A Suitable Job For A QuarkXPress

A book running to more than 500 pages needs compelling examples, pretty pictures, a logically organized text, and a superior glossary and index to keep my attention. The author aces all standards in taking FUNDAMENTAL QUARKXPRESS 4 font, graphic design and text through launching, layout, printing and publishing. With 75 improved or new features, the program works best on a 256+-color Super VGA graphics adapter, particularly for font- and graphic-intensive long document and higher-resolution printings. Design and layout need graphics, pictures and text moving together, so Bezier draws professional illustration-type vector boxes and lines; original images reproduce best when prepared with about twice the resolution of the final printed document; and text shapes most legibly from plans etched the pre-digital way before opening the program. Bitmap formats have more color control than vector illustrations, but help is there with color correction, color management, and automated and manual trap options to be set before printing. As usual, Steven Bain shares an encyclopedia of knowledge, with the same concerns as Kelly Kordes Anton's USING QUARKXPRESS 4, Barbara Assadi et al's QUARKXPRESS 4 FOR DUMMIES, David Blatner's QUARKXPRESS 4 BOOK FOR MACINTOSH & WINDOWS, Galen Gruman's MACWORLD QUARKXPRESS 4 BIBLE, William Harrel's QUARKXPRESS 4 IN DEPTH, and Elaine Weinmann's QUARKXPRESS 4.
