Designing for Designers with QuarkXPress 7
Design Week - the must-have weekly UK design magazine - pushes the boundaries with QuarkXPress 7
Design Week is one of the UK’s leading design titles published by Centaur Communications, the UK's largest independent business publishing and information companies. Design Week is a hugely influential brand within the design community which is read by over 35,000 design professionals around the world. For twenty years it has been reporting on every aspect of the design industry, making it the must-have weekly UK design magazine.
Design Week is designed and produced entirely in QuarkXPress® 7, following a recent successful migration, and this process is currently being replicated across Centaur’s entire portfolio of thirty titles. With a readership that spans all disciplines of commercial design from retail to product, packaging to graphic, interior to exhibitions, and digital to web, it is essential that Design Week appeals to this highly skilled and well informed audience.
“As a design title, it is critical that we use the best design tools available. Our readers are designers and creative and expect the highest standards in design. So the actual look and feel of the magazine is paramount. The rich features in QuarkXPress 7, in particular the enhanced drop shadows and transparency, give our designers more creative freedom as the improved graphical capabilities enables them to create a superior design quality magazine,” said Declan Gough, Publisher at Design Week.
Gough added. “As a design publication, designers look to us not only as a source of news and information but also for design inspiration. With the new features in QuarkXPress 7 we are able to push the boundaries and raise the quality of design through the magazine.”
