Adobe Systems’ innovation in the late 1999, Adobe InDesign, marks completion of a decade of existence in the market. A revolutionary product, InDesign was created as a successor to Adobe Pagemaker software which offered the publishing industry with unrivalled technology and features.
John Loiacono, senior vice president, Creative Solutions Business Unit at Adobe remarks in a prepared statement, “InDesign took on an entrenched competitor and won through innovation and customers who demanded more from their software. Now InDesign is seen as an essential tool for enabling publishers to deliver in print and build new businesses around digital publications.”
On this occasion Adobe promises that it would continue to lead the industry, revolutionizing how creative professionals design and produce publications. For InDesign, Adobe looks to add an array of features to the software that would allow the designers and production professionals to deliver page layouts beyond traditional print to online media and mobile devices, including eBook readers, smart phones and a new generation of tablet devices due later this year.
Adding more to the celebration of a decade of InDesign, Adobe is releasing a commemorative book titled “Page by Page: 10 Years of Designing with Adobe InDesign” that highlights the product’s evolution and features designers who have helped make InDesign a success. The PDF version of the book is available on Adobe.com and the limited edition print version will be available through Blurb in mid-April. Additionally, to mark the occasion, the company will be releasing 10 new InDesign tips and tricks video tutorials on Adobe TV. |
