SERIES & AUTHOR VISION

Revealed Series Vision

The Revealed Series is your guide to

today’s hottest multimedia applications.

These comprehensive books teach the

skills behind the application, showing

you how to apply smart design

princi-ples to multimedia products such as

dynamic graphics, animation, Web

sites, software authoring tools, and digital

video We feel that the Revealed Series

does just that—in a comprehensive yet

aesthetically pleasing format.

A team of design professionals

including multimedia instructors,

stu-dents, authors, and editors worked

together to create this series We

rec-ognized the unique needs of the

multi-media market and created a series that

gives you comprehensive step-by-step

instructions and offers an in-depth

explanation of the “why” behind a skill,

all in a clear, visually-based layout.

It was our goal to create a book

that speaks directly to the multimedia

and design community—one of the

most rapidly growing computer fields

today We feel that Adobe InDesign

CS2—Revealed does just that—with

sophisticated content and an

instruc-tive book design.

—The Revealed Series

Author’s Vision

I am thrilled to have written this book

on Adobe InDesign CS2 For me, InDesign is something of a destination

in what has become a long and fasci-nating journey through the world of computer graphics

The first software package I ever used was Adobe Illustrator ’88 Not everybody remembers that Adobe first

presented Illustrator as both a drawing package and a layout package Users

didn’t see it quite that way, despite the prominence of Illustrator and Photoshop Enter Adobe InDesign.

InDesign has so many great features—

enough to fill up this whole book, in fact The most important feature is that

it interfaces so well with Photoshop and Illustrator Finally! Produce your entire project—illustration, imagery, and layout—without ever leaving the world of Adobe That’s InDesign CS2—

the third member of the Adobe trinity.

InDesign was a long time coming, but

it was worth the wait.

My most special thanks go to Barbara Clemens, my ukulele lady from Oahu Barbara and I were intro-duced on this book, but we work together like we’ve known each other

for years For this project, I did the writing, but Barbara is the one who kept me on track (not an easy task) and put it all together The godmother

of this book is Jane Hosie-Bounar, the Product Manager Jane shepherded this book through to completion with her combination of patience, intelli-gence, and clarity of vision I also want

to acknowledge the QA manuscript reviewers for their input: John Freitas, Susan Whelan, and Marianne Snow.

Thanks also to Roz Schliske, of Laramie County Community College,

who used Adobe InDesign CS—Design

Professional in her classroom and had

a number of helpful suggestions for improving this edition

Last but not least, this book is ded-icated to my two dogs Blake and Rex.

Their movie star good looks made them the perfect models for the many photos you’ll see throughout the book.

Most times, at least one of them was sleeping on my lap as I was writing.
