Reno, NV., June 29, 2009
-- Our
main topic for this meeting will be: Type tricks and special
effects in InDesign.
Everybody who made it to our last
meeting left happy. Maybe it was the good company (us), or
the good company (NAI Alliance) who served as host for the
first meeting of the 2009 Reno User Group Summer Series.
Let’s do in again. For your convenience, will be doing a mid-day
session (11:30am to 1pm). Bring your lunch and see some innovative
and powerful InDesign demonstrations. If you are new to InDesign
or to the User Group, this is the ideal way to get started,
and get out of the office for a while.
ABOUT NRCS The Natural Resources
Conservation Service is the largest private land conservation
agency of the federal government. For almost 75 years, they
have been the conservation experts, helping private landowners,
communities, groups, land users, and others conserve and solve
problems relating to natural resources on agricultural land.
They work with Nevada's Conservation Districts and other partners
to provide free conservation assistance to keep our environment
healthy and productive for future generations.
======== Agenda =======
STAGE 1: Q&A: After you register,
you can e-mail a question beforehand, and we will do our best
to present a solution that might benefit the entire group
at the meeting, time permitting. Jim Cooper reno@indesignusergroup.com
STAGE 2: Something new for everyone...
Type tricks and special effects: Learn the 90-second rule
and how it can streamline your production cycle.
STAGE 3: The main event... Liquefy
your content and "flow" it into flexible templates. Avoid
the common headaches during the edit cycle. We have some special
tips for newsletters, magazines, and manuals. We are also
continuing our how-to segments for incorporating interactive
features in PDFs. We encourage our audience to opt for "green"
communication, and read our information on screen. You will
get additional "background" to begin today. SO... Why hang
around after hours when you can take a long lunch in mid-day
to improve your InDesign knowledge benefit from the most economical
training experience that you will find?
