Imago’s 2008 Training Programme is off to a flying
start.
We have a total of over twenty confirmed dates running
between now and the end of June. With such a
comprehensive range of courses on offer, we are
confident that you will come and train with Imago this
year. There really is something for everyone in
Publishing!
Thank you to all those who give us such useful and
positive feedback on the courses we run and for your
suggestions on new course areas that interest you.
Please do keep the suggestions coming - our training
team are keen to continue developing the programme and
to deliver the best available industry training.

Here is the latest news on our key training areas:
UNDERSTANDING COLOUR -
places on
this course are being snapped up as soon as we announce
new dates and sadly we have been turning people away.
Our 13 Feb course is full and we have added further
dates to keep up with demand. We are now taking
bookings for 30th April and 11th June.
PRODUCT
SAFETY - Basic Safety & Safety Workshop -
ensuring your products are safe is vitally important and
keeping up to speed and understanding the legislation
and requirements is not at all easy.
Help is at hand! Our
next two scheduled courses are being run by
Linda Crane & Diane Greaves.
Diane has recently joined Imago as an independent safety
advisor and will eventually be taking over the running
of our safety courses from Linda.
INDESIGN -
InDesign
CS3 has now been launched and Mark Bracey our
trainer is already up to speed and ready to train you in
the latest version of the software.
The
updated version has a streamlined interface that gives
you greater control over your work area and is now
co-ordinated across the creative suite (i.e. Photoshop
and Illustrator etc). There are many improvements which
all add up to a new great package, for example: you are
able to carry out multiple placing of images and text in
one action. There are enhanced transparency effects
that include graduated and directional feathers as well
as embossing and bevelling of objects.
We run different InDesign courses for the
different skill groups: Editors, Production and
Designers who are either moving over to using
InDesign or need refresher training.
CTP -
Computer to Plate and Digital workflows are now the norm
within the publishing industry, but do you really
understand what needs to be on that disk and what
happens when you send it off? Teresa Solomon & Joanna
Figg-Latham make a technical subject accessible and
interesting. Imago have three CTP courses for
Design and Production staff to learn and keep updated on
the changes in our digital working environment. Our
CTP courses show you why you need to understand the
software issues and the workflow to prevent costly
errors and schedule delays. Teresa and Joanna’s
approachable style will ensure you know what should be
on that disk by the end of the day!
BASIC & PROACTIVE PRODUCTION
- our
production
courses are incredibly popular so ensure you book early
to secure your place! Basic Production is
a brilliant introduction to the whole production process
within publishing, relevant not only for production
staff but also for Editorial, Design and Marketing staff
who all need to understand what they are trying to
produce
and the production limitations and logistics!
In addition to scheduled courses we also offer bespoke
training in the same subject areas which we create for
particular groups of people. If you need something
specific that you do not see here, do please contact us.
