This book is intended for designers who are serious about their craft. It is ideal for students who desire an approach to instruction that focuses on software proficiency. It is an excellent choice for instructors and industry trainers who have been looking for a comprehensive textbook that includes handouts, projects, syllabi, and resources. What differentiates Exploring Adobe InDesign CS5 from a reference book, is that it focuses on those InDesign features that are used 90% of the time. This concentrated approach, and mastery of design and production techniques presented in the text, leave the designer well prepared for using InDesign effectively in production settings.

Typesetting is an art, and typography is emphasized throughout Exploring Adobe InDesign CS5. The power of Adobe InDesign, when combined with the knowledge of typography, will give designers the ability to create documents with visual impact.
