It does not matter if one wants to create brochures, advertising, postcards or posters; this software really comes in handy. From the very beginning, it allows the user to choose what he wishes to create:  Project or Library and afterwards fill in project details about Page: Size, Height, Orientation (Portrait or Landscape), Layout and Margin Guides. It integrates powerful web tools that provide the possibility of working with Web layouts.  For example, the Text Content tool allows adding text on the page, in the blue box that can be shaped in all sorts of forms. When it comes to adding pictures, nothing could be easier, just click on the Rectangular Box tool and drag and drop Pictures. For having a better perspective on the structure of the page, the user may add Guides, Page Grids, Rulers, Visual Indicators, Text Box Grids and Ruler Direction.

For making the masterpiece appealing, background and frame color can be used for the picture. Also, Symbols can be added when creating a page and let’s not forget about Font and Characters. It comes with interesting features, such as Callouts, Lists, possibility to add Hyperlinks, Cloner and ShapeMaker. If the Pictures are not that catchy, they could be edited with the Picture Effects feature that gathers Adjustments (possibility to set Brightness/Contrast, Gama correction, Color balance), use Filters for Diffusing, and add Noise, Emboss and Trace Contour. QuarkXPress comes with the features necessary for creating grate articles; it even integrates a Spell Checker always on the lookout for spelling mistakes.
