More than the Sum of Its Parts

When does 2 + 2 = 39? When it's the new subscription deal for InDesign Magazine, of course. For a short time, our sister publication is offering a real deal: two full years of the magazine plus two Super Guides, which are stuffed with tips and tricks on using type and color in InDesign.
