Reno InDesign User Group

By popular demand, we are alternating our daytime and evening User Group meetings to accommodate diverse responsibilities. Join us once again at the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service offices for InDesign Mojo - Part II.

Another reason you will not want to miss our meeting!

Melissa Rhodes from Photolibrary (www.photolibrary.com) will lead off our meeting with an brief overview of her company's services and how they plan to serve us in the future. The Photolibrary Group represents the world’s leading stock brands and the finest photographers from around the world, bringing memorable content to the creative communities in Europe, America, Asia, and the Pacific. They provide customers with access to over 6 million images and hundreds of hours of footage and full composition music.

Also, Melissa and Photolibrary will provide a T-shirt or two for our raffle and update us on their generous discount for InDUG members. Thanks, in advance, to our new sponsor.

There will still be plenty of time for our scheduled mid-day agenda.

Jim Cooper will be presenting collaborative publishing tips from some of his most recent workshops: "The Journalist’s Guide to InDesign" / "Creating Productive InCopy Environments" / "High-Impact PDFs"

Bring your lunch and see some innovative and powerful InDesign demonstrations.
This will be an ideal meeting for authors, editors and catalog publishers to gain some insight on green publishing techniques.

If you are new to InDesign or to the User Group, this is the great way to get started. Get out of the office for a while and benefit from the most economical training experience that you will find.
