Featured speakers include Caleb Clauset of Typefi ((www.typefi.com). Trainer and senior solutions consultant at Typefi Systems, Caleb will demonstrate Typefi AutoFit, a core component of the Typefi Publish 'scriptless' automated publishing system built on Adobe InDesign Server CS3. First announced at the InDesign Conference New York, Typefi AutoFit enables 'soft-bottom' text frames and dynamic relationships between InDesign objects, and is now available as a free plug-in for InDesign CS, CS2, and CS3.

Also on the agenda are the men from Noble Desktop ( (www.nobledesktop.com), Scott Carson and Dan Rodney. Scott will be showing how to use GREP to create multiple indexes (indices?) in InDesign CS3. Super-trainer and scripting whiz Dan Rodney (www.danrodney.com) will be showing two of his amazing and amazingly useful Javascripts for InDesign, Proper Fraction Pro and Make Book Jacket. If time allows, yours truly will demo the latest version of Smart Styles from Woodwing Software.

The Veer Student Program

Veer supports formal design education. (After all, you have to learn the rules before you can break them.) But, it’s more than that. At Veer, we seek to cultivate creativity, fuel ideas, and ignite a sense of passion for the profession — the same goals sought by design educators. We love the pure, unharnessed energy of original ideas and approaches to visual communications brought by the next generation of designers. It’s for these reasons that we’ve developed a program especially for students.

Qualifying students who enroll in the Veer Student Program receive a selection of free images and type, and substantial discounts when licensing elements for use in their projects. Students can access these elements and receive their discounts through a special account on the Veer web site.

We believe that by giving young designers access to Veer’s photography and type collections, we can help them achieve their goals, while educating them about the ethical use of creative elements, and the concepts of copyright and intellectual property. Many students will use stock in their professional careers; others may become photographers, illustrators, or type designers themselves. Volume quantities of Veer catalogs, specimen books, and other printed marketing materials are available to classes and schools upon request.

Plus we offer scholarships to directly support the studies of two deserving students each year and offer one student each year a summer internship with Veer’s award-winning creative team. Read the profiles of some of these up-and-coming student designers.
