Graphic Designers: Illustrator VS In Design?!?

I'm pretty much an "expert" in Illustrator and I'm great with Photoshop, but I never learned In Design in school. Is it easy to use if one knows Illustrator & Photoshop? What do I need to know about it. What is it's main purpose? Just page layouts? That's the feeling I get... I actually use Illustrator to do layouts now... which one is better and if I know Illus and Photo can I "say" I'd be able to use In Design? Otherwise, I might need a class!!! Thank you!!! :) (I'm looking for a new job and everyone asks that you know in design now... i'm hoping id know how to use it since i know illus and photoshop..?! thx again! :) ~ meliss

Hey! You are mastering the graphic design tri-fecta. The rule i go by is Illustrator for cartoons/illustrations/vecter work, photoshop for photos/web/multi combo documents, and indesign for text layouts like flyers/promotion items/magazine layouts. If it has a lot of text in it, i would go for indesign becuase its options for text far outweigh the others. its what its ment for.

if you need some help there are a lot of small quick tutorials you could do that will get you used to the program. check adobes website. it shouldnt be too hard to get the hang of though considering its made by the same people and boast a lot of the same tools as the other two. If you get the hang of all three and use them all together, the quality and speed of your work will improve greatly too.
