QuarkXPress training course

This QuarkXPress training course aims to enable delegates to produce a wide range of material including:

• product leaflets and price lists
• adverts and posters
• newsletters and interactive newsletters
• bid proposals etc

Making real documents

Learning how the software works is all very well but we show you the next stage too - how to create finished print-ready documents. We try to base your course on the actual documents you need to make. You can send PDF examples to us prior to your course.

We hold your course at your offices
and on dates that suit you

 

The course addresses these issues:

1. How do I use Quark to create a series of information brochures?

2. How can we create our own print ready adverts?

3. How do I create price lists?

Course Duration 2 Days

This course can also be tailored to one day if preferred but naturally cannot therefore cover all items in the course profile
