They will also create and edit Bézier paths, manually resize text, create a type mask, and adjust tracking and kerning. Topic coverage also includes page numbering, list creation, and table-of-contents formatting. In addition, students will learn how to apply spot colors, create color blends and multi-ink colors, and work with Job Jackets and Job Tickets. Students will leave knowing how to create single and multi-page documents, communicate with commercial printers as well as understand the finer points of typography, multi-color ink jobs and long documents. </courseDescription>
