I don't know if you have gotten other requests for this but please do more InDesign videos! I enjoy the learning experience from your videos when it comes to Adobe stuff

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Thanks for the suggestion! I used to use InDesign a ton for designing photo albums and books, but use it less and less now and feeling rusty! Will try to create more tutorials as it really is a powerful and awesome app (also confusing and overwhelming at times. 😂)

[@edwinalvarado5]

I love your work Mike!

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Appreciate that…thanks! 👍
