in the lesson, but steps aren’t as detailed.
    • Curriculum Integration Exercises integrate other subject areas (Math, English, Social Studies, and Science). Projects on authors, artists, history, politics, and more.
    • The most-challenging of the exercises, Critical Thinking, is a scenario-based project; no specific steps are given. Students are challenged to come up with their own solutions.
