This manual provides comprehensive guidance for InDesign CS4, focusing on the powerful features of styles. It delves into the application of styles, from basic formatting like drop caps to advanced cross-media export capabilities. The book is designed to assist design and production professionals in optimizing their workflow, significantly reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks and allowing for greater creative output. It emphasizes how a style-centric approach can transform project execution, making complex tasks more manageable and efficient.
The content of this manual explores every aspect of InDesign styles, offering practical tips and best practices derived from extensive real-world experience. It includes bonus chapters on "Stroke Styles" and "Project Planning with Styles in Mind." The guide is structured to benefit both intuitive designers and those transitioning from less sophisticated layout applications, helping to break down preconceptions and foster more productive working methods. Ultimately, this resource demonstrates that mastering InDesign styles is fundamental to achieving substantial improvements in design and layout work.
Tap into the far-reaching potential of InDesign styles—from simple drop cap formatting to cross-media export to XHTML. Styles have the power to transform how design and production professionals approach and accomplish any project. Adopting a style-centric workflow can reduce tasks that would normally take days to mere hours, and tasks that would take hours to minutes or even seconds. Less time spent on repetitive tasks means more time for creating your best work.
This book explores every InDesign style to reveal its full potential. Throughout each chapter, you’ll pick up many tips and best practices gleaned from real-world experience. Two bonus chapters, “Stroke Styles” and “Project Planning with Styles in Mind” are available for download.
For “figure it out as I go” designers, embracing styles still allow you to work intuitively on the page. And this guide helps break preconceptions and bad habits transferred from less powerful page layout applications that keep new InDesign users from working in far more satisfying and productive ways.
Where InDesign is concerned, styles truly do equal substance.
