Gabriel Powell, author of Instant InDesign and an Adobe Certified Instructor, will be introducing us to the world of database publishing. He'll begin by showing us how to use Data Merge, InDesign's built-in data-publishing solution. Then he'll present the amazing capabilities of EasyCatalog, a powerful plug-in that can automate the production of many different types of publications--from simple layouts to large catalogs. As the Training Director for Metafusion Training, Gabriel teaches InDesign, InCopy, and other applications to creative professionals throughout the United States and Western Europe. He is also the founder of the Portland InDesign User Group and the founder and chapter leader of the Amsterdam InDesign User Group in The Netherlands.
