Learn the basics of Adobe Indesign in 11 minutes while being guided step by step on how to create your first pages in InDesign.
There are many more functions to InDesign than that is covered in the video but I hope that everybody is able to learn something about the program in the short span of the tutorial. We go over things like interface, export, tools, images, layers, pages/master pages, and much more!

Artist /Designer with over 21 years experience with Adobe products, learning InDesign. Your tutorials make things VERY accessible! Thanks!
Great to hear!
Ignore the haters, I think you're doing great. I've watched all your videos as an up and coming designer
Thanks for the support! Anything in particular that youd like to see in the future?
@@lyh_studio I'd love to see a video covering brochure creation/setup design. Idk how feasible that is though! thanks for the reply!
I’ve avoided this program for years. Thanks to your video I’m ready to tackle it! Thank You
same lol
I just learned about InDesign yesterday. Thank you for this super helpful tutorial. I will definitely check out your other videos!
Wow Straight to the point, Thanks Teacher!
You're a really good teacher, slightly fast, but still completely easy to follow as you enunciate well, your audio is great and you explain things step-by-step, keeping things very simple for newbies (tuts like this are rather difficult to find actually, considering there are tons of so-called "tutorials" out there, many are at hyper-speed and people skip or just don't even show the essential steps ). Thanks again, and I will look forward to checking out more of your tutorials as I am needing a refresher! Cheers, Cat-
Thank you for this! I've used InDesign in the past but I was never properly trained so every few years I have to come back and relearn things. I have a technical interview testing me on Photoshop and InDesign coming up in a few days and I really feel like this video got me up to speed! Liked, subscribed, about to binge watch the other videos you mentioned. 👍
Thank you for the kind words. glad I could help!
I hope you got the job!
Thank you so much for making these videos! I will be watching them all for sure 😊
Thank you so much for this! I was looking for a nice little refresher and this was perfect!
perfect! thank you! I'm training someone and needed a super simple video because this is her very first time using it. Some other "beginner" videos are even too advanced.
Am also 3 days old in design...Let's do it
Thank you so much for a quick and easy tutorial to get started in Indesign. Super clear and easy, answered all the questions that usually cause so much frustration when learning one of Adobe's programs and you know the answer is just staring you in the face! lol Liked, subscribed, and am heading over to your other videos now.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
Great video. Thanks for moving quickly. I just needed a little reminder because it's been a while and I could easily watch this because you just said it, showed and done.
I missed my first design class about Adobe InDesign. This was really helpful! Thank you!
Really good tutorial, thanks a lot!
Thanks, that was an awesome video tutorial and it helped me out a lot.
Thanks for this very concise tutorial!!
I thought that there had to be an easier way than the way I was taught. Images have been time consuming to get the right size and here you show me a simple and fast way to accomplish it. Also, locking the layers is going to be a game changer since what I've been asked to do is always in the same format. Now, I won't be able to accidentally move stuff around. Thank you!!!
Haha, glad I could help!
Brief and to the point. I love this style of tutorial. You have a new subscriber
thank you so much, I really appreciate your help, keep going
This is incredible. I'm just getting started on my career in Graphic Design and I've always sort of have been nervous to dabble around InDesign - this made it so much easier to understand. Keep this up!
That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback and good luck with your career :)
This was great! Thank you!
Great Video, I'm trying to rizz up my skills and as someone coming from Photoshop it's a relief to see so many similarities in InDesign. Will definitely be following for future videos and going through your current vids to continue growing. 🙌
Continue to rizz up those skills man, glad I could be a part of the journey
This is really helpful. Thank you.
super helpful! thanks.
Very fast and easy to understand! Thank you so much! Needed to create a booklet for my fashion designs but I only knew how to use photoshop and a bit of illustrator. This is great!
Glad it was helpful!
muchas gracias, muy bien explicado y sencillo de realizar
I love the way you explain step by step, and I can learn like that. I'm looking to start my 1st magazinein Feb, ty for your assistance.
That's great, hope your magazine turns out amazing! I also have some layouts on my channel if you want to check them out :)
@@lyh_studio I appreciate that, and yes I will love to check out those layouts…
This was just what I needed, thanks for being speedy!
Just pleasing m8 ,Thanks have a good day ahead
Thank you so muchhh broo. Ur the best
Thanks mate very helpful
New to InD and have been stumbling my way through. You do a GREAT JOB making things accessible and content is pertinent! Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks great tutorial .
Thank you sm lifesaver . 👏👏
My first learning video for this software. Thanks for making it. Keep making videos!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks, very helpful.
Cool Thanks!!!
