It was time again for the Pantone Colour Institute to announce their pick for Colour of the Year. We did an article last year on the really popular Ultra Violet (18-3838) colour choice which was described as inventive and imaginative.
This time around, the 2019 Colour of the Year is Living Coral (Pantone 16-1546 TCX or Pantone 2345 C – yes, an easy one to remember). Living Coral is described as vibrant, yet mellow by Pantone and is inspired by a need to relax and promote human interaction, in world of constantly shifting digital landscapes. (more…)
The new Properties panel in Adobe InDesign CC 2019 provides access to common properties for the currently selected element. This is a welcome change to the existing situation where objects and text frames each have multiple panels, as well as the Options Bar for setting properties.

If you happen to be working in Adobe InDesign on a magazine, newsletter or even a large book divided into chapters, it is a good idea to only thread together the text frames belonging to a single article or chapter. Depending on the size of the publication, threading together all the text frames in the layout could get overwhelming and possibly lead to text in the wrong place. (more…)
We’re excited to announce that we have moved offices and training to the Jubilee Campus which includes the University of Nottingham Innovation Park. All training will now take place from the new facilities and we’re keen to find out what you think of the place. (more…)
The latest update to Camera Raw (ACR) in Adobe Photoshop has seen a welcomed move of the Dehaze feature. As the name suggests, Dehaze is capable of removing haziness from photographs as well as the ability to add a bit of haze for effect. (more…)
With the release of Adobe Illustrator CC 2018, one of several new features added was Puppet Warp. This has been a part of Adobe Photoshop since before Creative Cloud and it really does has a place in Illustrator. (more…)
Every year the Pantone Colour Institute announce their pick for Colour of the Year. Last year’s colour was called Greenery (15-0343) and it inspired a push towards green and natural palettes.
The awarded colour of 2018 is Ultra Violet (Pantone 18-3838 TCX or Pantone 2096 C for ink). (more…)
InDesign CC 2018 introduces a new feature called Paragraph Borders. Previous versions of Adobe InDesign included the ability to add paragraph shading, but now we’re able to add one or more borders around a paragraph of text. Together with paragraph shading it is now possible to create standout content without the need for additional text frames. (more…)
Photoshop CC 2018 provides a great new tool for creating vector paths and shapes. The Curvature Pen tool instinctively allows you to draw vector paths and then simply push and pull them to change their curve. No more need for Bezier curves although they’re still available via the Direct Selection Tool. (more…)
