This Week in InDesign Articles, Number 91
Looking for cool links about InDesign during this hot summer? You’ve come to the right place!
- How have Adobe products changed your life? Here’s how InDesign affected Scott Citron’s life for the better!
- I just got a copy of Photoshop CS6: The Missing Manual by Lesa Snider. I know Lesa (she even gave a great presentation at pepcon 2011 and you should definitely check out the book!
- You want to blow your mind? Check out the IndyFont script that lets you turn InDesign into a font creation tool (like Fotographer)! I’m going to write this up as an actual blog post before too long, but I have to let you know about it now.
- Need to make a book cover, complete with spine? You might want to use the HurryCover script from Indiscripts, now in public beta.
- I wrote a review about DocsFlow in the last issue of InDesign Magazine. The folks at Em Software took some of it and added their own commentary on their site.
- I know it’s weird, but some people don’t like InDesign. Or at least they don’t like certain aspects of it. Check out this one guy’s article called “Into the bowels of hell with InDesign.”
- There have been a number of excellent free videos released from lynda.com recently, including one in which Anne-Marie shows how you can uncover the best diacritical marks (accents) for special characters. Or this one where Mike Rankin shows how to make anything look “liquid” in InDesign:

- Curious about how Liquid Layout works in InDesign CS6? Here’s an excerpt from InDesign Magazine about it!
- I haven’t confirmed these color management anomalies, but it’s nice to see that there are folks out there banging away and trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
- I’m really pleased that Thomas Phinney made his goal of funding his Cristoforo font at kickstarter.
- And here’s another one just for fun: a modern fetishisation of the past called deckled edges. (I have to admit that I love deckled paper!) Thanks, Glenn!
Enjoy!
The link to the bowels of hell with InDesign goes to InDesign Magazine
Thanks Fred! Link fixed now.
As usual a great selection of links, however, here in the UK we would pay good money for a long hot summer rather than the long, cold and wet summer we’re suffering. So please try not to use the words long, hot and summer in the same sentence again this year.
