Adobe InDesign – Sample Documents

On this page you will find examples of the type of documents created by delegates during the 2-day PPA Adobe InDesign Introductory course.

Please note these are examples only of the documents created during recent courses and are intended to provide an idea of the sort of work delegates should be able to tackle confidently at the end of the 2-day course.

The actual course assignments vary from time to time and delegates attending future courses may well produce different documents that provide an opportunity to practice similar skills.
