8. Wonderful Color

Such a world of wonder we live in today, where color can be printed so inexpensively and easily! I won’t bore you with stories of how tremendously expensive it was to print color just a few short years ago, and how tremendously tedious it was to design and produce the paste-up to go to press. Suffice it to say that just stopping by a site like PrintPlace.com makes me itch to create something! A thousand rack cards printed in full color on both sides for $75, and all I do is upload the file? Unbelievable! And I can create hundreds of full-color handouts for my workshops right here on my color laser printer? I’m in heaven!

InDesign makes the process of designing in color so satisfying. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