Thanks a lot!
This is awesome 💯
Boom, thanks for sharing
Great intro, thanks! Will be looking for your others as I get into this, been a Photoshop user for decades and used to use BarfXPress for documents, now looking forward to a more familiar user interface with InDesign, cheers!
Yes, InDesign is great! It's super powerful yet flexible so definitely worth putting some time into it
Thank you very much for this; for your time, energy & effort. This is amazing. I am still watching.
Glad you enjoy it!
I think I will need the 2 1/2 hour class. I too have used Canva and Powerpoint and want more. I found your review 'too' brief and light. For example, I reviewed several times to see how to import both images. I could not see where your cursor went to import the photos. I kept going back to see if I could locate it, but could not. You did give me a good orientation to know what my questions are so that tomorrow when I meet with a friend who knows In Design, I will know the questions to ask. Thank you for that.
thanks man for your assistance!.
Of course, glad I could help!
MY HERROOOOOOOO Thankkk youuuu!!!
Thankyou!
nice thanks this video helped me
thank you so much
It's veary useful, thx
great tutorial thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the kinds words :)
thanks, you are doing great. My problem has solved.
Worked 120%
Great tutorial
great video to refresh my AiD skills... only thing I did not like was the pff pff sound effects at the very end at 11:04. Great stuff.
Thanks, i like your videoes
Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching!!
great video. very helpfull!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks.
Thanks
Subscribed! thank you
Very powerful program. Maybe a bit too sensitive, and intimidating to the newcomer, but it is worth it.
So worth it!
I'm so used to Photoshop hotkeys, and they don't work on InDesign like the full page CTRL + 0, lol. InDesign feels wonky to me in comparison to PS and AI, but nothing like studying and watching this video for some help to add to my belt as a future graphic designer. Thank you!
Haha, yes InDesign is definitely not as robust as PS or AI but it doesn't need to. It's a really great program for what it does!
Having watched your video, InDesign does not look so forbidding. My local library subscribes to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of programs. Definitely time to make a start on learning this software program.
It's really probably one of the easiest adobe programs so dive into it! :)
Please do continue the splendid work with the 2023 version! Leaned a few nice tricks.
Aim for a better mic and some Aqustic dampening, 10% of the gas, flying around with the mouse, a crisper looking thumbnail - and you’ll have thousands of views in no time.
Great constructive tips, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video
@@lyh_studio If you just export your final audio track to say an mp3 file and use the adobe enhance speech page online it will use AI to auto adjust your audio to sound closer to a studio booth set up. Its very impressive how well it works, whenever I have a interview I always send my talking track to go through the enhancer and save time dialing it in myself.
@@I3roseph Hey I really appreciate it man! There's also things that I do now in post production to help with audio but Ill give this a shot :)
thank you bro op
I know PowerPoint. I’ve use Canva. I need to get something serious for newsletter layout and I am considering “In Design.“ I started with a 2 1/2 hour class on it and quickly saw that I did not need that long of an introduction. I watched your video and it was exactly what I needed to help me take another step in learning. Thank you. I note that someone below suggested you speak too fast. The wonderful thing about UA-cam is that you can slow the speed down. In fact, I sped up the video to 1.75 speed. I wondered a “quick “introduction.
Thank you for the kind words and great suggestion!
Thank you for the tutorial! I think the reason why InDesign is usually the last thing for most creatives to learn is because Photoshop and Illustrator is already a pretty big hurdle (we wanted to be very adept in them first rather than the print/file formatting)
Very true! I know that Illustrator was a huge learning curve for me.
The way I think of layers on this type of program is that it's like each one is its own sheet of like plastic wrap with stuff drawn on it; you can see each layer through the clear plastic wrap, but you can only affect one at a time.
That's a perfect way of thinking about it!
Could you tell me what is the reason of bad quality of imported picture even thou the image itself is in high resolution? I can’t figure that out. Also could you suggest best size for presenting online portfolios and how to export them so they wouldn’t be too heavy. Thank you in advance and I think you’re did great job with this super easy and short tutorial
Bad quality could be because of viewing mode in Indesign to save on computer resources. If you go to the top and go view > overprint preview, does that fix it?
Best size I would say is a spread of 8.5 x 11, very versatile. But I have colleagues that would disagree with me, I think it depends by person.

Great video! What do you use to create your thumbnails? Was this video's thumbnail made in InDesign?
Yup they sure are!
Great work buddy, my suggestion; your training would be even better if you emphasise the hyghlights text!! thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Appreciate it man! Do you mind elaborating? Should I go into more detail about how text works and behaves?
