Adobe InDesign follows up on its promising debut with a powerhouse version 2.0. Designers and production artists will find a treasure trove of innovative features including true transparency, drop shadows, book documents, indexing, table creation, hyperlinks, a compact printing interface, native Mac OS X support, and tighter integration with other Adobe products. With all that's new in InDesign 2, you need a no-nonsense guide that lets you learn as you work--you need InDesign 2 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide.
The book's success lies in its easy-to-navigate, task-based format. You'll never get lost: Simple, concise steps walk you through each task, and there are plenty of screenshots to keep you on track. InDesign 2: VQS starts with an introduction to InDesign's tools and palettes, then moves on to the basic techniques that underlie all InDesign projects: creating and managing a document, importing and styling text and objects, using the Bezier pen tools, working with color, and automation techniques. Thanks to the book's page tabs, seasoned InDesign users can quickly thumb straight to more advanced topics, such as typography control, color management, and preflighting, as well as exporting as Acrobat files."
