Boot Camp: Core Training

  • TypeEd 145 Valley Street Pasadena, CA, 91105 (map)

Boot Camp is a results-driven workout session that is tailored to transform the way you work with type. Every drill is designed to be supportive and challenging while exercising those core design muscles. This InDesign Boot Camp is key to speeding up computer skills and design intuition, saving time in the design process.

This workout helps build better typographic endurance. In this session, all recruits will be challenged with repetitive design drills that help designers build typography systems the right way. Our Core Training clinic is geared for teaching the basics of grid formulation and typesetting strategy in InDesign.
