Ignite Your InDesign Speed

You know the basics of InDesign. Now make them work for you. This three-hour workshop is designed for A/E/C marketers ready to move beyond the fundamentals and get more out of the software they use daily. You'll learn how to set up files that do the heavy lifting, automate layouts with primary text frames, and turn InDesign's new AI features loose on the repetitive tasks you're still doing by hand. This isn't a beginner refresher. It's a working session for A/E/C marketers who want InDesign to carry more of the load.

 

KEY TAKAWAYS:        

  • Build parent pages and object styles that work for you
  • Use primary text frames to automate layouts and page flow
  • Put InDesign's new AI features to work on formatting and cleanup tasks
  • Identify three common productivity drains in A/E/C proposal production and the InDesign feature that fixes each one
  • Walk away with a personal "quick wins" list you can apply to your very next pursuit

 

Audience: Intermediate

Julie Schaffer has spent 25 years in professional services marketing, shaping long, high-stakes pursuits where consistency and clarity win the work. A strategist, trainer, and Adobe Community Expert, she works primarily in InDesign, with a soft spot for proposals and a low tolerance for inconsistent formatting.

She founded Shaffer Creative in 2012 after 11 years in-house and now consults, trains, and designs for firms competing for the work that matter most. 

Julie teaches design principles that hold up across industries and platforms-practical, repeatable methods built for picky collaborators, inherited InDesign files, and strict deadlines.
