Graphic artists and digital publishers choose InDesign when they want creative control in manipulating page elements, mainly text and images, in single or multipage documents.

Work Flow

History

Before technology, designers laid out documents using traditional paste-up techniques. With the development of PageMaker, desktop publishing became accessible to the masses. In 1999, Adobe Systems released InDesign to replace the fledgling PageMaker program and to compete with QuarkXPress’ growing popularity with design professionals.FunctionFrom brochures to books to advertisements, InDesign enables designers to import text, photographs and vector art, place them onto a page, and link multiple pages together for quick print and electronic distribution.

Features

In multiple page documents, InDesign excels at providing page management tools, such as page reorder, text linking, master pages and numbering. InDesign also integrates with the Adobe Suite products, including In Copy, Bridge, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and Flash, and shares some common navigation and tools.

Limitations

InDesign offers only basic illustration and photo manipulation tools, eliminating the need to use other programs, such as Illustrator or Photoshop, for minor edits.

Benefits

One highlight of InDesign is its preflight capabilities for controlling and prepping files for offset print production. Adobe InDesign is a widely-used software program for page composition, design and production.

Editorial Support

Copy editing is also known as ce is the work of an editor to improve the accuracy/style/formatting of a manuscript and prepare it for publication. Copy editing or line editing as it is sometimes called in publishing circles, is the painstaking job of going through a manuscript line by line to correct the spelling, grammar and punctuation. In the world of publishing, helvetica is not a holiday resort, curly quotes aren’t a cheese snack, and a bastard title is really nothing to be ashamed about. Likewise, bullets, daggers, and back slashes are rarely fatal. And dead copy is often livelier than it sounds.

Importance and Role of Copyediting:

When one is in a creative state, rarely can one also be in a detail state. Thus, mistakes in correct grammar, spelling and continuity of all details may happen. Copyediting process involves reading the content for English grammar, spelling, story, flow and understandability. It also involves checking consistency in visual design, testing links, and ensuring accurate reading.

Steps involved in Copyediting:

• Looking the content from the reader’s point of view:
• Looking for answers:
• Reading for grammar, spelling and style:
• Checking punctuation and use of quotation marks:
• Making sure names are spelled correctly:
• Create consistent text formatting:
• Watch out for arbitrary shifts in color:

Color can enhance comprehension or it can make the document look confusing or cluttered. If link colors are specified in your HTML document, check that these colors are applied consistently throughout the work. Do all links not yet followed appear in the same color? Do all links previously visited appear in the same color? Do different link colors indicate different types of links – and this is made clear to the reader.
