InDesign is a versatile desktop publishing application used by graphics, publishers, and marketing professionals to create flyers, business card, brochures, magazines, and comics to name a few types of visual communications. Projects created using InDesign can be be used in conjunction with other applications including Illustrator and Photoshop, or it can be used on its own.
InDesign provides the essential tools to design multiple page documents containing significant amounts of text and create visual layouts that combine text and images that can be used for both print and digital media. InDesign users can now create professional documents which can be published and distributed in print or online.
