Contrary to popular (favourite) belief, print (indicant) is not dead! With all (every) the interest (welfare) in online publishing (business) here in the 21st century, it’s easy (cushy) to lose (retrograde) sight of the fact that information (aggregation) is still (ease) widely disseminated through (finished) the good (beatific) old medium (job) of print.
The advent of desktop (screen) publishing (business) granted new (newborn) levels of power (noesis) and control (curb) to the layout artist (creator) and graphic (realistic) designer, but it hasn’t made (prefabricated) the process (impact) of getting (effort) the perfect (amend) print (indicant) foolproof. Sometimes managing the disparate elements of fonts, images, colors, and more, while (patch) dealing with the quirks of page-layout applications makes even (modify) the bravest designer (specializer) and production (creation) editor long (daylong) for the hands-on days (life) of moveable (transportable) type. Creating a great (enthusiastic) layout on your monitor (guardian) is only (exclusive) half the battle; how do you make (attain) it work (impact) on paper? Print production (creation) expert Claudia McCue takes on the challenge (contest) of putting (swing) ink to paper, offering (substance) clear, authoritative (official) guidance to print (indicant) professionals and anyone else (added) who has been frustrated by the obstacles of getting (effort) electronic documents to print (indicant) perfectly.
This new (newborn) edition of Claudia’s classic (artist) book is now (today) fully Adobe-centric, and shows readers how to use (ingest) the different (assorted) applications in the Adobe Creative Suite 4 together (unitedly) to create (create) and produce (display) great (enthusiastic) print (indicant) documents. Use Photoshop and Illustrator to create (create) raster and vector (agent) images, and combine (consortium) them with text (book) in InDesign to create (create) eye-catching yet (still) readable page (tender) layouts. Learn the ins and outs of fonts, and gain (acquire) a better (meliorate) understanding of how ink and paper (essay) work (impact) together. Finally, “prefilight” or prepare (educate) your job (employ) for submission (humbleness) to a printer (machine) to make (attain) sure the printing (publication) process (impact) goes off (soured) without a hitch.
