Hands-On Workshop with Nigel French

Building a great magazine layout can be a time-consuming and difficult process, and can involve working with a number of applications and perhaps a group of designers to achieve a satisfactory result. In Designing a Magazine Layout: Hands-On Workshop, graphic designer and Adobe Certified Instructor Nigel French teaches effective design and production techniques using InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Bridge to create dynamic magazine layouts. He establishes an efficient workflow using multiple programs, examines the aesthetics of integrating text with images, and teaches best practices for outputting the final document. Exercise files accompany the course.

Format: RAR archive of ISO disk image. Use PowerISO/MagicISO to mount image or burn image to disk. All videos in QuickTime .mov format. Can be played with VLC, too. No good reason for the distribution of this content on a disk image, really. You can copy the folders of video files from the disk image to a directory on your hard drive -- no software or GUI included.
