Best Practices for Desktop Publishing: A guide for working with InDesign, QuarkXPress, and other page-layout programs

 

Why do some documents look better, more readable, more professional than others? Because some people know the small (and not so small) but important rules to follow when laying out a document. This guide covers all of the rules about dealing with text, images, colors, and files, so your documents will always look slick, inviting, and well put together. 

 

You'll learn how to treat your fonts right, how to set up styles for paragraphs and characters, how to flow text around images, how to manage all the tricky aspects of photographs, colors, and objects, and how to work with your print shop.

 

This practical, approachable guide by experienced page-layout expert Sandee Cohen will help you master the art of creating supremely readable documents.
