Welcome
- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Nigel French. Welcome. Typography is the foundation of all good graphic design, and yet many designers overlook the fundamentals of type. And many InDesign users, even experienced users, are unaware of the full potential of InDesign's extensive type tools. In this course we'll be looking in detail at how to get the best out of InDesign's typographic options. It's a balance of principles, many of which predate InDesign, and specifics, how to put these principles into practice using InDesign. In this first part, I'll be looking at microtypography, addressing the features that come under the umbrella of character formatting, crucial concepts like leading, kerning, and fussy but necessary details, like dashes and spacing characters. The course is for beginning InDesign users, as well as experienced users wanting a refresher on type. Let's get started.
