Podcasts about Adobe InDesign

Season 5 of The Shortlist kicks off with a fan-favorite: InDesign Rumble (Part 2). Wendy Simmons, Becky Ellison, and Lauren Jane Peterson continue their spirited conversation on how AEC marketers actually use Adobe InDesign, workarounds and all.This episode explores how even seasoned designers evolve their skills in a tool most learned on the fly. The MO6 team dives into efficiency-boosters like automation, AI features, data merge, CC Libraries, and paragraph styles. They also call out "common pitfalls" found in inherited files, from hand-built tables to overbuilt parent pages, and discuss when a quick workaround becomes a project liability.The takeaway? There's rarely one "right" way to work. Whether you're an InDesign expert or a self-proclaimed "level 6," this episode will spark new ideas to streamline your next pursuit. Listen in to unlock major gains in efficiency and clarity.CPSM CEU Credits: 0.5 | Domain: 4

InDesign 2026 is here—and so are David and Anne-Marie! In this episode of The CreativePro Podcast, David Blatner and Anne-Marie Concepción bring back InDesign Secrets and dig into the newest release of Adobe InDesign (v21). They explore what's fresh, and what's just plain weird. From the new Flex Layout feature to live text editing in the browser, they unpack the good, the bad, and the future potential of InDesign's next chapter. Along the way, they share favorite finds, event updates, and a few classic "InDesign Secrets" throwbacks—complete with the return of the Obscure InDesign Feature of the Week (-eek!). Highlights: Who are David and Anne-Marie? Anne-Marie's LinkedIn Learning courses David's LinkedIn Learning courses InDesign User Group: 20th Anniversary Adobe MAX Obscure Feature of the Week: Emit CSS InDesign 2026: Flex Layout makes its debut (similar to CSS Flex Layout) David explains how Flex Containers let designers control spacing, alignment, and relationships among multiple objects. InDesign's "InCopy on the Web" (beta) Despite the confusing name, this new feature introduces true browser-based text editing for clients and collaborators. Cloud collaboration Cloud Documents Cloud documents now autosave, sync live edits, and support share-for-text-editing links. Math Expressions evolve Math Expressions MathML integration improves with a dedicated panel and the long-awaited ability to copy equations directly from Microsoft Word into InDesign. Jean-Claude's script to convert math expressions to RGB to CMYK Context Bar gets smarter (and slightly more confusing) The floating context menu now includes quick access to paragraph and character styles. Adobe Express template integration The new "Templates" option on InDesign's Home screen opens the Express web app, not native templates—an unexpected (and debatable) choice.

Bloggen is passé? Niet als je het Joyce van de Pas vraagt. Wat ooit begon als een creatieve uitlaatklep naast haar baan in loondienst, groeide uit tot een professioneel platform, een levendige community en een business met duizenden klanten. In aflevering 75 van de Female Leaders Podcast spreekt Maartje Blijleven met Joyce over het bouwen van een bedrijf op je eigen voorwaarden: vanuit huis, met zichtbaarheid én vrijheid als leidraad.Van hobby naar verdienmodelWat begon met schrijven, werd een onderneming. Met 200.000 bezoekers per maand, duizenden volgers en een eigen community, is Joyce inmiddels een gevestigde naam. Ze schreef een boek over slowcookers (dat steevast hoog in de zoekresultaten eindigt), lanceerde verschillende online producten en hielp talloze vrouwen met het starten van hun eigen platform.Zichtbaarheid zonder perfectieEen belangrijk thema in het gesprek is zichtbaarheid. Joyce laat zich online zien zoals ze is: op haar gemak, met humor, zonder filter. “Vroeger dacht ik dat ik er perfect uit moest zien of altijd iets briljants moest zeggen,” zegt ze. “Tot ik merkte dat mensen juist op me aangingen omdat ik normaal deed. Omdat ik er wás.”Dat maakt haar benadering verfrissend in een online wereld die vaak draait om ‘meer, mooier, beter'. Joyce kiest voor duurzaam bereik boven vluchtige likes. Voor relaties boven bereikcijfers. En dat werkt.Community als krachtbronAls communitybouwer herkent Maartje Blijleven, host van de podcast en oprichter van de Female Leaders Club, direct de kracht van Joyce' aanpak. “Je voelt dat Joyce haar community niet ‘bedenkt', maar belichaamt,” zegt Maartje. “Ze weet waar haar volgers mee zitten, en maakt het vervolgens praktisch, laagdrempelig en leuk.”Dat komt ook terug in haar slowcookerboek, gemaakt omdat haar communityleden erom vroegen. Doordat ze precies wist wat die wilden én omdat ze ChatGPT slim om hulp vroeg bij het leren van Adobe Indesign, had ze het boek binnen 3 weken af. Ze is daarmee een voorbeeld voor ondernemers die willen bouwen aan een business met inhoud, impact én vrijheid.Wil je het hele gesprek horen?Beluister dan aflevering 75 van de Female Leaders Podcast met Joyce van de Pas.Over Maartje BlijlevenMaartje Blijleven (1979) is #1 bestsellerauteur, keynote spreker en senior community strateeg met meer dan 24 jaar ervaring bij o.a. Endemol, KLM en Facebook. Ze is oprichter van de Female Leaders Club: dé plek voor vrouwen die niet alleen dromen van impact, maar het ook waarmaken. Als directeur van We Love Communities helpt ze bedrijven en professionals met het strategisch opzetten, activeren en laten groeien van (online & offline) communities. Maartje staat bekend als de 'Queen of Communities' en inspireert met haar expertise op het snijvlak van digitale marketing, community building en AI-gedreven contentcreatie.Over Joyce van de PasJoyce van de Pas is founder van Mams at Work: een online platform en community voor moeders die balans zoeken tussen werk, gezin en persoonlijke ontwikkeling. Ze is fulltime blogger, auteur van het populaire slowcookerboek, contentstrateeg en ondernemer pur sang. Joyce combineert nuchtere kennis met slimme marketing, en helpt haar lezers en klanten met praktische tips, eerlijke verhalen en producten die écht werken. Haar missie?

Adobe InDesign is a must-have tool for AEC marketers, but let's be honest—many of us honed our proposal design skills on the job, often under a deadline. Even experienced users sometimes wonder: Am I using the best approach? In this episode of The Shortlist, host Wendy Simmons sits down with some of Middle of Six's InDesign "power users" Allison Tivnon, Becky Ellison, and Lauren Jane Peterson to explore the many ways designers approach InDesign for proposals and marketing collateral. From file setup and text layout to graphics and formatting, every designer has their own techniques—but is there really a "right" way? The discussion covers key differences in workflow, including parent pages, grids, pagination, text styling, and shortcuts. They also rumble over linking vs. embedding graphics, managing color palettes, table styles, and columns vs. threaded text. With so many ways to get the job done, sharing insights can lead to game-changing discoveries. Whether you're a meticulous organizer or a creative risk-taker, this episode will challenge the way you think about design workflows. CPSM CEU Credits: 0.5 | Domain: 4
