InDesign your Life
Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign
The marketing and design department uses InDesign exclusively (versus things like Publisher or the ancient QuarkXPress). Overall, InDesign is used to create publications or multi-page layout documents. We typically use InDesign to streamline our efforts for marketing in multiple languages and master pages, layers, and a combination of other items allows us to export different marketing materials quickly and efficiently.
Pros
- Multi-page layout
- Publication Design
- Magazine Design
- Print Design
- Pre-Press
Cons
- Introduction to new tools
- Paragraph styles should be more intuitive
- Have pre-set document layouts for InDesign newbies
- Marketing materials are praised.
- InDesign allows us to create brochures and marketing materials for the consumer.
- InDesign is not restrictive in that it can be used for multiple applications, but its strong suit lies in multi-page layout publishing.
Quark is dated and was something I was learning back in 2007-2008. InDesign came out of the gate sprinting and has not looked back since. From a usability standpoint and because of industry standards, InDesign has become the go-to platform for multi-page layout documents, prepress, and more. Quark is to Corel as InDesign is to Photoshop.
