Adobe InDesign CS

Verdict

New work environment, text handling, web repurposing, multimedia output and commercial print controls, make InDesign the professional designer's choice.

Review Date: 17 Nov 2003

Price when reviewed: (£716 inc VAT), upgrade £139 (£163 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

It's incredible power and typical of InDesign CS. So how does InDesign CS compare to QuarkXPress 6? It's not a foregone conclusion as institutional publishers will be reluctant to give up their existing investment in Quark, and InDesign's design-intensive approach certainly won't suit everyone. However for the vast majority of users there's really no question: InDesign CS is in a different league when it comes to end quality, design power and now production efficiency. And when you consider that you can buy the Standard Edition of the Creative Suite including both Photoshop and Illustrator for less than the price of QuarkXPress on its own, the comparison becomes embarrassing. If this was a fight the referee would have to step in.
