[QUOTE="louishen, post: 939000, member: 40142"] AS far as layout goes, for someone going in to graphic design professionally, then InDesign (or really Adobe Creative Suite) is the way to go. IMO, Quark Xpress is dying out slowly - but is still in use by many publishing houses. If you don't have the money then there is the open source Scribus, that will help you get to grips with a decent layout programme without spending any cash. As for what programs are acceptable to printers, then Indesign and Quark are the standards. That said, most printers accept hi resolution PDF, so Scribus would not present an impediment to getting your design printed professionally, if that's what you are eventually going to do. [/QUOTE]
