WebStore and Adobe Present Free Adobe InDesign CS4 eSeminar

Thursday March 5, 2009 1:29 PM

Join Adobe Senior Solutions Engineer, Tim Plumer, on March 12, 2009, for the first in a series of eSeminars – specifically for University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, Springfield) students,
faculty, and staff – to be held the second Thursday of each month from 10-11am:

Session 1
March 12, 2009 - 10-11am
Adobe InDesign CS4
Register

Print publishing is undergoing a revolution, and that means you need flexibility to author not just for ink on paper but for anything. Adobe InDesign CS4 is more a platform for
authoring content than just a simple page-layout tool.

During this hour-long session, you will see how to:
•    Leverage your assets to better control the many parts of an InDesign project
•    Work with other Adobe and non-Adobe file types in your project
•    Automate many layout tasks to get your work done more efficiently
•    Spot and correct many problems that slows down the production of the work you are doing—especially when it comes to getting that work to output
•    Create different kinds of output—from print to web to just about anything

Get you on your way to a true multi-channel publishing workflow.

Register today at http://www.adobe-registration-edu.com/Illinois/.   

If you can’t attend live sessions, links to recorded sessions will be made available at http://webstore.illinois.edu/training.

Software at the
lowest possible price.

ABOUT US

Since its launch in September 2001, University of Illinois WebStore has become the primary software distribution source for students, faculty, and staff on all three U of I campuses — in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield. Offering over 150 software titles for purchase or download, we strive to provide the software you need at the lowest possible price.

To do this, we negotiate the best prices on site-licensed software and volume purchase contracts and assist in negotiations for departmental licenses and resource-sharing purchases by groups. We also work with ©e-academy, a software delivery and license management company, to automate and manage our products, allowing you to purchase and download conveniently over the Internet.

In Fiscal Year 2008, WebStore saved University departments, students, faculty, and staff over $12 million dollars—an average savings of $7 for every $1 of product sold.
