Paul Thompson

Hello, I'm Paul, an Adobe Certified instructor specialising in Indesign and Incopy training for editors, designers and pre-press professionals – showing you the most efficient and creative ways to work professionally with the software.

With over 20 years experience in training, as well as offering courses for beginners, I offer migration training for those moving from other software to Indesign. In 2004/5 I trained over 1500 designers and editors at Emap as they succesfully migrated 109 newspapers and magazines from QuarkXpress to InDesign. Part of this project was to create Best Practice Guidelines plus online training notes and videos. I have also written training books for BBC New Media. In 2008/9 I trained at the Daily Express on a Woodwing/Indesign/Incopy workflow then then in 2010 gave training and support to the Archant Newspaper group as they implemented an Atex Content Management System for both print and web across 59 local newspapers. I am currently working at the Sunday Times as they move the paper on to the iPad using an InDesign/Woodwing Digital Magazine workflow.

Prior to becoming a trainer I worked as a Designer and Senior Editor and still run Digital Dimensions, a design company, based in West Sussex. I have an honours degree in Education and am a Member of the Chartered institute of Personnel and Development.

If you are looking for InDesign or InCopy training or consultancy about your workflows please get in contact. I offer quality training at very affordable rates for individuals, groups and organisations.
