Meeting Summary

Event Details

With the New Year upon us, it was finally time to have the first meeting in Brisbane, and what a shocker! Not only did we manage to pack out Design College Australia (thanks for the understanding, to all who ended up on the tables), but we learnt a heap of really great tips and tricks from Iain Anderson.

With so many people on hand to hear his words of wisdom and doom (only for the printers!!!), Iain managed to wow the audience and show there is more to InDesign than meets the eye. So if you would love to remember all that Iain showed us about Justification, Grep, Scripts, and how to make those really funky stars and shapes (that will never print) please download the provided PDF.

If there are any comments or questions please catch up with Iain in any of the classes he teaches at Next Byte (in Charlotte St) or go to his blog (http://funwithstuff.com/therules/). Iain was also generous to allow us his Table Transposition script, which he spoke about that night; when you go look at his blog you can also download the script from there.

Thank You

Without the support of many great sponsors and presenters the Indesign User Group would not be able to have nights like this. So a huge thank you to Adobe, Aquent, Colourwise, Fuji Xerox, Design College Australia, Peachpit, O'Reillys', and InDesign Secrets. Also a big thank you to the following people: Karen & Tim, Iain, Martin & Michael, Lana & Clint, who have given their time to help make the night really fantastic.
