Software and equipment

Software typically used is Adobe Indesign CS2 on Mac and PC or Quark Express on Mac. The Outsource2india team works on high-end computers with flat screen monitors, equipped with Adobe Creative Suite CS2 and Microsoft software. Additional Adobe plug-ins speed up the work. All data has backup and there is an alternate power source as an uninterrupted backup.

Advantages of using Indesign CS2

Adobe has made it easy to share and re-purpose content. For example, a magazine made in Indesign can easily be converted for use on the web using Adobe GoLive. The Adobe Creative Suite provides the advantage of simple and fast collaboration between the other tools - Photoshop and Illustrator. Adobe also has a tool called InCopy which allows you to edit work in progress as the design evolves, without owning or knowing how to use Adobe InDesign.

Content formatting - getting the fonts you want

Some common problems faced by customers come from incompatibility of fonts between the Mac and PC. Outsource2india's creative team is well-versed with prepress and publishing processes and has a large selection of fonts. Our people have wide exposure to handling fonts of different kinds and can deliver the results you want.

Using the outsourced service

Some of our customers already have a magazine template or design and they simply send the content to be formatted, by email, VPN or FTP. They send us content as Word documents or in a variety of other formats. Others outsource a turnkey project - the design and development of the template as well as the formatting of the content. Outsource2india has people with the skills and expertise to handle many different kinds of content and formats. You can rely on our professional services for superior results.
