Meeting Summary

Designing for Print vs. Web
Tue, Nov 11th, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Cleveland Institute of Art
Event Details

Mari Hulick, Cleveland InDesign User Group Co-Chapter Representative, led a discussion and demonstrated how to design for print vs. design for web. Now that Adobe InDesign CS4 allows us to export directly to Flash, and CS3 and CS4 both allow us to export to Dreamweaver, it is important to know how to approach your design right from the start. Mari discussed tips on how to design in Adobe InDesign for both print and web. She also showed web sites that reflect good design vs. bad design.

April Clark, Cleveland InDesign User Group Co-Chapter Representative, showed how to register for a free ConnectNow account on http://www.acrobat.com. April showed how to use the ConnectNow account to collaborate and communicate with clients or colleagues immediately. This free Adobe service allows users to share their screen with up to two others at any time.
