Adobe InDesign CS5 (Learn by Video) 1st Edition

Video2Brain are an excellent software training company. I have used their Learn Adobe Photoshop / Dreamweaver / Flash CS4 by Video packages, and the instructors are easy to follow, as well as entertaining. This product is no exception. If you want to get to grips with the basics and go no further, or get in-depth with the product Video2Brain's Abobe InDesign CS5: Learn by Video is an excellent choice for beginner, or mid-range knowledge user of the product. It is applicable for the corporate environment as a cheap alternative to sending employees on expensive training courses, or for the home user. My only criticism of Video2Brain is that their suite of training products doesn't include enough titles, which is a roundabout way of complimenting them. Having also purchased their Fireworks and PhP training packages for the company I work for, I highly recommend Video2Brain over other competitors such as Lynda. With self-tests at the end of practically every chapter in this package and over 18 hours of high quality video training, you can't go wrong with it!

I'm a new user of the Adobe Creative Suite. I've been searching for instructional materials for about a year now and quite frankly, the books I've found are not suited to the way I learn. Unlike most software, Adobe products are not structured systems in which the user just plugs in information in a box. Adobe offers an open, free-wheeling platform of tools to accomplish a creative task. This video is an instructional program that starts with a basic explanation of the Adobe program and then proceeds to show how to accomplish a wide range of creative tasks. Materials are assembled in logical, bite-sized segments that you can refer back to, as needed. Russell Viers is the trainer and he is the best I've come across. Ever. I offer my highest recommendations for this video course. This is an excellent means of learning to use Adobe software.

It doesn’t work I want my money back

The two guys that teach these videos are born teachers. The video format is great. Sample documents for each lesson are included and it's a good idea to play around with these after each video lesson. Clear and entertaining instruction from InDesign experts who not only know their subject, but know how to teach it.

This video is excellent. The Instructors do an excellent job in explaining InDesign in a very hands-on friendly manner. It is easy to understand and follow. And if you need more reinforcement just rewind and play it again.

I had not used Indesign before watching this video. It was very helpful. I have made and printed a book and am on my second book now. I would have been lost without this product.

The best Adobe Course. If you want to invest your money in something that teaches everything thouroughly, this is your product. From beginner to proficient.

Video is informative and nicely organized. So far my second video from Lean by Video and its great especially if you are a beginner.

Also insgesamt bin ich froh das ich dieses Buch gekauft habe. Es war absolut kein verschenktes Geld. Die DVD ist gut und verstädnlich wie fast alle Produkte von Video2Brain.Allerdings haben sich in der Printbeilage einige Fehler eingeschlichen die man bei der nächsten Auflage noch mal korrigieren müsste.Am Ende sind Bilder wiederholt eingesetzt die was anderes darstellen als im Text zu sehen. Aber ist zum Glück nur ein Einzelfall.Ich gebe nur 3 Sterne weil ich denke dass die Printbeilage etwas umfangreicher sein könnte, allerdings gibt es dafür sehr gute andere Bücher (Classroom in a book) die diese Lücke mehr als gut füllen.Video2Brain ist für mich eine perfekte Ergänzung und Erweiterung zu anderen Büchern die man sich besorgt. Als Alleinwerk würde ich es nicht nutzen.Wer sich also gut informieren und Schulen will dem empfehle ich dieses Produkt in Verbindung mit einem anderen Produkt zu kaufen.
