I like that it is very specified. Every tool is made to maximize your ability to lay out things and focus on composition.
There is not very much I dislike about indesign. If I HAD to pick something it would be a slight difficulty in changing some settings.
We use indesign to layout all of our print materials.
I am able to design professional-grade projects that contain text. I like using it for booklets, brochures, and signs.
The only thing I don't like about InDesign is that it is sort of difficult to edit pictures with. I usually have to edit the pictures in Illustrator or Photoshop and then go back to InDesign.
I am using InDesign for branding and marketing. It is very useful for pieces of work that contain graphics and text information.
I like that there's so much you can do within this program that you wouldn't think! I actually also love the way InDesign links photos and removes the background from images. Learning shortcuts has also been really beneficial to using this program.
It can get annoying when you have to resize the image twice- once for the bounding box and once for the actual image. There can definitely be a lot to learn in this program, I feel like it's not as easy as Illustrator.
A lot of our vendors actually require flyers, catalog pages, and advertisements to be submitted in InDesign. Out of the other designers in-house, I am most familiar with this program and have used it the most. InDesign has the best/most precise options for bleed marks and page specifications.
I love the versatility of InDesign. You can create booklets, posters, books, for printing, for mobile devices- you name it!
One of the downsides for a new user would be the learning curve. Honestly i struggled with it at first, but there are so many tutorials online- and once you get the hang of it there is so much you can do!
One of the problems with using Publisher was that our printing partners were starting to ask for InDesign files instead- and we began seeing higher quality printing because of it.
InDesign has been easy to learn both via self-teaching and with the utilization of classes, videos, etc. There is always something new to learn with InDesign and ways you can incorporate creative layouts into all types of proposals, marketing material, etc.
Because I use InDesign through creative cloud, it can be aggravating with fonts need to be resynced or get lost when opening on a different/new computer. Cloud based systems should be easier synced.
How to create completely customized marketing collateral. Whether it be proposals, brochures, pamphlets, trade show banners, I can do it all in one place: InDesign.
I have a lot of experience using this program to create booklets and marketing resources. I have loved that I can make everything as customized to my brand as possible. The user is completely in control .
It’s frustrating that this is a subscription which ends up being way more expensive than just purchasing the product. I’m not a fan of the monthly auto withdrawals.
This gives me total control of the final product of our marketing designs!
There is no better software for putting together long documents, brochures, or hand-outs. And the range of uses is incredible. We use the program primarily for print or pdf viewing but it has the capability to do some pretty cool interactive publishing as well. This program allows you to do more with fonts and formatting than any of it's competitors.
As with all Adobe programs, being able to use the program and being able to use the program effectively are two different things. Not really a dislike, but you have to be Adobe savvy to use.
We run pretty much everything marketing through this program.
I like the amount of templates and features available. I used this to create a yearbook and I didn't feel like any features were missing.
I wish there was an indesign plug in for illustrator or a web app - some option for easier personal use. I don't like having to download another adobe product on my personal computer.
Creating an entire book layout is the most crucial part of creating a yearbook - and indesign really got the job done.
Easy to use tools. Love the use of templates and masterpages.
Sometimes the program crashes on me which is frustrating.
Definitely a time saver. Templates, character and paragraph styles, and the library save me.
Incredibly helpful in organizing pages and layouts.
Fairly difficult to learn without help/googling.
We use InDesign to help us layout graphic design presentations and to organize layouts.
Adobe InDesign allows me to combine awesome graphics with graphically attractive text to create captivating images surrounded by text that urges the reader to read.
There isn't anything I dislike about InDesign. I've been using it since 2005.
InDesign cuts design time in half and has lowered design costs overall.
Ease of use, Cross-platform files, panels, typography, simple drawing tasks, being able to put small graphics into the text box of your content, allowing it to flow and be near text you need it to be and looking like it might be a font instead of a graphic. Indesign's ability to do almost everything well but kick ass publishing output for print, e-readers or online content is outstanding. Being able to preset everything is a really nice touch throughout Adobe products but with many documents being a grind to get through, it really shines here. Having a visual meter when producing output, like for creating pdf's letting you know things are still progressing. If you've worked in an ad agency, this is your number one production workhorse, capable of creating many different iterations of the same content for different executions.
