“As a visual communicator, Adobe InDesign software has been my companion and an indispensable tool throughout my career. However, when I began my design education and career in my home country of Ghana, I had to learn this software through experimentation. If a resource like Adobe InDesign Masterclass by Mohammed Jogie had been available back then, it would have significantly eased my learning process.”

Felix Ofori Dartey, President of Pan Afrikan Design Institute (PADI)

“I discovered the potential of Indesign with this book. […] I like the rhythm with which the features are presented and the choice of artworks. If a book like this had existed when I started working with Indesign, my learning process would have been much easier.

I’ve always ‘got by’ with Indesign, but this masterclass made me a lot more efficient and allowed me to see all the things you can do with this software. I particularly enjoyed chapter 6, which helped me understand RGB and CMYK colors, and chapter 12, which helped me improve my speed.”

Christelle Richard, Mixed-Media Illustrator, Graphic designer, Adobe Community Expert, Maia Studio Graphique

“The book is a great practical guide to InDesign that goes beyond the basics, seamlessly integrating into a broader design workflow. One of the standout features is its inclusion of advanced InDesign tools and interactive elements, such as complex typography techniques and the ability to link external data from Microsoft Word or Excel. It’s a must-have for anyone serious about mastering InDesign.”

Dr Marcel Maré, Strategic Designer and Postgraduate Lecturer in Strategic Design, Vega School of Communication

“Adobe InDesign Masterclass is a project-based book that is great for learning the basics of InDesign and for quickly taking your skills to the next level.
