Appendix E. Colophon
This book was written on a 13-inch MacBook Air that remained attached to David Pogue like an appendage. It was edited from the Yosemite edition of the same book and OS X El Capitan: The Missing Manual.
The book’s screen illustrations were captured with Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com), edited in Adobe Photoshop (www.adobe.com), and overlaid with labels, lines, and circles in Adobe Illustrator.
The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign CC. The fonts include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the symbols (
, ⌘, 
, and so on), Phil Simpson and Julie Van Keuren designed several custom fonts using FontLab Fontographer and TypeTool 3.
The book was then exported as Adobe Acrobat PDF files for final transmission to the printing plant.