Like most complex programs there can be a lag when starting up and font loading, depending upon how you activate your fonts can be tricky. Oh and watch out for on the fly font substitutions by the program if you switch form Windows to Mac with the same file. But hey, at least you can do that sort of cross-platform work, yes?
large publications, multiple language publications, one-sheets, ads and the like - actually for ad work across multiple sized iterations and languages, it's amazing.
I love the power of Indesign to be able to create something simple, like a slide, and something complex, like a 100-page booklet.
Sometimes it can be a bit over complicated. I wish there were tutorials within each tool.
Indesign is critical for creating visually stunning designs for large amounts of information that we feel is important to have in people's hands, both physically and digitally.
Incredible for typographic detailing and page design. Using paragraph- and character styles in particular makes design easier and more efficient. A great level of detail can be achieved and maintained. My work would not be possible without using Adobe InDesign.
Currently using an older version of the software (CS4), which isn't as great. useful functions have been added to the software in newer versions that I miss when using CS4.
It makes page design efficient and accurate, and easy to streamline bigger productions like magazines or books.
The amount of control over typography! I use it for building up text heavy documents like newsletters or books, presentations, etc. Once you’ve gotten the hang of the program, it’s fast and easy to create new layouts.
It has a bit of a steep learning curve and not a super intuitive way of teaching the user what to do. As with other Adobe products, I do find it to be a bit expensive and dislike their current subscription model.
I was using InDesign to create product flyers on a weekly basis, as well as newspaper layouts. I also choose to use InDesign for resumes and other documents, and it’s my preferred software. Combined with the other Adobe programs, InDesign is able to help me accomplish whatever I need.
All the adobe software works together so smooth because of its integration.
There is a bit of time and effort you'll need to put into learning the workflow since its not as plug and play as other web based beginner programs are.
Indesign is responsible for all my organizations digital and print advertising needs including web graphics, social media, billboard designs for large LEDs, and most importantly our current project, our event program designs.
Indesign makes it very easy by automatically including your live area guides for ideal margins. I can tell immediately when someone uses another program that does not assist with margin suggestions.
If I had to identify sometime I disliked about Indesign, it would have to be the fact that is does not have robust graphics tools. However, it is designed that way on purpose! Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop fulfill those needs. Once the graphic/image is finalized in one of those programs, I simply drop it into Indesign.
We use Indesign for a multitude of things. It is our first choice for print and digital publishing. This includes case studies, one pagers, product info sheets, press releases, internal company documents, e-books, printed books/ product guides... etc. The list goes on. Beautiful program.
I absolutely love the new additions to this product. Being able to create templates makes my life much easier.
Not being able to have different sizes in the same document like illustrator.
Print media/web media.
InDesign makes it easy to align text based pieces to ensure that pieces are symmetrical and laid out optimally. Obviously, being an Adobe product, its user layout makes sense and the compatibility with the rest of its Suite is unparalleled, and you have quick access to any fonts you've downloaded with Typekit.
I find myself jumping between InDesign and Illustrator and sometimes even Photoshop often. It makes sense that Photshop is a standalone program, but InDesign and Illustrator would make more sense as one program. Even if it costed more, it would be worth it and make more sense. Most graphic designers would share this sentiment in my opinion. Workflow would be made much faster if all features of InDesign and Illustrator were under one roof so to speak.
Creating any kind of text or print designated design pieces is a snap. Flyers, posters, etc. are all easy to create using InDesign.
InDesign is a very user friendly and streamlined program that's powerful enough to handle anything creative I can come up with.
If there's anything I encounter that I dislike about the program, there's a workaround or a solution for it.
Graphic design/marketing. Without InDesign I wouldn't be as efficient in creating the material my company needs.
