I'd like to start setting up some little pamphlets or booklets to be printed, and I'm told Adobe InDesign is the best tool for that. Where can I find the best online tutorials? Or is there other training I should seek out?

How do I learn InDesign?
- Thread starter Soliloquy
- Start date
Whenever I need to learn a new software, I just go to Youtube and pick a video that appeals to me most, or seems easy enough for me to start with. I think watching videos are the best way to learn Usually, those would suffice, especially if the software I'm trying to learn is related to one that I'm already familiar with, e.g. - in this case, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. In my opinion, the best way to go about it is to learn some basic functions and buttons first, but just enough not to get too overwhelmed immediately. After that, then just find a nice existing design and just try to duplicate it as an exercise, and once you get used to it you'll be well on your way to making your own designs. 
Cheers and good luck!

Your decision to learn graphics is step in a most right direction. The biggest mistake is jumping into Photoshop too fast. Learning Photoshop does not make you a designer, just like buying paintbrushes does not make you an artist. Start with the foundation.
First, learn how to draw.You don’t have to sit in a room with a bunch of other artists trying to draw a naked woman.
You don’t even have to get that good at drawing. Just learn some basics so you can be comfortable sketching with a pen.

I believe by now, you should have graduated to pre-veteran level. By now, you would have mastered the rudiments and basics of graphics. I would like to give a piece of advice here: always go back to the first principles to check the conformity of your work to standard.
I would start with YouTube tutorials and move onto text ones. Why not buy a book? They are great references for learning anything. Good luck in your journey.
Also, just having a bash yourself, with no tutelage can be useful, and fun.

As with any new skill, Google and YouTube are your friends as you can search exactly what you need and get quick answers.
He can get so many of such tutorials on YouTube. This was how I learnt so much from the platform about graphics design!

Learning InDesign might seem overwhelming at first, but once you uncover the secrets behind its tools and shortcuts, it becomes a powerful creative ally. Start with Adobe’s official tutorials, then explore YouTube channels and design blogs for hidden tips. Practice by working on small projects like flyers or brochures. The real secrets to mastering InDesign lie in consistent practice and exploring lesser-known features like paragraph styles and master pages. Stick with it—once you unlock these secrets, your design game will level up fast.
