Indesign: Homework 1

 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXRT3dHu6_o

The first tutorial that I came across for InDesign in Adobe was "InDesign for Beginners | FREE COURSE" by Envato Tutorials. I think this tutorial is really good because it does not only have almost 2 million views, suggesting it is quite reliable, but also the account is verified. When looking for tutorials in adobe, I find that these two factors are important, as they determine if the video is credible, and is made by someone who actually knows what they are doing. Additionally, I like this tutorial because it is very lengthy, and contains a lot of good information and skill explanations. It contains several sections (by timestamp) that include creating and using color, adding and manipulating text, image resolution, and many other helpful skills.

The second video I found about InDesign in Adobe was "Learn Adobe InDesign in 9 MINUTES! | Formatting, Tools, Layout, Text Etc. | 2020 Beginner Basic". I like this tutorial because it is only 9 minutes, and gives an overview of the basic skills that you should be familiar with. Additionally, I would recommend watching this video as a precursor to other ones. Although it provides cool skills for beginners, it clearly doesn't cover all the tools the program offers.

Unlike the other two tutorials, this video "Adobe InDesign For Beginners - FREE Course - Tutorial Course Overview & Breakdown" by Gareth David Studio includes directions on how to create a small project using InDesign. Not only does it provide a course overview, but it also shows the steps to creating a sample project, which I find very helpful! It shows how to create flyers, brochures, pamphlets, and much more. I also like how the account is verified, suggesting it is pretty credible and will provide accurate insight on how to use the tools.
