Editor's Corner

Invaluable InDesign Resource

CreativePro.com has a sister publication, InDesign Magazine, which comes out every two months. We're pretty proud of the latest issue, #44. It includes everything from an 11-page feature on interesting folds for print projects, to a 4-page how-to with quick ways to align type more elegantly. Another piece takes you through all the steps of adding video to InDesign files and outputting the results as a PDF, SWF, or iPad app. And that's just 3 of the 9 articles!

If you're a subscriber, you received the download information last week. If you're not a subscriber, now is a great time to join. Just go to http://bit.ly/magspecial and enter the coupon code FRIEND during checkout for $20 off a one-year subscription.
