Major UK Daily wins award sponsored by and named for Quark after moving to InDesign

It was announced yesterday by Adobe that The Daily Telegraph, a major UK newspaper with a circulation of just over 900,000, has garnered the UK Newspaper Design of the Year Award, also known as the “Quark Award”, after its major sponsor, Quark Incorporated.

In an ironic twist, however, The Daily Telegraph won this award after transitioning away from QuarkXPress-to InDesign and InCopy. Quoted by Editor & Publisher, Telegraph Group Operations Director, Peter C. Green, said “The results speak for themselves in terms of the design quality we’ve been able to achieve”.

The Editor & Publisher article is also noteworthy for providing additional insight into the Aulakh departure by contrasting it with the similar tenure of former Quark COO Chuck Bland, seven years ago.

1. I think Adobe should just buy Quark strip it of the things that InDesign doesn’t have, implement them into InDesign and repackage Quark as a sort of prerequiste software to InDesign or more for the Home Users sort of thing.

2. That would certainly be an ironic outcome, given that Quark made noises about buying Adobe a few years back.

Tip of the Day

Add Your Paragraph and Character Styles to All New InDesign Documents Automatically

Got paragraph and character styles you use frequently? Maybe you took our advice and created basic, global character styles for bold, italic, bold-italic, and regular. Save yourself some serious time loading your commonly used styles into new documents—make them part of the default for all new documents.

Open InDesign (or InCopy) but don’t open a document. From the flyout menu on the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel choose the Load All Text Styles command. You’ll be prompted to find a document containing the desired styles. Find and select that, and then pick the styles you want. When they import to the Paragraph Styles and/or Character Styles panels, with no documents opened, those style become available by default for all new documents you create.
