How To Create A Fanzine With Adobe InDesign

Posted on July 9, 2016July 14, 2016 by mark williams

No more sticking text onto bits of paper and photocopying, there is now a much easier way of creating your very own Fanzine – all you need is a few basic skills in Adobe InDesign. For those of you who are a bit hazy on what a Fanzine is, let me explain. Fanzines have been around for more than 100 years. They first took the form of science fiction publications in the late 1920s, and are essentially amateur magazines produced by fans. Indeed, Fanzines – or ‘Zines’, as they are also known – have become an exclusive form of magazine up until the present. The most influent...

5 Tips On Writing A Whitepaper

Posted on June 21, 2016October 17, 2019 by mark williams

Whitepapers have evolved past their original function as government issue documents and have proliferated in the world of business as a way of presenting marketing information. Similar in nature to an academic essay, a whitepaper selects evidence and constructs a logical argument in favour of the company or viewpoint they are promoting. So, why write a whitepaper? Due in no small part to its connotations with academic writing and government documents, a whitepaper can generate more credibility and trust than a regular piece of advertising. By avoiding the usual methods of soundbites, inf...

5 Quick Tips To Get You Started With Photoshop

Posted on June 18, 2016June 22, 2016 by mark williams

Adobe Photoshop is one of those programs that will take even the most dedicated photographic digital artist a whole lifetime to master. It’s a massive piece of software – so big, in fact, that I’m sure even the developers don’t know the whole way around. I’ve been using Adobe products for the best part of 8 years, and I’m still learning new things each time I fire one up. And for me, that’s the beauty and excitement of learning something like Photoshop – you never stop learning. However, I’m very well aware that for the complete novice, the whole stress of just getting started with th...

Why Adobe Creative Cloud Is The Ultimate Tool For Business

Posted on June 10, 2016August 4, 2016 by mark williams

For years, Adobe have been the number one company for building creative design software. And for good reason – the design software suite from Adobe is simply the best. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a designer that would genuinely refute this assertion. Each of Adobe’s flagship programs – Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign – are extremely powerful tools in their own respective rights. Photograph manipulation is practically infinite with Photoshop. Graphic designs are implausibly good with Illustrator. And what you can’t put together in an InDesign document simply can’t be put together a...

Getting Started With Illustrator’s New Features

Posted on May 17, 2016May 18, 2016 by mark williams

With a bedrock as firm as Adobe’s Creative Cloud tools, it’s not brand new pieces of software that we look forward to, but updates to existing ones. Indeed, it’s not that we could ever imagine, nor even want, a replacement for Adobe Illustrator – but if Adobe were so inclined every once in a while to give it a rejig, to make it better, faster, more powerful, and with maybe one or two new features thrown in for us to get our teeth into, then who are we to complain? The new features for Adobe Illustrator are indeed as exciting as the news that foretold them. But, as with all things brand new, t...
