Title Management and Indesign Indepth-Session 1

We begin a series of sessions on creating catalogs and other materials in Indesign. In this session we will demonstrate techniques for integrating Title Management with Indesign via XML. We will review a technique we call 'Frames based' for catalogs with varying layouts on each page. We will also discuss 'best practices' for catalog workflow from copy writer to graphic designer. Resources will be made available for participants to practice on their own. In future sessions we will demonstrate the 'Placeholders' technique for catalogs with more consistent designs and review the techniques in more detail, dealing with fine tuning for practical success.

Keynote Speech: CJ Rayhill

A private showing will be held of the video of our Keynote Speech from the 2008 Firebrand Community Conference, presented by CJ Rayhill. CJ Rayhill joined Safari Books Online from O'Reilly Media, where she served as Chief Information Officer for the last 7 years. This acclaimed speech was highly popular and informative at the conference. CJ is going to take us through a case study of how the Safari network was formed, and the business models that were created. She will take us through the history of the company with anecdotes about the pros and cons of being in a joint venture with a much larger company. Additionally, CJ will explain how this model may be applicable to other markets inside the book publishing community.
