Keep color consistency in your yearbook sections, even when you have several designers, and even if not all of the colors are chosen but work needs to start as deadlines loom. Use the Swatches palette (Window > Swatches) to assign hue-independent page elements. By naming swatches based upon what they do for the design instead of color name, they are more easily managed.

You have heard Adobe InDesign is great and have read about the neat features. But what does all that mean for you? You need to see what this software does to understand how it fits into your yearbook of today and the ones in the future. So here is our two-dimensional effort to show some of the features of InDesign that are either unique or offer more control than PageMaker does.
Learning new skills takes time, patience and practice. And so it is with Adobe InDesign. For anyone who has used design software before, just sit down, work with it, and soon it will become second nature.
Adobe released its first version of InDesign in 1999. Since then, hundreds of Walsworth customers have jumped in and started using this relatively young software program to create their yearbooks. As InDesign matured, so has Walsworth’s support. And our numerous plug-ins, training materials and informational pieces have helped our customers make the switch as easy as possible.
Ask virtually any advisers who have switched to Adobe InDesign, and they will say if you have not, and you can, do it.
How do you make the latest, greatest page design software even better? Just ask the designers of Adobe InDesign 2.0. The long-awaited upgrade includes features the yearbook world can really get excited about.
