Program: Bridging the Gap - InDesign CS4 and the Web

This month our guest speaker will be Aaron Downey, CEO of roundpeg, Inc. Aaron will teach you how InDesign is bridging the gap between print publishing and the ever changing web. We will be using this time to discuss the new features of InDesign CS4 and its possible uses outlined below: [list=1]

  • Demonstrate uses of InDesign for quick web mock ups and best practices for client output.
  • Learn how to use the features of CS4 to bring your document into Dreamweaver for the web.
  • Look at bringing in structured and un-structured content (XML) in to InDesign.

    We hope this will be an engaging experience and will get everybody thinking about how to use yet another product from Adobe to create successful project engagements.

    Member Showcase

    This is a brief segment of each OCMMA General Meeting to help you know the talent and skills of your fellow members. Often we have opportunities to hire or recommend people for projects. It's helpful to know who can do what.

    OCMMA Board of Directors Member, Scot Trodick, will be showing a website he completed recently. Scot designed and developed ProConsultancy, which develops websites for all business sizes. The site he will be highlighting, www.americantrophy.net, is a good example of his work, and he will talk about search engine optimization, site structure, back-end eCommerce, and an XML Flash product scroller.

    Food and networking will begin at 6:00 PM. The meeting will be 6:30-9:00 PM. Visit www.ocmma.org for more information.
