Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign
Adobe InDesign is used for a ton of different projects in the marketing department. We use it to create web & print ads, cut sheets, flyers, posters, postcards, stickers, invitations, trade show graphics, etc. I use this program in conjunction with Photoshop and Illustrator. This specific program is used by the entire marketing department. We do more design in house, which cuts down on cost and control for timely projects.
- Ease of use. I took one class on this program and self-taught myself the rest of the way through. It's extremely user-friendly.
- Works well with other Adobe programs. These programs all work extremely well together and is easy to get the job done fast.
- I can design literally anything. Whether it's online or for print, this program is extremely flexible for any marketing professional.
- To view your project as a PDF is easy, however, sometimes if the Transparency Blend Space doesn't match the PDF output, the colors show up dull on the PDF. You just have to make sure that these are the same.
- Sometimes when you pick a color, it reverts back to a different (very similar color). You have to go back in and change it multiple times to ensure that the color you actually want stays the same.
- Overall, I'm very satisfied with the overall functionality of Adobe InDesign.
- Well, our company has saved tens of thousands by doing projects in house. To pay someone else to do it, going back and forth with them until you get the project just the way you want it is costly and takes a lot of time.
- My projects can be completed as fast as I need them to. Even that same day, I can edit a flyer I may be sending to a trade show, and print and send it there next day.
- By controlling how long a project takes, you are no longer paying employees to converse with the person designing it AND paying the employee at the same time. It's essentially paying two people to work on the same project when it can be completed by one individual.
I've used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. All of these programs work together in different ways. Photoshop you use to edit photos. Illustrator you use to draw or create something. You then upload these projects into InDesign to complete the design of the project. They all work very similarly and are created just about the same.
