- [Nigel] Hi, I'm Nigel French, welcome to Designing a Newsletter. In this course we'll look at all the necessary steps to creating a professional-looking newsletter using Adobe InDesign, with some supporting help from Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. We'll build the newsletter step by step, from setting up the document, to flowing and styling the text, to placing and working with images. Once the newsletter is complete, we'll look at how to prepare a print-ready PDF and how to make and distribute screen-ready versions.
Let's get started.
