Quark vs. InDesign - The authority on the wars on desktop publishing giants.
QuarkXPress 6 vs. InDesign CS - Taking Sides With the release of InDesign CS, Adobe applies more pressure on users of QuarkXPress to decide whether to stick their old standby or switch to the new upstart. What to do? Page-layout expert David Blatner states his opinion.
Apple: Quark vs. InDesign - Could we please get a clear answer to the Quark vs. InDesign question? It would make my life a whole lot easier.
MacRumors: Mac Vs. InDesign - I used to use Quark 4 at work and got pretty used to it. It was nice and clean and simple. I'm now having to learn Indesign CS because I can't afford Quark 6. I've only just started with InDesign and I don't like it much yet. My question is to anyone who has made the switch... Will I come to like InDesign eventually?
Choosing between QuarkXPress and Adobe's InDesign - Both of these programs are powerful and professional software. Some designers and printers prefer to work with one, some with the other. Here are some comments local designers and printers have about each program; you may want to consider these opinions when deciding which one to choose.
Greatest Post On Quark vs. InDesign Ever - Here is another discussion begun about Quark in the Graphic Design Resource Group. It was in response to someone expressing surprise at the overwhelming vehemence of Quark-using respondants on my Quark vs. InDesign site.
Quark vs. InDesign Again - A client emailed us today, letting us know that they were switching to OS X and were considering switching to InDesign (from Quark). They’re a large company, so it wouldn’t be an immediate transition, but they were kind enough to ask us contractors what our opinion was. Nice!
WebmasterWorld - Quark Vs. InDesign - Our publisher has retired, and the president of the corporation who owns us has much to say all-of-a-sudden since our publisher’s departure. One of his first questions was “What layout program are you using?” (the reply in my head was “what does it matter if we’re profitable?”) My reply was honest ... “indesign”.
InDesign vs. Quark: The Battle for Domination - Adobe Systems Inc.'s professional page layout application InDesign has been putting an increasing amount of pressure on the current market leader QuarkXPress. The pressure from Adobe hasn't swayed Quark Inc.'s resolve to release an OS X version on its own timetable and even with Adobe's gains, one analyst still thinks it's Quark's battle to lose. An early lead for InDesign on OS X
Quark vs. InDesign - The Rematch Folio - The Red Sox vs. the Yankees, Batman vs. the Penguin - the best rivalries can produce years of controversy and entertainment. In the magazine business it's QuarkXPress vs. Adobe InDesign.
QuarkXpress 7 vs. InDesign - Ars Techinca recently reviewed QuarkXPress 7, comparing it with Adobe CS2. This is an in-depth look at typographic and layout features (as opposed to workflow integration or import/export capabilities).
Quark vs. InDesign - The battles have been fought. Paragraphs have been destroyed. Entire documents slaughtered. What for? To test the skills of both QuarkXpress and InDesign.
QuarkXPress vs InDesign - Which is Better? - For the designers out there, which do you prefer? Also, do you know of a cheap alternative to buying them? I am a student but I didn't see student discounts on their websites...
QuarkXpress Vs. InDesign - I am about to enroll in some desktop publishing courses and was wondering which is better to learn QuarkXPress OR InDesign? I am not aspiring to be a graphics designer but would love to learn enough to be successful at a marketing coordinator role.
QuarkXPress vs. InDesign: The Great Debate - When Aldus PageMaker and QuarkXPress stopped duking it out and Quark began its reign supreme. Oh, the exciting feature wars we had back then. Every release brought new possibilities so fundamental that now we take them for granted: kerning, automatic hyphenation, style sheets, automatic drop caps, color separation--heck, even spelling checks.
QuarkXpress 5.0 vs. Adobe InDesign 2.0 -- Part 1 - With the official release of both QuarkXpress 5.0 and InDesign 2.0 now in the marketplace, it's time for a gloves-off review of the two giants of layout. Is it still a fair comparison? Has Quark blended the features of both Web design and print design applications successfully? Does Adobe's market dominance and InDesign's integration with other's in the design suite mean the end of QuarkXpress?
QuarkXPress 5.0 vs. InDesign 2.0 -- Part 2 - Last week we compared the navigation and usability of Quark XPress 5 with that of Adobe InDesign 2. We also took a brief look at Quark's Web design feature - a first foray for this product into a world which has changed dramatically since HTML was first called for in layout applications more than five years ago.
InDesign vs. Quark: 4 things - If you’ve ever sat near me while I’m working in Quark XPress, you know what a charming vocabulary I have. I !@#$% hate Quark. It’s a *$&%@! buggy piece of #*@&!. I may need all the glyphs in the Unicode set to type my distaste for it.
