Discover InDesign CS2 with Ted LoCascio
9/12/2005
Powerful, intuitive features and seamless integration with other Adobe products have made Adobe InDesign the rising star among page layout programs. With InDesign CS2, designers can use object styles to apply and globally update object-level formatting more efficiently; share InDesign objects with others using snippets; easily anchor callouts, pull quotes, margin notes, and graphics to text using Anchored Objects; automatically style Microsoft Word files on import by mapping Word styles to InDesign styles; and much more. To help designers make the most of these features and many others, graphic designer and Adobe expert Ted LoCascio has written two amazing books that cover the ins and outs of InDesign CS2.
InDesign CS2 at Your Fingertips (Sybex, an imprint of Wiley; Sept. 2005; $24.99) is the ultimate reference for those switching from QuarkXPress or PageMaker to Adobe InDesign or just starting out with page layout and design. Its easy-to-follow format and task-based approach gives readers instant access to all the tasks they'll want to perform. Topics are divided into sections with coverage of the workspace, page building, typography, graphics, color, and output. Each section is tabbed for easy navigation, and the coverage of color includes color illustrations. InDesign CS2 at Your Fingertips will help users get acquainted with InDesign and get to work creating beautiful layouts.
For designers looking to take their work to the next level with cool tricks and unique effects, The InDesign Effects Book (Sybex, an imprint of Wiley; Dec. 2005; $29.99) shows them how. LoCascio teaches readers dozens of breathtaking effects that they can make a vital part of their everyday work. Tricks include creating 3D looks, adding glow effects to editable text, skewing type on a path, and using Feather to add highlights and shadows. Even experienced users will be amazed by the visual and text effects that are possible with InDesign and The InDesign Effects Book.
