It’s interesting to me that the fall (or spring, in the southern hemisphere) is the beginning of the new year for students, teachers, and the Jewish people. A sense of learning and new options is in the air! And a new version of InDesign (and other Create Cloud apps) is about to drop in our laps… time to take a deep breath and dive in!
- Important information for anyone using older versions of Windows or Mac OS software about Adobe dropping support for older software
- A really cool lineup of alphabet characters that got cut from modern English. (Though some still show up in other languages!)
- If you haven’t seen this sneak peek of Content Aware Fit in InDesign CC 2019, you should!
- Ilene Strizver always has good insights into fonts and type… here’s Five Typesetting Mysteries Solved.
- John McWade has a new title on LinkedIn Learning (previously Lynda.com) on Designing a Magazine Cover — part of a longer series he’s doing on designing a full magazine.
- I love reading Seth Godin’s thoughts on print and printers!
- Want to learn how to make endnotes in InDesign CC? Here’s a great little tutorial from Adobe!
- Need imposition software? Meadows Software is offering their Productivity Suite (which includes imposition and other tools) for free.
- ID-extras makes some of the most helpful commercial InDesign scripts. I love how Ariel posts updates on what kind of improvements they’re making.
- There’s a new version of Acrobat DC, and they’re really focusing on the process of comment-and-review! This goes hand-in-hand with another sneak peek they gave about InDesign CC 2019: the ability to import PDF comments, and even make the changes automatically!
- Can you draw? Yes you can! And October has been renamed… Inktober!
- Did you see that Adobe is canceling the ACI (Adobe Certified Instructor) and Certified Training Center programs?
- You know how much work we put into picking a great font and making it really readable? Turns out that illegible type may be better for actual memory recall!
Enjoy!
