Video description
This innovative product is a focused video workshop and
accompanying 48-page full-color book that will teach InDesign users
how to design documents with e-book publishing in mind, and create
and publish them in the ePub format. Viewers will learn about new
electronic publishing features in InDesign CS5.5, how to work with
text, create hyperlinks and cross-references, work with graphics,
create covers and tables of contents, and export to the ePub
format. How to fine-tune ePub code will be covered, and an appendix
will provide an introduction to the ePub format. Experienced
instructor Rufus Deuchler presents three hours of exceptional
quality video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment
quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique
interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also
bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique
Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow
the student to work alongside in InDesign. Project files used in
the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what
they've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce
freshly gained knowledge.
