I have been drafted for a day at a company to give some employee's a crash course in Indesign and Illustrator.
Has anyone done this and have some tips, advice, notes/crib sheets, lessons, etc I could have?
Thanks

Tell me about it...
I was going to look at there processes and see what the most useful stuff is to teach first... Morning is Illy with one person, afternoon Indesign with 3...

i think it is important to explain everything on the basis of one single work so the guys have a result to wich they can refer when recalling the learned. so if you want to talk about page setup, handling typo, placing objects - prepare a piece, like a flyer or a magazine page - wich you can build up step by step with them.

I think I may do that. perhaps they can build their own crib sheets???Dancer - yes! use on-topic content for the layout. so the finished thing i a self-explaining piece.invisiblechamber
