BTW, my avatar was made in InDesign. It was one of my first projects in Desktop Publishing class when I started college. I obviously wouldn’t use this program to do this type of work, but doing it in InDesign taught me a lot about the program and its tools.

I really enjoyed this tut. I was searching for a Illustrator tutorial to create a flag and I came across this. I learned a few tricks that I will apply to the project I’m currently working on.

Everybody who is belittling this post should be ashamed of themselves. There are beginners who will learn a lot from this post.

As Mario D. said a few posts back,

“This tutorial is NOT about how to create a flag out of words. It is an example on how to curve text around a path in inDesign. This technique is quite useful for anybody that has ever used the program.”

Thanks Keith.

I am an expert in PS and make a living designing, but never use InDesign for anything. This tutorial was very helpful for me. Thanks!

I’m assuming many people missed the point of this tutorial. You need to look beyond the preview image.

Thank you for this tutorial Keith.

I’m sure that most readers make an impression of the tutorials based on the screenshots, without even reading a word.

Yes, many

It is amazing how people can be overly judgmental about FREE stuff. And maybe you should leave Tuts+ decide what is worth $150 to them.

There are online galleries for well polished final images. This is a tutorial site, not a design inspiration blog, so the accent should always be on technique, not on the final image. Making a nice final result makes the learning process more enjoyable, but as soon as someone explains a simple or even a good technique without worrying too much about the aesthetics, people reach conclusions like “envato is not what it used to be”.
