Jim Conway speaks to NYC InDesign User Group

On April 24, 2008 C2 co-owner Jim Conway traveled to New York City to present to the InDesign User Group at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Jim gave an introduction to web design for print designers. By showing direct parallels between designing for print and designing for the web, Jim helped demystify web layout for many in the group.

Toward the end of his presentation, he paid special attention to the current problems of migrating an InDesign layout directly to the web using Adobe’s existing cross-media technology.

Fritz wins InDesign contest

Congratulations goes out to C2 Instructor James Fritz, who recently won the InDesignSecrets.com Quizzler contest for “How many ways can you add a CMYK Swatch to your document without opening up the Swatch’s panel itself?”

Fritz submitted over 200 ways to import a swatch (76 were accepted) which brought ribbing from hosts Anne-Marie Concepcion and David Blatner.
