GREP is one of the most important features in InDesign, and sadly it’s one of the least used! In this half-day session, we’ll get you up to speed (from zero to 60!) with this amazing tool for finding, changing, and formatting text patterns.
Erica will share some in-depth GREP expressions to put into your SuperDesigner’s toolkit. When it comes to automating text in your InDesign documents, using GREP can give you that boost you need to improve your accuracy, consistency, and productivity. We’ll look at some design samples and learn—among other things—how to:
Plus, learn why Erica calls this feature “unicorns and rainbows”!

The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never been truer than it is today with the need to tell a story on a global scale. Whether it is a product illustration, book cover, political view, or whatever type of image you need, Illustrator and Photoshop are the tools to get the job done. In this session, you will learn how to create photorealistic imagery from scratch. You will also see how photographic elements can be altered using the tools in Photoshop to create images that can’t be photographed.

We wanted to call this session “InCopy for Fun and Profit” because… well, like we say, “if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right!” But can software for editors actually be “fun”? It sure can, especially when you consider the alternative: endless revision rounds, mark-up, and design proofs for everyone involved. And just watch how profitable it can be when it reduces your publication’s turnaround time in half. (And at only $4.99/month, it’s Adobe’s most affordable Creative Cloud app.)
Join InCopy/InDesign workflow expert Anne-Marie Concepcion as she demonstrates how it works, starting from a “first proof” partially-finished InDesign layout all the way to sending the final, packaged publication to the printer. She’ll explain when InCopy is the best solution as well as when it isn’t (and alternatives to consider), as well as strategies for gradually incorporating InCopy with your existing workflow.

Patterns are everywhere! But as much as Adobe wants you to think it’s easy as clicking a button, creating and using great patterns is an art as much as science. Whether you’re creating patterns for textile/fashion design or print, it’s critical that you understand what makes a great pattern work.
