Bring Your Own Laptop: Stop Wasting Time in InDesign - Do These 7 Things

Stop fumbling around with your layouts—InDesign pro Khara Plicanic dishes out seven game-changing hacks to supercharge your workflow in 2025. First up, lock in your go-to fonts as defaults and customize text frames so you’re never tweaking settings mid-design. Dive into PSD layer controls (and a neat one-click shortcut to fire up Photoshop) to keep edits seamless and non-destructive.

Next, build pixel-perfect grids at lightning speed with Gridify and the Gap tool, then flex Adobe’s AI muscle using Generative Expand to beef up your visuals. Make Bridge your best buddy for asset wrangling, and cap it all off with “Next Style” for one-click text formatting—because perfect layouts shouldn’t take forever.
