Fantastic, just the sort of thing i was looking for. Thanks!

So, with the new name change, since I wasn’t able to glean this from the announcement, are all tutorials from now on only going to be available for $9/month? My buddy was just asking me about InDesign and I was going to link him to this tutorial but then realized it’s a plus tut.

Wow!
( )insic February 19th
OMG!
( )The rambler February 19th
Allthough I can understand these amazing tutorials come from an amazing little place. The idea of posting a tutorial making it only accessible to plus members is seriously uncool.
(if it aint broke don’t fix it springs to mind)
Are we on this site only to provide inspiration to others or to make money

( )So little good tutorials about this nice piece of software already.
Roy February 19th
Love this! Hope to see more of this kind of tuts.
( )flyingturtle February 19th
anyone know a good place to learn some good InDesign from?? and i agree with Kieran seriously thinking of joining now.

Not all the tuts or InDesign tuts will be plus, I think the bigger projects or special authors tuts will be Plus.
$9 = Photoshop tutorials + Nettuts + vectortuts and more to come.
I have really only used the photoshop tutorials but now I have started to get into web-design and creating my own vectors rather than buy them from stock sites.

Thanks everyone!
This tut has approx 60 steps. If you’re ready to get your feet wet grab the + membership. You won’t be disappointed. Plus members, am I right? Speak up!

I logged into my plus account to work on this project and couldn’t find it anywhere. Is there a link I can follow right to the plus tutorial?

@Ben – Once you’re in the Vectortuts Plus area, click on “Bonus Tutorials” at the top and it’s just a few down. Or, type in “Design a Print-Ready Accordion Fold Document in Adobe InDesign” into the search field and you’ll see it pop up. Enjoy! Thx.

Sweet thank you so much Sean. I totally missed the Bonus Tutorials section of the site.
