Create A Digital Planner Using Adobe InDesign (Free Dated Planner)

Welcome All,

I’m Janna, by day analyst, by night digital tech savvy guru.

I first came across digital planning a while ago and was intrigued how they are made, all the functionalities and found it difficult to find videos on how to create a digital planner from scratch. Digital Planning has changed my life and I love how customisable they are and how personal you can make them!

I’ve created this video to share how I have created digital planners using InDesign. We will be creating this planner from scratch A - Z.

Have you ever wondered how people manage to add hundreds of dates to their dated planners? I will show you how to add hundred/thousands of dates/text in a few clicks instead of manually adding them into your planner in this course!

Planners can be created for your own personal use and to sell as passive income on sites such as Etsy. Digital downloads are a perfect way to make extra income this year.

For this project you will need a tablet/desktop, as well as a PDF reader (I use GoodNotes) but any PDF reader will work well with this.

This class will feature the following topics:

• Introduction To The Course

• Thinking About How Our Planner Will Be Structured

• Setting Up Our InDesign Document

• What Are Master Pages & Why Are They Useful To Digital Planners?

• Creating Our Dates Text File For Our Planner

• Creating Our Daily Planner Pages

• Using Data Merge To Automatically Generate Dates

• Creating Our Cover Page

• Creating Our Monthly Planner Page

• How To Override Master Elements On A Page

• Creating Our Notes & Sticker Pages

• Adding Hyperlinks To Our Planner Tabs

• Arranging Our Planner Pages Into Order

• How To Add A Background

• How To Export Our Planner As A PDF

• How To Import Planner Into GoodNotes

• Conclusion

The digital planner we create together in this course will be available to you at the end of the course to start your digital planning journey, this planner isn’t to be resold or distributed, it’s for personal use only for the students of this course.

I would love to see what designs everyone creates, please share your projects with me!

I hope you find this tutorial useful and thank you for taking the time to attend my class.
