Digital Design using QuarkXPress 4

The authors approach the subject of teaching QuarkXPress from all the necessary directions. 

Digital Design using QuarkXPress 4 gives you the ability to fully understand QuarkXPress, while developing a knowledge of the rules of design and how computers can exploit them. Students with non-visual backgrounds can rapidly improve, producing worthy examples of pages that integrate text and image. Knowledge gives you choices.

Learning software enables you to lay out a page but not to design one. So this does not take the reader through a series of steps reproducing designed pages - that teaches you nothing. Instead, the authors provide an objective understanding of what makes your designs work.

This book addresses the fundamentals of traditional design and how it compares in the digital age. It attempts to bring these two processes together by analysing what was good practice before page make-up software and how it applies to working digitally.
