Learning About Indesign

These couple of weeks it was all about indesign. I really liked this software and believe the skills I have learnt in it will really come in handy one day.
I had some trouble with the pen tool; it was hard trying to get the exact image I wanted. The curves were particularly hard to create.
Learning to use the frames was very useful; I never knew that they were used like that. It made it so much easier to resize and make the image exactly placed and the size I wanted. The group function was also useful and I had fun with the white arrow.
Another difficulty I faced was that I had trouble selecting the object I wanted. I also seemed to have clicked by a nearby object instead and this shows that perhaps my frames were too big. I need to make them smaller next time, or even just right.
Putting in text was kind of standard but it is indeed useful to be able to place text instead.
I also learnt that the files would be better if they were placed in the same folder, I will keep that in mind next time.
I quite liked this software and look forward to using it more. I believe with practice I will get better at it and for now I think I am doing okay. I needed more time on some parts but I still could do it in the end.
