MacVoices #765 – Jay Nelson on the the Structure, History and Selection of Professional Graphics Programs

May 24, 2007 | Graphics/Photos, Print, Software

Jay NelsonIn the second of a two-part conversation, Jay Nelson of Design Tools Monthly elaborates on why it is increasingly important for a modern graphic designer to be fluent in both QuarkXPress and Adobe Creative Suite programs as well as several others. Jay talks about the history of both products, what makes them similar and why they are both important tools. Why a basic Macintosh tenant is both an asset and a hinderance in the world of professional graphics programs, why it is impossible to recommend one tool over another, and the programs Jay doesn’t find frustrating are all covered in this edition.
