For different applications, for example.I am reminded of Hermann Zapf’s whimsical “horse by committee” picture story, in which an Art Director, laboring day and night, creates “a blue-blooded stallion with flashing eyes, proudly-arched neck, powerful legs … such a perfect animal that not even the ancient gods could have done better.” A conference is called to inspect the masterpiece, and the sales manager complains of the horse’s light gait, someone else criticizes its lack of vision, and the boss wants something fancier. If the cursor is located in the text box, the equation will be inserted in the cursor position as an In-line Graphic (ILG).QuarkXPress is a desktop publishing software (DTP) used by graphics designers, marketing, and corporate professionals. Choose 'New Equation' item to create an equation. Select MathMagic menu from the QuarkXPress main menu bar. Make a new document or open a document.
Minimal edits to the letter forms would be fine, and I’m completely happy to lose the red because it never had anything to say to me to begin with. The balance and simplicity of the text logo is what I want from a Quark rendered document. I say, don’t abandon the old logo of the tried and true version. I pray this truly is a new trend for Quark, developing for the needs of their users.BUT, while I think they want to communicate their new attitude with their new logo, it fails completely. I’ve been listening carefully to those trying out the pre-release of version 7 and I have to say, I want this upgrade. I’ve never upgraded because the supposed new improvements meant little to me when compared to the problems and complaints voiced by users of the upgrades.
There, I said it.But their newest logo/brand is neither reassuring or inspiring. But in many ways, for straight layout, QXP is more straightforward and intuitive, more elegant, and I love it. It’s compatibility within the Creative Suite is what makes that product.
They need everything to work, their branding an marketing need to work together like never before. I can’t imagine who they’re consulting externally, and I don’t know that their inhouse creatives able to see through the eyes of the users out here in the real world. The new brand doesn’t cut it. They’ve completely missed a part of their market who began with CS, never having used QXP.
It’s compatibility within the Creative Suite is what makes that product. From my reading comments of those who use both I know that InDesign is not a perfect product either. But, I won’t abandon Quark. Rushing to market with something that’s, well, quirky, would be a very bad mistake to repeat.“I’m not an InDesign user yet, but hope to be. They’re already late and there’s no undoing it.
And, there are soooo many features I miss from InDesign… I can’t even begin to list them.I’ve always said – IF you give InDesign and honest try and learn it well, you will see the light and wonder just how you ever got by with Quark.
