Brett Field of Quark Presents Quark XPress 7

Thursday, July 13, 2006
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Note that we are once again meeting in the UT College of Pharmacy Building

Join us Thursday, July 13 for an exciting presentation about the long anticipated and newly released QuarkXPress 7 by Brett Field, Account Manager for Quark. This presentation was originally scheduled for our June 8 meeting which had to be cancelled when our meeting space became unavailable at the last minute.

QuarkXPress is powerful design and page layout software with an intuitive, versatile interface that lets you combine superior typography with color and pictures to produce dynamic final output for print and Web delivery.

QuarkXPress is widely used by magazines, newspapers, advertising agencies and design firms, marketers, printers, corporate publishers, catalog houses, and book publishers.

Industry experts are calling QuarkXPress 7 one of Quark's most significant upgrades ever. With more than 160 new features and enhancements, QuarkXPress 7 cements Quark's tradition of innovation by enabling a new way of working that focuses on the layout, design, and production environments as a whole rather than as separate processes.

With new features ranging from transparency and Composition Zones to enhanced PDF creation and print output, QuarkXPress 7 combines design freedom, unparalleled collaboration, and support for multi-channel communication in a single software tool.

Brett Field

Brett Field has been working in the digital publishing arena since 1988 and has used QuarkXPress since 1994. He covers a 9-state area for Quark, taking care of customers and providing field support. Brett has a BS from Trinity University and an MBA from UT-Austin.

Quark is celebrating it's 25th anniversary in 2006. Founded in 1981 by Tim Gill, Quark originally published word processing software for the Apple II and Apple III computers.

Join us for a fun-filled meeting with fellow Macintosh users learning about this powerful new version of QuarkXPress 7!
