Download or read book Designing with LibreOffice written by Bruce Byfield and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing with LibreOffice is not the usual death march through the menu and standard tasks. Instead, the book takes two fresh approaches to the world's most popular free office suite. First, it explains the importance of using styles and templates in order to use LibreOffice with the most convenience and the least effort. By taking advantage of styles and templates, you can concentrate on self-expression, rather than format. Later, as you edit, you can make changes more quickly and with more precision. Second, it explains the basics of modern design and how to apply them in LibreOffice, expanding on the open secret that LibreOffice is as much a desktop publishing application as an office suite. It explains and illustrates the possible choices as you design, as well as the pros, cons, and considerations behind each choice - and, in some cases, what you should avoid altogether.

Download or read book Book Publishing With InDesign CC written by David Bergsland and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning! This is a reflowable ePUB for a book about typographic design for books. Many things cannot be shown in an ePUB, so they had to be converted to graphics.This book is what I'd use for my textbook if I were still teaching my six-credit Digital Publishing community college course for the Business Graphics degree I designed, taught, and led for 18 years.This is a major update for me. Many of the changes I've been waiting for with ePUB production have been implemented. InDesign now stands at the top of the heap for book production in general and ePUB production in particular. You do not need to know code, though understanding how HTML and CSS works will aid your conceptual understanding.I was luke warm about FXL until I realized that the new fixed layout ePUBs would show gradient paragraph rules, gradient strokes and fills in tables, and much more. The only major thing we're missing is the fact that justification does not work in FXL. The exported ePUBs upload flawlessly to the iBooks Store and Kobo Writing Life.Finally, the 21st century book publishing software we need is within our grasp. There's still more to come, but the present version is very good.