I love you brother ❤
I love you too man
Thanks for sharing!! I watched a video you made where made a letter into an object by creating an outline around it. However, when I create other text beside it, it doesn't wrap around it. For example the letter V would be outlined by text but its not working in this new version on InDesign. Any suggestions?
It should work well in this version as well, double check that the letter is indeed what you have the text to be wrapping around!
Your channel is very helpful. I need to my opening page to the second page and put a new picture where the blank is . Can you help me with that?
Not quite I understand the question but if you just drag another picture into the frame it should just replace it!
What to do if you want to remove the guides for printing? should I set the paste board to preview or just go tlo layout, guides and grids and hide guides?
The guides are set so they aren't printed! Press "w" to preview what your document will look like.
Hey! Can I generate page #s, Calender dates & year dates in InDesign? I'm looking to makes a planner book that can be remade yearly w/o having to change each date.
Sure, look into inserting text variables in the parent pages
Great tutorial thanks! I'm practising with my portfolio in Indesign, but every time I open up my file I have to relink my images again and they are looking very striped? I don't move my images from any folder and my images come from a external hard drive. And I work in CPU on a Macbook Pro1. What could be the issue here please? Thank you very much!
That could just be a display error. What happens if you go to view > Overprint preview? Does the image stop being striped?
😍
omg.. I got anxiety when using InDesign for my assignment. Your video makes everything seemed to be so much easier. My question would be.. how do you add charts onto inDesign? Or table?
Look under the "insert" tab on the top!
im new in adobe desigh
I wish I found this channell earlierrr, do you havee free digital resources 😀, websites ands libraries for designingg
I have a free resume for people! But all the other layouts that I've previously made are available as an .indt on my website for a fee. www.lyhstudio.com if you want to check it out :)
Can you add time stamps? I think it's a very basic accessibility feature that any tutorial should be utilizing.
Is that World of Warcraft's auction bell I keep hearing in the background?
Hahhah no idea but could very well be!
How do we make guildes with margins?
And how to duplicate multiple pages in one command?
to make guides: layout > create guides and to duplicate pages go to the pages panel, highlight pages you want to duplicate and then right click > duplicate
You’re a good teacher, but it would be even great if you taught how to make planners
Thank you for the kinds words! What kind of planners?
@@lyh_studio like digital planners
what do i use instead of alt to duplicate if I'm on a mac book?
I believe it's cmd
I can't get the text tool to work. It keeps going to the upper left had hand corner and it's smudged even if I make the font large. What am I doing wrong? Did I download a corrupt Indesign platform?
That's interesting, I dont think I've ever run into that. Maybe try reinstalling it?
Is it possible to make a simple pdf in indesign where just instead of vertical scroll, the document does horizontal scroll, is this possible. Like for every tap on the screen it moves fwd one page by pushing in the next page from the side of the screen. Instead of the traditional vertical scrolling. So many experts on UA-cam ive asked....nobody seems to know. I want to start learning this software ONLY IF IT CAN DO THIS. Cant learn and tryout and then find out it wont do what i want.
Here's something I came across. Lmk if this works :)
community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-do-i-set-up-my-pages-to-scroll-horizontally/m-p/9256165
Can you only import images? What about videos or gifs?
Yes for both! We currently don't have a video for that but there's plenty of great resources on UA-cam for that :)
Bro how do u insert images in indesign please help
You can
1. create a rectangular frame tool (F) then drag the image into the frame.
2. just drag and drop any image in and you'll see a small thumbnail that you can click to insert.
3. go into "file" and click "insert" or "place"
i am not able to move around with the text box. can you help ? it only shows me at the top left of the page to start writing
Try clicking out of the text box, or press escape
How do i change the text direction from right to left?
If you mean text justification, then there is a bar on the top (in essential classic workspace) that allows you to use "right justify" with a similar symbol to microsoft word.
@@lyh_studio
I copied Hebrew text onto InDesign. Now it reads left to right. That's what I'm getting at. The characters remain in the correct direction but the words flipped so it reads left to right.
Is it free to download on my computer?
Not free, part of the Adobe creative clouds. If you are a student it's pretty cheap - check out the link in the bio
9:25
Umm whats the difference between this and photoshop ?
Super different - this is for laying out images that you edit in photoshop
The video is blurry, I can't read anything on it.
Do you have the resolution turned up?
Why do you talk fast and flip around so quickly. Difficult for a beginner.
bro who tf uses inches????? Great tutorial tho
the whole of america uses inches, they haven't heard of centimeters
I already hate this app. I must use it for a specific project but I hope it's the last time.
