Professional Design for Print
Professional designers look either to Quark Xpress or InDesign for their page composition (increasingly the latter), Photoshop for photographic work, and Illustrator for their graphic and illustrative work. Whereas the PDF format via Adobe Acrobat provides a stable production platform through which to faithfully produce work to universal standards. Our design for print courses cover an extensive range of topics and skills, from typographic control and logo colour, to full output that looks exactly as intended.
