Whether you need to create traditional printed materials, Web sites with online publications, advertising, and interactivity — including video and audio content — along with a whole new category of design for e-readers, smartphones, and tablets such as the iPad — you can do it all with QuarkXPress. Using QuarkXPress, you can: - Create spectacular Print Design
QuarkXPress lets you turn your ideas into reality. It gives you precise control over text, images, shapes, color, and opacity, and its compatible with a broad range of file formats. No design is too simple or too complex — and no page layout software gives you more control over design and reliable output. - Easily create engaging Web Designs
Working in the same familiar and intuitive interface of QuarkXPress, you can create gorgeous Web pages, complete with hyperlinks, menus, forms, image maps, and rollovers; create animated SWF (Flash) files with moving objects, movies, windows, and more; and export HTML pages and Flash for publishing to the Web — without writing a single line of code. - Create and control the Ultimate Mobile experience on the iPad
QuarkXPress gives designers the power to create and control your own iPad app(s); convert print content to rich, interactive iPad content, or design for the iPad from scratch; design for both horizontal and vertical orientations; and publish to the Apple App Store and manage your apps, publications, and issues. - Design and Publish e-books:
Publish and distribute full-color, interactive e-books through the Blio eReader — the most versatile e-reader on the market — and sell through the Blio online bookstore, powered by Baker & Taylor, the worlds largest distributor of physical and digital media; convert your QuarkXPress print layouts to well-structured, reflowable e-books; and export standards-compliant ePUB files ready for submission to online bookstores.
Best of all, you can communicate in all the ways you need to — in print and digital media — by learning and using a single tool, QuarkXPress. Web and Digital Design
QuarkXPress provides a toolset that lets you design and publish for a variety of output formats — including the Web, smartphones, e-readers, and tablets — without having to learn a different skill set for each, learn to write code or program, or purchase additional software applications. With QuarkXPress, you can convert a print project to create material for the Web, animated SWF (Flash) files, e-books for the Kindle, iBooks, Sony Reader, Nook, and more, and tablets such as the iPad. Once youve converted it, you can customize your content for the new medium with page transitions, videos, sounds, slideshows, and more. Or you can create digital content from scratch, in the same workspace, and all with the same set of tools.
