Your content is truly top-notch! Any chance you could dive into more advanced topics in the future?

[@tirsogamboa]

Thank you so much! Specifically in InDesign? or Design in general? Design is a little tougher... I can see why creators don't do it often. Let me know. I'll see what I can do!

Man. I’m new to indesign. Photoshop seems like it can do everything this video shows without having to learn a new tool

[@tirsogamboa]

I would agree that Photoshop can do everything in this video specifically, but it can’t do everything else that InDesign offers, so the benefit is having all the tools in one app vs doing color in Photoshop and then typesetting in InDesign. I know it’s a huge hurdle learn InDesign, but it would open up opportunity to work on a breadth of other projects. Photoshop still has a place in the workflow, but when it comes to layout design, InDesign is the most robust to work on any project.
