Well, I just spent the last week putting together a 64 page trade journal in InDesign for the fist time. Verdict? Adequate? Just about. Over fussy and fiddly? Definitely. Over-rated? Absolutely!
I produce a 64-page trade journal every month and I've finally decided to switch from XPress to InDesign. I spent a couple of days last week just messing about and found it can do all that XPress can do and a little more. It tends to be on the fussy and over-complicated side but I think it will be worth getting used to. Plus, nearly all my customers:eyes have switched so there's no choice really.
