About.com Desktop Publishing There's an interesting discussion just started in the forum: What Am I? I'd certainly say that Sheryl is an aspiring graphic designer. She has a much better handle on what she knows and doesn't know than a lot of people who call themselves graphic designers. Would like to hear what others have to say.

I've been considering myself a "desktop publisher" because I feel I don't quite measure up to the label "graphic designer." I'm wondering, though, what is the distinction between the two?

About.com Desktop Publishing Got a new iPhone last week and I've been browsing the app store looking for freebies. In fact, my Black Friday shopping consisted of finding paid apps that were on sale for free (I love free). Some of the apps I'm grabbing are actually useful for desktop publishing / graphic design. Like WhatTheFont for iPhone. Just di...d a review and a tutorial on it. Take a look.

About.com Desktop Publishing Too cold to type. Guess it's time to start heating up the house or everyone is going to have to spend the next few months reading nothing but repeats from me.
After several attempts I was finally able to download the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta over the weekend. Although I haven't had a chance to dig into it much, I do have a bunch of screenshots I made in Publisher 2010 that show off some of the new and improved features. Read more...My Publisher 2010 ...
