Adobe InDesign CS3 Bible
While QuarkXPress has been the most-widely used page-layout program in the world, Adobe InDesign is rapidly gaining ground with better typography and transparency features, speedier performance, and more overall control. In July 2004, Adobe announced that Hearst Magazines, one of the world's largest magazine publishers with 18 U.S. titles and more
than 137 international editions, has adopted the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Adobe InDesign CS software, as its standard publishing solution, and scores of other publishers are following suit. Written by a respected InDesign and QuarkXPress expert, this title is packed with real-world insights from publishing pros who use InDesign in critical projects, Adobe InDesign Bible shows users the program's innovative architecture and functionality and tells them everything they need to know to get up to speed. Whether experienced designers, a novices, or somewhere in between, readers will find all the real-world tips and techniques they're looking for in this comprehensive reference.
