InDesign Magazine Issue Covers All Things IDCS3

IDMagazine17The April/May issue of InDesign Magazine, which shipped yesterday, covers virtually all of InDesign CS3’s new features. Not only that, but many of its articles were written by InDesignSecrets contributors! Our very own Michael (“The InDesigner”) Murphy wrote a great feature article describing the big new features of CS3, and I followed that up with a second feature article on all the “little things” that make CS3 oh-so-nice.

Anne-Marie Concepción and Pariah Burke wrote a terrific piece on some of the sexy Photoshop-like transparency effects, and Sandee Cohen wrote an amazing piece on why you shouldn’t be scared of the new GREP find/change features. And, of course, the whole magazine was designed by our newest contributor Rufus Deuchler.
There’s also cool articles by Diane Burns (on the Pathfinder features you already have in CS1 and CS2), a nice write up of how one high school is laying out their yearbook in InDesign by our friend Russell Viers, and an interview of Chad Siegel (Senior Product Manager for InDesign CS3) by some random guy. (Okay, that was one of my articles, too.) Plus reviews, cool product news, and all kinds of other stuff.

But the best part is that InDesign Magazine (which is a PDF eMagazine) is still offering InDesignSecrets readers their special discount subscription deal!

I hope you enjoy the issue!

    I downloaded the latest InDesign Magazine the other day and agree it contains many terriific articles. This is a really great resource!

    I was surprised to see Terri project the release date for May… isn’t Adobe still saying “April”?

    Every time I click into an unassigned frame and it turns into a text frame, I start counting the minutes. Inquiring minds want to know!

    There’s no official release date except Spring 2007. It could come as early as tomorrow, or as late as end of May. I’d expect earlier rather than later.

    When I spoke to the sales folks at Adobe about my CS3 order, “they” stated that the release/ship/download date is April 27.

    They’re shipping them now (midnight, April 16); according to the Adobe web site and a press release I just received.

    Amazon still says “available for pre-order/shipping April 20;” maybe in the morning they will have updated their site.
