A Full Day with an Expert for $100?!
Our sister publication, InDesign Magazine, is sponsoring a seminar series that's a crazy-good deal.
Mogo Media's InDesign Seminar Tour will hit seven cities this summer. At every location, the learning starts at 9 AM and doesn't end until 4:30. In that time, the speaker (depending on the city, that's David Blatner, Anne-Marie Concepción, or Sandee Cohen) covers a boatload of InDesign info: the top 10 tricks every InDesign user should know, layout techniques, a Q&A session where you can ask your very own burning questions, and way more.
As part of your admission fee, you get a one-year subscription to InDesign Magazine (normally $59) and a 30-day trial to lynda.com (normally $25). The seminar costs $125, which ain't bad, but if you sign up at least 30 days in advance, it's only $100.
While I'm math-challenged, even I can figure out that 100 minus 59 minus 25 equals a damn good deal. And I bet you could use one of those right about now.
For more seminar details, including places and dates, go to mogo-media.com.

Scanning Around With Gene: The Signpost Up Ahead
Before we had special typefaces and high-visibility vinyl, highway signs were a crude hodgepodge of yellow paint and small reflectors just waiting for standardization. Gene Gable scanned three sign catalogs from the 1920s and '30s.
