Inhaltsangabe

A knowledge of Styles is essential for InDesign users who need to improve their workflow, eliminate repetitive tasks, and produce more efficient and consistent work. InDesign Styles have evolved to become the core of the application when it comes to automating text, object and table formatting. Styles also reach out to influence and enable dozens of other features from small scale features like Bulleted and Numbered Lists all the way through cross-media export to XHTML. A true understanding of the far-reaching potential of styles can transform how design and production professionals approach and accomplish every project, small or large. Adopting a style-centric workflow can reduce tasks that would take days to mere hours, and tasks that would take hours to minutes or even seconds. In the only book exclusively focused on Styles, Adobe InDesign CS4 Styles, takes a detailed, step-by-step look at the creation and implementation of styles, and then provides a big-picture perspective for combining styles with other features for increased efficiency, accuracy and flexibility.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Tap into the far-reaching potential of InDesign styles―from simple drop cap formatting to cross-media export to XHTML. Styles have the power to transform how design and production professionals approach and accomplish any project. Adopting a style-centric workflow can reduce tasks that would normally take days to mere hours, and tasks that would take hours to minutes or even seconds. Less time spent on repetitive tasks means more time for creating your best work.

This book explores every InDesign style to reveal its full potential. Throughout each chapter, you’ll pick up many tips and best practices gleaned from real-world experience. Two bonus chapters, “Stroke Styles” and “Project Planning with Styles in Mind” are available for download.

For “figure it out as I go” designers, embracing styles still allow you to work intuitively on the page. And this guide helps break preconceptions and bad habits transferred from less powerful page layout applications that keep new InDesign users from working in far more satisfying and productive ways.

Where InDesign is concerned, styles truly do equal substance.
