Getting Started with Adobe InDesign

Posted on January 20, 2016January 21, 2016 by mark williams

InDesign is one of the most important tools for various design-related occupational uses. Whether it be magazines, brochures, packaging, posters or flyers, or you would like to create more corporate documents, such as importing graphical and table data, or creating documents and forms for PDF print.

InDesign and other Adobe programs use similar formats and layouts across their products, therefore making things that l...

Adobe Bridge: The Creative Link Between InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator

Posted on December 18, 2015July 26, 2018 by mark williams

It wasn’t long ago – in this very blog, in fact – that I was raising the not uncommon hypothetical question: why doesn’t Adobe just combine all the greatest elements of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign into one almighty, all-powerful package that can do everything? Well, at the time, I answered quite succinctly – “They don’t,” I said. And then added: “They might do one day, but for the time being we have to make use of them all separately – but that doesn’t mean that they can’t all be used as one single application.” var uri = 'https://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(img)g(22838624)a(30...

Fixed-layout Vs. Reflowable EPUBs: InDesign eBook Formats Explained

Posted on December 4, 2015July 26, 2018 by mark williams

The past eight years or so have really been the glory days for self-publishing. Since the advent of Amazon’s Kindle in 2007, writers (and “writers”) and novelists (and “novelists”) have come out of the woodwork, now producing nearly half a million self-published eBooks every single year – and most of them, to be frank, aren’t really any good. var uri = 'https://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(img)g(22838624)a(3049974)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11); document.write(''); Writing aside, the actual quality of the vast majority of these publications leave a lot to be desir...

How To Start Using Photoshop And InDesign Together

Posted on November 13, 2015January 12, 2023 by mark williams

Adobe products are made for each another. Of course they are – that’s (more than) half the attraction of signing up to the Creative Cloud. Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, InDesign – they have all been carved from the same wood, if you like, and the result is that they are all harmoniously in tune. It’s no accident, of course – they have been built this way. That is to say that they are meant to be used together – the only obstacle is in working out just how it’s done. Well, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog we are going to be exploring how to start getting two of Adobe’s most c...

Top 5 Interactive Features That Can Be Built Into PDFs With InDesign

Posted on November 11, 2015October 14, 2021 by mark williams

If you think that a document is always a document, then you should think again. Whereas for centuries it was only possible to fill documents with text and imagery, in the modern world, where the internet and technology reign supreme, no longer are documents only created in physical form, they have become electronic as well – and that opens up all manner of possibilities. Indeed, paper-based documents are already dinosaurs in the digital age, as email, eBooks, HTML and even electronic administrative forms are very rapidly replac...
