I've discovered that some tools in Adobe InDesign are simpler to use than others. For example, the Text Tool is really easy to use and will make it simple for me to add and format text in my layouts. Making aesthetic changes to fonts, sizes, and colors is a straightforward and intuitive way to create visually beautiful text elements. In a similar vein, the Shape Tool will be simple to use and allow me to rapidly add forms like circles and rectangles to my designs. But I might run into some difficulties, especially with the Pen Tool and other similar tools. I know it can be used to create unique shapes and paths once I get better at it, but it takes accuracy and practice to master.


Using Adobe InDesign can significantly enhance my graphic design business by leveraging its comprehensive set of tools. With features like the Text Tool, I can efficiently create and format text elements, allowing me to produce visually engaging designs with ease. Additionally, the Shape Tool enables me to incorporate custom shapes and graphics into my projects, giving them a unique and professional look. Mastering tools like the Pen Tool will expand my capabilities further, allowing me to create intricate illustrations and designs tailored to my clients' needs. Moreover, features like the Layers panel enhance organization and streamline my workflow, ensuring that I can manage complex projects efficiently. Overall, Adobe InDesign equips me with the necessary tools to deliver high-quality designs that meet and exceed my clients' expectations, thus driving the success and growth of my graphic design business.


I've learned that tutorial videos are really beneficial as I work my way through InDesign. They show me how to use InDesign's features and tools in the real world through realistic design projects and step-by-step instructions. The fact that the videos provide insightful advice for maximizing workflow effectiveness particularly piques my interest. I'm learning more about InDesign's possibilities and developing the ability I need to confidently create eye-catching layouts by following along with the courses. But the Layers panel is another tool that I've found to be a little challenging. Although it has taken some getting used to, I can see how managing the stacking order and visibility of pieces inside my layout is crucial for keeping my tasks organized and productive.

Business Card

Using InDesign, I was able to incorporate deep symbolism into each design to create personal business cards that truly reflected who I am. The first card represents the light I bring into people's lives; it has a captivating eye. My presence brings joy and support, much like the eye is a window to the soul. The vivid green color represents my name, Jaide, like the priceless Jade stone. The second card, with the initials "JG," pays tribute to my ancestry and my great-great-grandmother's name Georgiane. Finally, the third card's bright blue color represents my zodiac sign, Pisces, which is a sensitive and adaptable water sign. These cards were mostly created by hand using InDesign's rectangle tool to create the color backgrounds. In order to achieve the ideal colors and make sure every shade had the intended meaning, the Adobe Color Wheel was essential.

- Jaide Edwards Embracing that I am a Pisces, I am unique because of the difficulties I faced as a baby due to my brachial plexus, which shaped my life from the beginning.

I tried to incorporate the Pisces symbol into my artistic expression while exploring ways to set it apart from the traditional interpretation. This graphic depiction not only conveys the astrological essence but also the courage that comes from overcoming adversity in life. Using Illustrator on adobe design software, I created this profound graphic that represents my path as a Pisces. With the anchor pen tool, I carefully sketched the picture. Precise sentence arrangement was made easier by the direct selection tool, which improved the visual storytelling. By utilizing the type on path feature, I was able to include text into each layout with ease and create a coherent story. Usin...
