Los Angeles InDesign User Group

Regular Meeting

 

So You Know InDesign. Now What?

 

Thursday, March 15, 2018

7-10 p.m.

El Camino College

Haag Recital Hall, 16007 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance, CA 90506

 

 

So you're a designer, or you're learning to be a designer, or you're a designer and you're thinking about something else. Or (d) none of the above.

 

Jonathan Levit, who is simultaneously a TV and movie actor (e.g., The X-Files, FlashForward, Club du Cuervos), a professional magician and magic consultant (e.g., Magic Castle, Now You See Me, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone) and a graphic designer and production artist, is the perfect person to help you though it.

 

What we'll discuss:

  • Getting validation either with a degree or with Adobe certification—or both
  • Working for an agency, in-house at a company, or as a freelancer
  • The graphics world beyond InDesign
  • Getting rich with InDesign, or maybe not
  • Kicking graphics to the curb altogether

 

In other words:

  • Getting a job
