It’s a beautiful day, and I’m struggling with the desire to go out and enjoy it vs. learn more about InDesign. What should I do? Both, of course! Grab your mobile device, sit out on a blanket, and read (or watch) these links:
- Want to give someone read-only access to some assets, such as images, a library, or other files? If you’re a CC member, you can just use Send Link.
- Speaking of assets… this is an interesting article by Adobe’s Arno Gourdol which talks about the difference between assets and files, and how CreativeSync can help “save your assets.”
- Haven’t looked at Adobe Comp for the iPad? It’s a terrific companion to InDesign, which you can see here in this video.
- Kelly Vaughn is back with a look at how to make a checkerboard gingham pattern!
- You use bullets, right? (Everyone does!) So learn how to use them right.
- Considering going to the Frankfurt Book Fair? Even if you’re not, you should check out this 32-page magazine they produced with information about global publishing trends.
- Are your InDesign documents often translated into other languages? Fill out this short survey to help Redokun make their InDesign-related translation tool better.
- One of my favorite new features in InDesign CC 2015 is paragraph shading. You can learn more about it here.
- These famous sayings have been changed to reflect our design sensibilities. Very funny!
- Did you know Typekit has added a bunch of amazing fonts to their list for CC members? Wow.
- Did you know that Amazon.com “now sells more than a third of new print books, a level no single bookseller has ever reached before, and… has an estimated two-thirds of e-book sales.” Read the NY Times article here.
- I’m getting increasingly impressed with the new Publish Online feature in CC 2015… here’s a little tutorial from Monica at Tech4Pub.
- While TouchPress doesn’t appear to use InDesign (they have their own system for publishing iPad apps), I like Theodore Gray’s attitude and philosophy of envisioning what people will want rather than just giving them what they ask for.
- Ever curious about the Conditional Text feature in InDesign? Kelly Vaughn did a terrific 45 minute presentation about this awesome feature and great tips for using it, caught on video here! (Flash player required for playback.)
Enjoy!
