So easy to use with just a little training. Most control over layouts for any software I've tried
Sometimes the updates jack up my preferences and I have to reset them.
Easy proposal layouts
I really like the possibility of creating multiple Paragraphs styles and make them interactive while creating Table of Contents. This makes the document not only easy to navigate but also it maintains the style overall. I also like the integrations with Illustrator and Photoshop.
Sometimes, the app crashes whether I have multiple files open or not. Also, the integration with Illustrator is still a work in progress, since the way InDesign handles vector graphics creation is different and limited from the way Illustrator does.
InDesign is letting my team and I create and edit multiple files that will be linked in a book. The team is in multiples time zones and also uses Mac and Windows. In this aspect, InDesign has helped the team overcome multiple edits and revisions of a same file.
The power of Adobe InDesign is really unrivaled. You can easily build out complex print projects like magazines and brochures to simple things like postcards and posters.
I do think that sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge to navigate the interface. It can take a person unfamiliar with the product a while to figure out where all the tools are located, etc.
Adobe InDesign is a Creative Director's dream, and really solves your graphic design needs. It helps me be more productive, improves the quality of my work, and professionalizes the whole process.
It is very convenion and beneficial tool for page layout design, creating books design, magazines etc. We use this tool for multiple documents design very easily. Also can do creative design with help of this tool.
new per person can face some problem to use this tool. Some time it's took more time for page layout design.
With the help of this tool we can design the layout very easily and very creative.
the flexibility and discrete compatibility with multiple outputs
Hard to understand UI at the beginning, on first approaches. Especially colouring
Reducing the dimension of files I'm working on, compared to photoshop.
Adobe InDesign allows me to create single page flyers/graphics up to multi-page layouts like magazines and annual reports. I have used it for over 15 years and always been happy with the user experience and capabilities of the program.
I generally like everything about the program, but the one thing I am sometimes frustrated with is that the commands are just slightly different in InDesign vs. other Adobe Creative Suite programs. For instance, "Save As" and "Export" behave differently in InDesign than they do in Illustrator.
InDesign allows me to easily lay out single page or multi-page publications and graphics for my organization. It lets me easily prepare files for print and export graphics for digital publication as well.
I love how it's better used for the exact print requirements
user interface looks exactly the same as illustrator and photoshop, as a designer using this I would recommend a better user interface that would align to the products it is used.
It is giving more ease at designing with regards to print ad and many more.
Ever since CC launched as a subscription service I've been with them, really happy with how the pricing now works gaining access to all of the adobe products, not just some. Adobe is the industry standard and for that reason there are other other options; however so far they're not as good.
The price can be expensive at first in comparison to something like Canva - however there is really nothing quite the same and for that reason the pricing is attainable. If anything it would be awesome if it were slightly cheaper.
High-end production of design and creative solitions for an array of tasks. Where other products simply offer templated solutions or allow it to be an open canvas without great UI - Adobe makes it really simple and easy to work out great ways to design things.
InDesign keeps things in line with the other products in the Adobe Suite. The interface is pretty familiar. As with any Adobe product there is a learning curve, but I feel InDesign is easier to pick up in that it is more focused on copy and content layout, not so much on content creation like Photoshop or Illustrator.
While I don't use InDesign as much as I used to, I never really felt there was anything missing or things I didn't like.
InDesign is best for layout, for me it is with projects like flyers/sell sheets, catalogs, and brochures. While Photoshop and Illustrator can handle these types of projects, InDesign manages them better.
InDesign is awesome for generating any sort of multi-page marketing material. We use it for compiling proposal PDFs and the endless features of formatting text, incorporating pictures, tables, graphics, and other visual elements is unparalleled. InDesign is such a powerful application and I feel like we only scratch the surface of all it's capabilities. If you are a marketer/designer, you have to utilize InDesign because it can do just about everything you need.
Sometimes InDesign can be a little limited when trying to add effects to text or pictures. It is most effective for formatting large amounts of text compared to making a small, simple graphics. Also, at times things can be pretty tricky in trying to get the program to do what you want it to do. There is a definitely a big learning curve, but once you start to understand it, it can really be powerful.
InDesign is our default program for compiling any sort of marketing material. We use it for resumes, project profiles, and proposals. Using the paragraph styles is a game changer and makes it easy to maintain consistency throughout any kind of document.
Integration among the adobe products creates an efficient workflow
very little. they continually integrate new tech in a smooth and seamless manner
work flow and innovation
InDesign is the gold standard. I've been around since the Quark days, and nothing nothing has come along that can top the power flexibility and universality.
If there is something to dislike it's the difficulty in working with files from different versions of ID. They limit you to two generations ago of software.
All of our clients use it and so it is absolutely necessary that we understand it at a fundamental level.
It works seamlessly with every other Adobe program. It is seamless to take a design from Adobe Illustrator and drag it into InDesign. The paragraph styles and character styles are fantastic.
The share-for-review feature often malfunctions. It usually doesn't load and is not reliable. If there is a review of the document, I will always export it and review it outside of the InDesign review functionality.
My documentation, with diagrams, photos, and information tables, can be highly complex. InDesign allows you to drag things around seamlessly so that you can depict the information in the exact way that you need for the audience you'll be sending the documents.
You can make anything for print/visual media and it works seamlessly with Photoshop and Illustrator. Also, it makes very nice interactive PDF document files that you can place anywhere.
There's a learning curve to using it. Once you understand it, the possibilities are endless. There are lots of tutorials that help you learn the program.
It could create an interactive activities magazine published online with hyperlinks to videos. Also, it allows for unlimited creativeness because you can create any typr of document with it.
