Whether you're a seasoned pro with hundreds of projects under your belt or a new user just learning the ropes, a strong suite of templates provides the type of quick, intelligent solutions you need to navigate the real world of graphic design and production.
In short, The InDesign, QuarkXPress, and PageMaker Ideabooks get you back to making money--they free you to spend more of your time doing the important tasks and less of it re-inventing the wheel. Instead of spending 15 minutes to create a simple layout, you'll spend 15 seconds. For the complex stuff--books, newsletters, catalogs, reports--you'll save HOURS.
All the information elements are in position: placeholders for text and graphics (a great reminder of what to include); page sizes, folds, margins, columns, gutters, and guides are set; styles palettes are configured, ready for you to insert your text. Whether you use a template as-is or as a framework for your own design, the Ideabook helps you produce good-looking, marketing materials, better and faster than ever before.
What makes a great template?
1. A great template provides a detailed but flexible framework, not a rigid, "don't touch" layout.
2. A great template provides comprehensive style palettes so formatting headlines, subheads, and text is consistent and easy.
3. A great template includes all the fine print and details. All the informational parts and pieces, placeholders for illustrations and logos, and nice touches such as word counts that help you gauge how much text fits where.
4. A great template is accessible. A template is worthless if you can't find it fast. When you have 300-plus documents all cataloged and indexed in one place, you'll have what you need when you need it.
5. A great template makes designing more about design. A collection this large and comprehensive provides literally hundreds of hours of setup and formatting you need not repeat.
Two years in the making, the Ideabook represents literally thousands of hours of layout, design, and information planning that you need not repeat. In fact, it will pay for itself first time you use it.
The Ideabooks each include:
315 TEMPLATES ON A DUAL-FORMAT (Mac and Windows) CD-ROM: 725 actual document pages and 25 years of calendar designs (three variations--an additional 792 pages)
THE 276-PAGE IDEABOOK: The Ideabook covers much of what I've learned about design, production, and marketing in 25 years of practice. Chapters 1 and 2 include my "basics of project production," specifics such as choosing styles of clip art, and lots of tips on topics such as working with illustrators and photographers, choosing paper, working with commercial printers, and so on.

System requirements? There are none.
If you're using InDesign 2, 2.1, or CS, QuarkXPress 4.1, 5, 6, 6.1, or 6.5, or PageMaker 7 you already have everything you need. There's no program to install and nothing new to learn; you open the files just like the documents you create yourself. A complete, illustrated catalog of the templates and a comprehensive index helps you find exactly the layout you need when you need it.
