On Monday I attended my first workshop offered through the STAR lab located in the Johnson Center. After looking through the list of different workshops that were offered, I decided that InDesign would be the most relevant to my concentration in PR.
The class size was very small and it was easy to ask questions and get personalized help from the instructor. I was also pleased with the level of expertise that the instructor had using the program. She knew where all of the tools were located and was able to finish the lesson in the allotted time.
The lesson was very basic, learning what tools we would use, how to set up our master pages with grids, columns, and text boxes.
The tools in the program are very easy to find and use. They are labeled so that you know exactly what they are used for just by looking at their name. There is very little ambiguity.
I enjoyed learning the basics of the class and signed up for the second level workshop for this coming Monday, Feb. 20. Hopefully, after taking these two classes, I will have a better understanding of the program and will be able to utilize the skills in a potential job.
