Adobe Indesign

Adobe InDesign is the tool of choice for creating high-quality print-ready documents. These days, nearly every magazine or high-end printed piece was created with InDesign. It requires an aptitude for design and a fluency with the nuanced vocabularies of typography and layout. And even if you have those skills, InDesign comes with a steep learning curve. You can do anything you dream up creatively, but first you must learn how.

All text becomes editable, every image becomes swappable, and authors can immediately begin editing the content.
