InDesign BiBi Card

Using the InDesign program was much easier than QuarkXPress. I was not too excited about having to do both BiBi cards again in a different program however, when I began using the tools in InDesign I realized that they are much easier to use once you understand the program. Before I knew how to use the program I was trying to look for similar tools that were in QuarkXPress that were familiar to me in order to re-create the assignment but everything was different. I was very confused but as I began to pick the BiBi card apart I found out that there were ruler tools that we much different that QuarkXPress. This ruler tool was a neon green line that appeared when moving text boxes. This tool was much more helpful then that on QuarkXPress because you could see where your text boxes were lining up in relation to the surrounding fonts and their text boxes. After I completed matching up the texts I began to add the corresponding colors on the newly created BiBi card. I had to look up how to do these colors but once I figured it out I found a color pallet and that was it, the card was finished. InDesign was a much faster program to use than QuarkXPress and although QuarkXPress maybe more user friendly InDesign was much more efficient. After this project was completed I'm glad I had the opportunity to recreate the BiBi card in a different program because it helped me learn how to use another program as well as apply what I learned in QuarkXPress to help me figure out the most efficient tools to use when recreating the BiBi card in a different program.
