Erica Gamet quickly runs down how to style the different layouts, make editorial changes, and export to both print and digital versions.


Recolor Product Artwork in Photoshop

Lisa Carney shows off a technique to give you an easy way to create multiple color versions of products. Best of all, there’s no need to mask anything!


Add Grunge to Vector Artwork in Illustrator

Von Glitschka shows off a quick way to make vector art look a little less clean. He adds grunge using bitmapped artwork then converts it to vectors to create a more organic—and screenprinter-ready—design.


Flexible Paragraph Rules in PowerPoint

Nolan Haims shows off a quick tip on creating flexible and adjustable paragraph rules in PowerPoint. This rule can sit to the side, above, or below text, and can size and move with the text frame it’s associated with.

Introducing The InDesign + Accessibility Summit: A CreativePro Online Event

Join us November 19-20, 2020 for The InDesign + Accessibility Summit, the essential HOW-TO online event for InDesign professionals who need to master accessibility.

Ensuring your documents are accessible is not just a good idea: it’s the law. No matter what sector you work in — from government to legal, finance to health care, engineering to education — it’s critical that you understand how to make your documents accessible to people with visual impairments, mobility challenges, and other disabilities.

Inclusion and diversity are two of the most important themes in today’s culture, and building accessible documents is a key action you can take today to help. One in four people in the United States lives with some sort of disability — that’s over 60 million adults! You can make a difference by learning to make your documents accessible to more people.

Topics include:

  • What does it mean to be ADA compliant and follow Section 508 guidelines?
  • Understanding and implementing the 13 principles of accessibility
  • Building documents: Best practices for paragraph and character styles
  • Designing infographics and charts
  • Accessible branding
  • Creating long documents the right (and accessible) way
  • Becoming the accessibility expert in your company
  • Essential add-ons and utilities
  • The InDesign to Acrobat PDF workflow
  • Accessible (a11y) EPUB: It’s possible!
  • How accessibility actually improves your SEO and reach
