QuarkXPress 7 - Job Jackets and Job Tickets

Desktop Computer Software

XChange Training UK
Training Provided by XChange Training UK QuarkXPress 7 isn't just a revolutionary upgrade for designers; it contains a vast range of new features for studio and production managers and service providers as well. Among the most exciting of key areas where QuarkXPress has changed is the addition of Job Jackets. In this one-day course we'll examine in detail how to exploit this powerful new addition to the leading DTP package. Job Jackets allow workgroups to maintain consistency between related projects. In a nutshell, they provide a designer with a set of digital guidelines that ensure a QuarkXPress project is created according to the specifications of the final output device that it is destined for, the logic being that it's better to stop errors from happening in the first place than to correct them after they've happened. Projects can now be synchronised with dynamically update-able design specifications that include everything from style sheets and colours to page size and count. If you're organising a workflow where several people work at once on a single or related projects, and you want to avoid the miscommunication, ambiguous specifications and mistakes that often occur at the prepress stage, then learning about QuarkXPress 7 Job Jackets will dramatically improve your workflow. In this one-day course, you'll learn about the key area of Job Jacket creation and implementation: Job Jackets, Output Styles, Job Tickets and Project Linking as well as on-the-go job evaluation and job jacket/ticket modification. By the end of this course you will be able to use the full range of QuarkXPress 7's new tools to produce a more reliable and streamlined workflow than ever before.
