5 stars (If You Can't Use Quark You're A Novice) - I learned how to effectively use Quark in the first 2 weeks of my college Prepress class, and anybody in the design world knows that if you can't use it you're a novice. It's itelligent, straight forward and an essential program for any graphic designer to master. All the complaints about this program are the result of non professionals who are either unwilling or unable to learn how to use it properly. "In Design" - what a joke. I love Adobe products, but let's get serious. If you can't use Quark, you might as well start applying for a job designing the Church Newsletter, because you can't get a top level design position without knowing this program. If you are studying to be a designer - trust me... learn it, know it, love it!
1 stars (not acceptable) - I thought I purchased 5.0 but it's quarkxpress 6.0 passport. I cannot set it up to do the documents right. I cannot do pdf files. they come out with quarkxpress demo on every page. I really needed this software for my business and I feel that I have been ripped off.
5 stars (Love it and always will!!) - Working for a large commercial printer of books and magazines, I gasp everytime someone sends us a book in anything other than Quark. On the Mac and especially on the PC, you can't beat it for ease of use, design functions and "RIPablity" to our high end image setters. Quark 5 rocks!! |
