Plan, Design, & Publish Online your Portfolio with Adobe InDesign

Overview

Virtual doesn't have to be impersonal!

In this class I will teach you how to create a digital portfolio using Adobe InDesign and it's "Publish Online" tool. You will be able to design and share your portfolio by just using your —private personal link. All within Adobe InDesign. Also, you'll have access to analytics that will tell you how many times your portfolio has been seen, for how long, and on what device.

Have you ever wanted to send a creative digital portfolio via email as an attachment, and suddenly, you are prompt with a message saying that you have exuded the space limits? So then you have to change your images quality. It feels like it doesn't represent you, right? This class will teach you how to create a —humanized, digital portfolio— to which that is not going to happen. 

Who is this class for?:

This class is great for creators who are looking to engage with their dream clients. By the end of this class, you’ll be able to contact them with confidence and a clear purpose.

In this class you will learn to:

  1. Plan who your portfolio is for.
  2. Get familiar with Adobe InDesign.
  3. Prepare your text and images.
  4. Work with “Master Pages”, now called "Parent Pages".
  5. Create columns and shapes.
  6. Place images, text, and video.
  7. Create hyperlinks.
  8. Add interactivity to some elements.
  9. Publish Online your Portfolio!
  10. Learn to read analytics from Adobe about who have seen your portfolio.
  11. Solve common problems in InDesign.

The best part is that you will have access to analytics that will tell you:

  • If portfolio has been viewed.
  • How many times.
  • For how long.
  • On which device.

Is that great or what?!

For this class you will need access to the Internet and a copy of Adobe InDesign CC.
