Frequently asked questions

We've answered some common questions below but we're always here to help!

You can add fonts to InDesign by downloading the fonts you would like to use and adding them to a folder on your computer. From there, open the fonts panel in InDesign and click the menu icon. Select “add fonts” and select the font files you would like to use in InDesign.

InDesign and Illustrator are both part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud and are designed to be used together. Illustrator is used to create vector images such as logos, graphs, and icons, and to customize typography. InDesign is used to create print and digital publications such as books, magazines, brochures, and business cards. Designers can use Illustrator to create assets for a project and then lay out those graphics with text using InDesign.

InDesign is used heavily by folks working in publishing and graphic design. People who often use InDesign include graphic designers, marketing professionals, social media coordinators, design editors, copywriters, and technical illustrators.

All memberships unlock unlimited access to 30+ beginner and advanced courses. Study at your own pace and take as many courses as you like! You’ll also have access to personalised support, student community and regular design challenges.

We have some free lessons in each course for you to watch and get a feel for the course content and teaching style! Just look out for the ‘FREE’ label next to the lesson titles in the contents list for each course.

Our courses are only available by becoming a member and aren’t available individually.

We recommend taking the Essentials courses before moving onto Advanced (E.g. taking Illustrator Essentials before taking Illustrator Advanced) especially if you’re new to the app or software. If you’re self taught or have used the software for a long time we still recommend watching the Essentials course as many of our students are surprised at how many new things they learn here!
