Adobe InDesign is primarily used by our branding and marketing functional areas including social impact. It allows us to create print ready publications for things like brochures, flyers, posters, magazines, and more.
  • Powerful capabilities for many print media formats
  • Team workflow via Creative Cloud
  • Handling large file sizes with high resolution photos
  • Steep learning curve
  • Occasional slow load time when opening
InDesign is ideal for when you need complete control of all aspects for printing including color, bleeds, slugs, I don’t, and margins for example. If you’re not worried about these types of things the product will still do the job but may be overkill.
  • Allows us to avoid expensive agency outsourcing
  • High quality pre-production error checking eliminates rework
  • Packaging makes time to prepare for printer much more efficient
If you use the Adobe Suite you must use InDesign. Quark will work as a good standalone product, but my experience was that there are more available users and support for InDesign. Quark is an inferior product.
There is so much online support for this product I’ve never had to call support for anything other than transferring user licenses. Plenty of Adobe videos, documentation, templates, and tutorials online.
  • Online training
  • in-person training
Attending Adobe MAX each year is extremely valuable.
