The assignments are tailored-made to practice the tools and methods discussed, with the help and supervisor of Iliana. All days will have theoretical and practical parts. For the last two sessions, we will focus on the layout design of different files such as a figure, a poster, a cv, or a brochure. The first two sessions' focus is on a thesis book's layout and multiple-page documents. To draw detailed artwork & infographics, we advise you to follow the other course provided (Scientific Artwork - Data Visualisation and Infographics with Adobe Illustrator.) Instructional method Remember that Adobe Illustrator is used to draw detailed illustrations and vector graphics, while Adobe InDesign to layout documents, from single figures to thesis books. InDesign will become the more straightforward and prominent alternative for Adobe Illustrator, to layout scientific artwork and design simple illustrations and figures.

That course also prepares you to create your products but focuses more on elementary subjects for using InDesign and design theory. If you'd instead take things a bit slower and have the basics explained a bit further to you, consider taking the course 'Adobe InDesign' by trainer Vincent van der Vliet. The assignments will make you confident to work on your design challenges at the end. This allows the course sessions to focus in-depth on the tools, tips, and tricks to layout your long-text documents (e.g.thesis) or short-text documents (e.g., posters, cv, brochures, and figures).
