Contributor on InDesign Secrets
Anyone who loves InDesign in the world, will know of InDesign Secrets, a project started out of love for InDesign by Gurus David Blatner and Anne-Marie Concepcion. Both are super InDesign evangalists. So I’m super happy to announce that as of today I will be a contributing author on InDesign Secrets. You can now read the first blog-post I contributed: “My Previous Gem“. It reveals a little gem in InDesign CS5, that can make a big difference… Enjoy!

Vertical Type from Illustrator to InDesign
In my previous post I provided a solution for setting type vertically in InDesign. Illustrator in contrast to InDesign actually has a Vertical Type tool, and the close integration between the two applications means we can opt to set our type in Illustrator instead and bring it into InDesign as a graphic.

GREP it vertically in InDesign
“How do I set vertical type in InDesign?” was a question that landed in my email box today. In all honesty, setting vertical type in InDesign does require the opening of ‘the box of tricks’. I’m writing this tip in two parts. The first part (found below) will show you a pretty quick and dirty method you can apply just using InDesign. The second part will look at integration between InDesign and Illustrator.

Bridging that gap in InDesign CS5
How cool would it be if you can change the layout of a grid of images, and immediately see the result? It would definitely make designing a job much easier… As designers we want to see the changes we are making dynamically… InDesign CS5 bridges another gap designers have been encountering… with its new Gap Tool and Auto-Fit feature…
Let’s have a look at some of the new Gap Tool’s capabilities…

Celebrating Adobe Creative Suite 5
If you’ve ever seen one of those bouncy balls that just don’t stop bouncing… that’s me… today April 13, 2010… The official launch day for Creative Suite 5 in the Asia Pacific region.
This new release is truly amazing… it reduces design boundaries, helps you work faster and will most certainly be a critical facter in streamlining your workflows (ok, I know it… ‘workflow” … it’s a bit off-putting as a word… but wait till I show you some of what the updated apps can do!!! and you’ll know what I’m talking about).
To start of the new release celebration, let me take you through my most favourite application (InDesign) and most favourite new feature in InDesign: Spanning Columns.

Upset about overset text in InDesign?
You’ve worked hard on an InDesign layout, and are about to send a PDF to the editor for review, and this Warning dialog appears, telling you there is overset text on page 1. Whether there are 1, 2, 3 or more overset text frames on the page in question doesn’t matter to this warning dialog.

Moving Adobe software…
It’s something we all do… moving our Adobe software licenses around from one computer to another, and if you’re lucky enough the reason for the move would be the arrival of a faster, shinier, new computer. This post will hopefully provide you with some tips and tricks on “what to do” when you want to move your software from one computer to another…
Moving?
If you’ve ever moved house, you might have experienced that moving involves a little more than just repositioning your belongings from one location to another… In fact you might even go through the contents of your pantry or cupboards and decide there are things you would rather not move. Over the period of time that you’ve worked with your Adobe applications on your soon to be ‘old’ computer you have likely collected “additionals”, some of which you might want to keep.

A little mad with excitement…
As some of you might have noticed over the past days, I’ve been doing some house-cleaning in a virtual sense over this wonderful Easter break. This hasn’t been without a reason. Easter for me this year marks the start of something new and fresh.
The creative, print and publishing industries are bubbling with excitement. A whirlwind is blowing across the publishing industry as we speak, and publishers are deciding which electronic reading devices to support, what formats to build and how to convert their current print-publications to electronic format.
