Lots o’ Changes
My writing has been hampered lately by a busy schedule, traveling and just plain laziness!
This weekend I poured over some InDesign tutorials and I have to say, I’m excited about switching over. We’ve always been hard core Quark fanatics but they’ve gotten so expensive and full of themselves that we figured this summer would be a good time to make the change. After all, we have all the apps, all we have to do is use them.
My first attempt was to redo our classified section. I have to say, I’m loving me some InDesign! Not only was it easy to do but it just looks better. It reminds me of a cross between Quark and Photoshop. Anyway, everything with that went off without a hitch so, hopefully, come July or so, we’ll be able to switch everyone else over.
I know we’re a bit behind the times in switching but better late than never and I can not see us spending any more money on a Quark upgrade.
We don’t have CS3 yet but I feel sure that once everyone learns CS2, we’ll be upgrading.
We also have new faces at our office. Brian left this past week to take a job up north with a daily paper and one of our ad reps is leaving June 8th to work in an attorney’s office out of town. She’s actually moving. We’ll have a new reporter starting in two weeks and from what Cathy says, he’s fabulous! Plus our new ad rep started today. There will also be a new face in my department just as soon as i can find a talented graphics artist to take Analisa’s place. She just graduated high school and will be going off to college in August.
Lots of changes going on at the ole work place but they’re changes for the good and that’s always a blessing.
