Corporate Training: Desktop publishing concepts
1 day introduction
 Desktop publishing is the process of using page layout and graphic software to produce a wide variety of publications electronically. Although DTP simplifies and speeds up the production of publications, it is important that those new to it gain some familiarity with the basic principles of graphic design and page layout.
This one day course aims to demystify desktop publishing by explaining the procedures, terminology and best practices involved in producing publications electronically.
