SERIES & AUTHOR VISION
Revealed Series Vision
The Revealed Series is your guide to
today’s hottest multimedia applications.
These comprehensive books teach the
skills behind the application, showing
you how to apply smart design princi-

ples to multimedia products such as
dynamic graphics, animation, Web
sites, software authoring tools, and digital
video. We feel that the Revealed Series
does just that—in a comprehensive yet
aesthetically pleasing format.
A team of design professionals
including multimedia instructors, stu-
dents, authors, and editors worked
together to create this series. We rec-
ognized the unique needs of the multi-
media market and created a series that
gives you comprehensive step-by-step
instructions and offers an in-depth
explanation of the “why” behind a skill,
all in a clear, visually-based layout.
It was our goal to create a book
that speaks directly to the multimedia
and design community—one of the
most rapidly growing computer fields
today. We feel that Adobe InDesign
CS2—Revealed does just that—with
sophisticated content and an instruc-
tive book design.
—The Revealed Series
Author’s Vision
I am thrilled to have written this book
on Adobe InDesign CS2. For me,
InDesign is something of a destination
in what has become a long and fasci-

nating journey through the world of
computer graphics.
The first software package I ever
used was Adobe Illustrator ’88. Not
everybody remembers that Adobe first
presented Illustrator as both a drawing
package and a layout package. Users
didn’t see it quite that way, despite the
prominence of Illustrator and
Photoshop. Enter Adobe InDesign.
InDesign has so many great features—
enough to fill up this whole book, in
fact. The most important feature is that
it interfaces so well with Photoshop
and Illustrator. Finally! Produce your
entire project—illustration, imagery,
and layout—without ever leaving the
world of Adobe. That’s InDesign CS2—
the third member of the Adobe trinity.
InDesign was a long time coming, but
it was worth the wait.
My most special thanks go to
Barbara Clemens, my ukulele lady
from Oahu. Barbara and I were intro-
duced on this book, but we work
together like we’ve known each other
for years. For this project, I did the
writing, but Barbara is the one who
kept me on track (not an easy task)
and put it all together. The godmother

of this book is Jane Hosie-Bounar, the
Product Manager. Jane shepherded
this book through to completion with
her combination of patience, intelli-
gence, and clarity of vision. I also want
to acknowledge the QA manuscript
reviewers for their input: John Freitas,
Susan Whelan, and Marianne Snow.
Thanks also to Roz Schliske, of
Laramie County Community College,
who used Adobe InDesign CS—Design
Professional in her classroom and had
a number of helpful suggestions for
improving this edition.
Last but not least, this book is ded-
icated to my two dogs Blake and Rex.
Their movie star good looks made
them the perfect models for the many
photos you’ll see throughout the book.
Most times, at least one of them was
sleeping on my lap as I was writing.

PREFACE

What You’ll Do
A What You’ll Do figure begins every lesson. This figure gives
you an at-a-glance look at what you’ll do in the chapter,
either by showing you a page or pages from the current proj-
ect or a tool you’ll be using.

Comprehensive Conceptual Lessons
Before jumping into instructions, in-depth conceptual infor-
mation tells you “why” skills are applied. This book provides
the “how” and “why” through the use of professional examples.
Also included in the text are tips and sidebars to help you work
more efficiently and creatively, or to teach you a bit about the
history or design philosophy behind the skill you are using.
Introduction to Adobe InDesign CS2
Welcome to Adobe InDesign CS2—Revealed. This book offers
creative projects, concise instructions, and complete coverage
of basic to advanced InDesign skills, helping you to create
polished, professional-looking layouts. Use this book as you
learn InDesign, and then use it later as your own reference
guide.
This text is organized into twelve chapters. In these chapters,
you will explore the many options InDesign provides for creating
comprehensive layouts, including formatting text and body copy,
designing display headlines, setting up a document, working
with process and non-process colors, placing graphics from
Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, working with tabs and
tables, and preparing an InDesign layout for output. By the
end of the book, you’ll be able to create professional-looking
layouts that incorporate illustrations and bitmap graphics as
well as sophisticated presentations of text and typography.

Step-by-Step Instructions
This book combines in-depth conceptual information with
concise steps to help you learn InDesign CS2. Each set of
steps guides you through a lesson where you will create,

modify, or enhance an InDesign CS2 file. Step references to
large images and quick step summaries round out the les-
sons. You can download the Data Files for the steps at the fol-
lowing URL: www.course.com/Revealed/indesigncs2.
The figures in this book are provided to help you follow
the steps, and the callouts should help you locate icons,
buttons, and commands on the screen. When a figure points
out a color or a color change, you should use it to guide your
eye to the relevant location on your monitor screen.
Chapter Summaries
This book contains chapter summaries that highlight the
key tasks and terms that you learn in each chapter. You can
use the summaries as a quick refresher should you find you
need to review information you learned earlier in the book.
