Product Overview

Product Overview

QuarkXPress® is widely used in advertising and by magazines, newspapers, printers and publishers, but the software can appear complex if you haven’t used it before. In this training DVD, instructor Mark Schlesinger explores the basics – from setting up your workspace to adding text and graphics – before moving on to the more advanced features. The step-by-step format walks you through everything you need to know, including real life exercises such as creating a flyer and advertisement for an emerging rock group.

Mark breaks down Quark’s extensive array of features and tools into manageable chunks such as "Working with Text", "Stylesheets" and "Layers". You start with a general overview of your work area and quickly progress through working with items, creating new projects and adding text and graphics. When you’re ready, you can learn complex techniques, such as blending backgrounds and creating layers. The great thing about this DVD is you can learn at your own pace and level.

Quark’s modern, intuitive interface is explored in detail to help you feel comfortable using the software, and your training also includes a range of fun exercises that let you apply your new skills to create posters, flyers and even your very own magazine! Learn from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace. Order today and learn QuarkXPress® 8 and 7 inside out.
