Seattle InDesign User Group

Those InDesign logo-colored things coming out of the ground are crocuses (it's been a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus). Many thanks go to the dedicated members who last time came up with topics for much of the rest of the year. This month was the purview of our members who focus on print production issues. I'm still assimilating the wish-list of topics, so we'll have a touch of improvisation at the meeting. So come ready to offer your solutions for the knotty issues we'll tackle (so I don't squirm too much). Those volunteers who either tried to contact me at the (recently demised) email address at the bottom of the announcement for last meeting, or who have not yet contacted me should do so. I'd like to make sure everyone is comfortable with their "duties". If you did write to that old address, accept my apologies; I was not blowing you off. I didn't realize that address was still in my user group profile. the address to use is slaskevitch@indesignusergroup.com. ========================= Agenda ========================= 6.30-6.40: Meet, Greet, & Eat 6.45-7.00: 15 minutes of Fame: Featured Member presentation March: David Moise, Seattle Central Community College (http://seattlecentral.org) 7.00-7.45: Focus Segment 1: Managing Placed Images
