QuarkXPress is a key application to learn, since it is an industry-wide standard application in the print and design world. Quark is used as a layout and typographical tool to assemble elements for use in magazine, newspaper, brochure and other types of production. Damienne FitzPatrick has years of experience training companies in the use of this software. In this 8-hour tutorial, she takes you from the basics of QuarkXPress 3.3, like the Tool Palette and Items, to more complicated segments such as laying out a document and master pages and templates.
