I'm saying this just to say that I truly appreciated this tutorial. As an individual with an eye for graphics, I found this piece to be aesthetically pleasing. As a novice with only a limited amount of Photoshop and absolutely no knowledge of any other Adobe program (though I do own CS4 for PC and Mac), I know that there is a benefit to a tutorial like this. In the least, it gives me a starting point. Perhaps it's not one that is "correct" by the definitions and parameters set by Adobe, but rather than having nothing, it gives someone a product that looks professional. I thank you for sharing and I hope you continue to do so - because, if no one else is appreciative or learning anything, I can definitely say that i am.

I'll go one further. This tutorial is awful. Really awful. It should be titled "how not to work in print". And to the idiot who said "a graphic artist should use whatever tools they feel comfortable with." Shut up you amateur. You, like the author, and most of the people commenting, haven't got a clue what you're talking about... I wouldn’t worry Greet, I’ve read your comments and you’re totally correct.

Obviously there are ALWAYS better ways to improve quality or optimize the process, but the final result is there to prove that Collis did a good job with his technique. I really like the final brochure!then if anybody has some advice or tips and trcks to give is welcome!I'd really love to learn how to better use Indesign instead of photoshop!

I'm working away on this. We'll be adding more InDesign tuts to the site. I've spoken with a few authors, and I'll be contacting more. You may want to see this article for some resources on InDesign as well: "15 Great Resources for Learning Adobe InDesign" http://vector.tutsplus.com/articles/web-roundups/15-great-resources-for-learning-adobe-indesign I have a limited background with page layout software myself. I did do catalog work years ago in Quark, so I have some experience, but little done with InDesign and high end print work. So, I look forward to learning more about this myself, and working with some Pros. Feel free to submit ideas you have for tuts here http://vector.tutsplus.com/about/write-a-tutorial/ Thx.

I just make a habit of including them because usually small print jobs won't be imposed. This particular job was realizable in Photoshop, but almost everything I make in InDesign just wouldn't be doable in Photoshop because it lacks half the features I regularly use. For web- and multimedia design and photo editing on the other hand, I feel more comfortable in Photoshop, for the same reason (InDesign lacks other features that Photoshop offers specifically for web- and multimedia design and photo editing). So if webdesigners would all make their print jobs in Photoshop, they wouldn't even know the possibilities of InDesign, that's what I meant. Print and web are just two whole different worlds, not to be confused with one another, in my opinion. I usually set margins at a round value like 10 or 20 mm, depending on the job, or I don't use them at all (I have a borderless printer so I don't need a safety zone if I'm printing A4). I was just saying that it's pointless to leave the standard margins there if you're gonna ignore them anyway. :) Yes, you’re probably right about the printing marks.
