Whether you’re working with technical drawings or mocking up packaging, this simple technique brings added dimension to your design. And any text is still completely editable!

    I was on stage with Keith when he presented this, and I can say that this was, for sure, the most jaw-dropping moment of CreativePro Week.

    WOW!!! So cool — thanks Keith!

  • Marc Dunker says:

    That’s pretty neat! I’ve done SSR isometric design in Illustrator and created actions for each rotation. It’s great to have it in InDesign as well!
