In Fordham near Cambridge lies a company. The company does research into Cholera and other bacterial infections. What's more it creates drugs and treatments to combat the spread of this and many more horrible diseases. Today to help with their social media I conducted an Adobe Photoshop course. It turned out that InDesign was a real asset to them as well so we finished of the day with a bit of InDesign and showed how you can use that to create BMP images.

Off to sunny Birmingham today. Conducting an Adobe InDesign Course for two ladies at Oxygen Finance. Now the story is as usual which is that they currently have a marketing agency that currently does a lot of their work for them, but now they want to bring a lot of the design work in house. The 2 girls will form part of the new Design Team using the Adobe Create Suite. One of the items that most impressed them today was the master pages feature in InDesign. Loved doing InDesign training in Birmingham. Today it was a Microsoft Publisher training course. You know I thought that Microsoft was going to drop it's Publisher Package and it wouldn't be soon enough. It's slow, clunky and uses features that would be more suitable to designing a children's party flyer that creating any professional printed material. Even for online work it's terrible. With features that haven't been updated in years, well perhaps I've gone on a little too much. Had a great training day training Visio 2010. Now this software is primarily used for flowcharts and organisation charts, however it can also be so versatile as to be used for floor plans or electrical drawings. It was only a couple of people however they thoroughly enjoyed the course especially the following:
It's a name of a company and of a process that's used to spray concrete to form structures such as swimming pools or perform concrete repair. Gunite the company is based in St Ives Cambridgeshire and mainly does a lot of concrete repair work as well as balconies. The two ladies I trained today wanted to bring the company brochure design work in house. Hence the InDesign training. A great day on InDesign CC along with 3 months support they got a sweet deal |
The art of trainingI've seen many things the good the bad and the darn right ugly. Not that perfection in training is anything I've achieved but sometimes a bit of empathy and common sense can make the person you're training feel at ease and aid training. Archives
