InDesign is a powerful application, but are you one of the people that only uses 10% of it's features?

If the answer is "YES" then you're not alone. In fact you're in the majority and we are on a mission to change that, by helping people develop those more advanced InDesign skills that improve performance and enhance productivity.

InDesign has grown to become the most widely used desktop publishing tool on the market today, yet it is horrifically underused. It's like watching a Ferrari doing 5 miles an hour on the M25, we just know it's capable of so much more and we are looking to turn you into a Formula One Star !
