Question

There are many trial software applications available for use that allows you to try the software before you purchase it to see if it is the software that fits your needs. Go to the Adobe Web site (http://www.adobe.com) and download InDesign. Install the software then use the software to create a flyer selling the software. Use as many of the basic features as you can to create a flyer that shows as well as tells about the advantages of this software.

Go to http://www.quark.com. Download a free trial of the latest Quark software. Create a similar flyer demonstrating and telling about the advantages of Quark desktop publishing software.

Write a one page summary sharing what you have learned from your short experience with the software. Based on this experience, which software would you purchase? Why did you choose that software?

Explanation / Answer

My experience with the software:

I notice first is the heavily designed user interface. Grey colour scheme and the on-screen Palettes grouped and docked to the right or left edge of the screen, with the option of automatic hiding when not in use. You can enlarge the document window to fill the screen by hiding the top menu bar. Where a menu launches a floating dialogue, you can drag the lower edge to fit in longer lists of options without scrolling

For imported photographs or PDF files with multiple layers, the new Advanced Image Control palette shows all the layers and you can switch their visibility on and off for any combination. Other tabs display and control the colour and alpha channels and paths.

Automatic alignment of multiple objects has been refined, so that the first object you select in a group becomes the master to which the others are aligned.

The B
