Haven't posted in awhile. Thanks for checking in.
Since last time Quark XPress released an update, 9.3. The main feature is the ability to export a file to Kindle's MOBI format. If you are a Quark 9 user you will want to install and use the update.
To get the benefit of the update you'll also need to install KindleGen available here. Quark will prompt you to do so if you don't already have it. KindleGen will download and install the Kindle Previewer. This tool will help you ensure text and graphics appear properly.
Recently I saw a tip from the Before and After website. The video discussed the technique of using an oversize image for maximum impact. By the way, John McWade provides a great service to novice and established designers with his videos and PDFs.
For fun I developed some banner designs based on a variation of the principle.
Hope your creative juices have been stimulated a bit!
