Advance technics in Indesign

1. Become a True Editorial Designer

Don’t just learn software—master the craft. Want to know how to design a book that ends up on the shelves of the world’s finest bookstores? In this course, I don’t just teach you how to use Adobe InDesign; I open the doors to Editorial EDAF, one of Spain’s most prestigious publishing houses, so you can learn using real industry standards.

2. Why Learn with Me?

I’m Manuel Pallarés, an active editorial designer. Since 2019, I’ve been responsible for bringing iconic collections to life—books you’ve undoubtedly seen in bookstores:

• EDAF Classics Collection: Interior and cover design for luxury editions.

• Arca de Sabiduría Collection: Visual identity and interior design for one of the publisher’s longest-running series.

• History Collection: Contributing to the new visual approach and cover designs, modernizing titles focused on centuries past.

With over 10 years of experience and thousands of typeset pages, my goal is to help you stop being a mere "software user" and transform you into a Junior Editorial Designer fully prepared for the job market.

My experience with major publishers allows me to work remotely for clients worldwide. In this course, I will teach you the exact methodology you need to achieve that professional freedom and build a career that fits your lifestyle.

3. What Sets This Course Apart

Design is not merely about placing elements on a page; it is about building a structure that guides the reader, respects the content, and elevates the entire reading experience. In this course, I have provided the technical foundation necessary to master the tools. However, true mastery lies in the moment when the software stops being an obstacle and becomes an extension of your artistic vision.

The Next Step: Beyond the Basics

If you have reached this point, it is because you are looking for more than just knowing how to move text boxes. You are seeking the technical precision, typographic rigor, and workflow efficiency that separate an amateur designer from a professional capable of managing entire collections and high-prestige editorial projects.

In the high-end publishing industry, we do not rely on quick fixes. We work with:

• Procedural Systems: Automating the routine through GREP expressions and master styles.

• Information Architecture: Where every margin, leading, and paragraph style serves a clear, intentional hierarchy.

• Complex Text Handling: Mastering the art of laying out 500-page volumes requires a discipline that can only be learned through real-world editorial practice.

Your Invitation to Mastery

Technical knowledge is only the beginning. If you are ready to delve into the methodology I use daily to bring iconic collections and major works to life, I invite you to discover the advanced program: Esfera EDAF.

This space is designed for those who view editorial design as a major discipline—a place where technique, the history of the book, and aesthetic rigor converge.

• From total beginners to experts

• Designers and Illustrators looking to specialize in the publishing sector.

• Journalists and Editors who want full creative autonomy over their publications.

• Design Students seeking a practical, professional approach that isn't taught in university.
