In the world of design, projects don't come with directions. The "recipe book" approach used by most software books does little to prepare designers for the demands of a highly competitive industry. Exploring InDesign CS3 takes a different approach. With an emphasis on typography and critical thinking, Exploring InDesign CS3 transforms the novice into a professional who is able to use the software while applying industry-standard design principles. In addition to using the new features of Adobe InDesign CS3, users learn to identify each project's challenges and to strategize the best production sequence. Chapters and projects are carefully organized to move learners from basic operations to creating complex documents. Each chapter builds upon the skills presented in the previous chapter. As in industry, the emphasis throughout is on technical accuracy and productivity.

Summary: Save your $$ and frustration
Comment: Admittedly I'm not a computer geek. However, I am conversant with most Microsoft and some Adobe programs. I purchased a copy of InDesign the other day and ordered a copy of this book to help me jump start use of the program. It's been quite a letdown. Exercises are difficult to follow, directions are omitted (apparently because they were covered in earlier chapters), and consequently I'm finding this to be a rather poor teaching tool for the novice. If you are at that position on the learning curve, I suggest you look for another reference. Frankly, the help tab on InDesign is frequently of more assistance.

Summary: Most helpful book!
Comment: This book is the best book if you want to learn InDesign CS3 thoroughly. Its written so anyone can learn! Its written by a smart woman who understands how students and at home learners need to learn. I love how the chapters are broken up and the projects provided are integrated well with the chapters. I found this text very helpful while learning Ms.Terry's course, I think this book is so well written because she's such a great teacher with so much experience and she knows what she's talking about. There are a lot of authors out there that write a book just to make money, but Ms.Terry wrote the book because she enjoys sharing her knowledge of the program and teaching others easy ways to use it. If you want an InDesign book that's easy to learn and written by an author that knows what she's talking about this is the best one to choose.

Summary: Exploring InDesign CS3
Comment: This book is an invaluable resource for all knowledge levels. Although it's meant for a classroom, there are a lot of very informative lessons that can help improve productivity. With all of Terry's real world knowledge and respect for printers and typography, your local printer will notice a difference in your files and thank you for a worry-free print job. Terry's style of writing is very easy to follow. Exploring InDesign CS3 is very memorable and I would recommend it to any designer that is looking to boost their knowledge of this wonderful Adobe software.

Summary: Excellent resource!
Comment: I had never used Adobe InDesign before I purchased this book. I found the book to be extremely helpful in my learning process for this program. It's an excellent learning resource! I plan on keeping this book as a reference for all of the InDesign functions that I've learned.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This book is very innovating for InDesign beginners, even users!
Comment: Their are a lot of horribly written software textbooks where it gets confusing and it's hard to read. This book is so clear and easy to understand that it unbeliveable that it's about InDesign! I give it five stars not only because the author is my teacher but because it deserves it!
