For your class project, you'll be designing and creating an undated printable planner, as you learn the basics of Adobe InDesign.

The class is broken down into segments, and I have provided you with a number of downloads and resources to assist you in learning Adobe InDesign as you design and create your planner. As you progress through the class, I will ask you to share your progress in the project section of this class:

Workspace customization: I will show you how to save time and frustration, by customizing your workspace. As we walk through the customization process, I have included a "Customize Your Workspace Worksheet" that you can use to check off your progress, and when you have completed your own workspace customization, I ask that you snap a photo of your worksheet and post it in the project section of the class.
Planner design: Before you begin creating your planner in InDesign, you need a game plan. So I will ask you to use the “Planner Design Worksheet” to sketch out a design for a monthly two-page spread, and a weekly two-page spread, that you can use as a reference to create your planner. Once your design is sketched out, I ask you to snap a photo of it and post it in the project section.
Planner creation: As you learn how to create your planner, using tables, grids and paragraph styles, I would love for you to share screenshots of 1-2 pages of your planner in the Project Gallery.
Planner cover: You guessed it! When we address planner cover design, I would love to see a screenshot or photo of your planner cover.
Link to your published planner: Yes! Getting to this point is a huge accomplishment, so please share a link to your published planner, so we can follow along and celebrate your success!

I also encourage you to share your projects on social media. You can tag me @DebJeffreyDotCom and use #MyIDPlanner

I look forward to seeing your unique planner design and celebrating your success as you publish your planner!
