The QuarkXPress 8 Xperience Design Global Tour gives participants an opportunity to become familiar with the new, modern and intuitive QuarkXPress 8 interface and learn how to realize creative ideas directly for print, web and Flash. They will also learn how the new QuarkXPress 8 tools enable faster and more efficient work, including native Illustrator file import, enhanced image-editing, drawing and text tools, optical margin alignment, and individually configurable design grids.
“We received fantastic feedback from customers and the press about QuarkXPress 8 at Drupa in Düsseldorf. We want to share this enthusiasm with other users worldwide. They too should have an opportunity to discover the new and modern QuarkXPress and benefit from its enhanced design features,” says Terry Welty, Senior Vice President of Corporate Marketing at Quark. “A tour like this also offers participants a unique opportunity to meet other designers, creative professionals, industry experts and the local Quark team in person. It was clear from the outset that this would be a worldwide tour, because QuarkXPress 8 is Quark’s first version to launch simultaneously around the world and enable worldwide publishing in different languages.”
Creative professionals on the QuarkXPress 8 Xperience Design Global Tour will be able to experience QuarkXPress 8 on Mac OS X Leopard, described as the world’s most advanced operating system.
