InDesign for Journalism

South Side Weekly

How do you make a piece of journalism come alive on the print page? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to lay out print pages using InDesign, including how to navigate the software and how to follow basic principles of design. If you’re interested in an immediate opportunity to use your new layout skills, this workshop will prepare you to design pages for South Side Weekly’s Best of the South Side issues, as well as other future issues of the paper. Presenters will start with general information about layout for newspapers and then go into some specifics about layout workflow at the Weekly. Then, you’ll split up into two groups—one for those with Adobe experience and one for those without—to practice hands-on.

They're committed to inclusive and democratic processes that give people a say over their lives. Come to them for help, a vegan meal, or enthusiasm!
