So in some ways XPress 8 is an admission by Quark that Adobe is now setting the standards for how designers work... By going back and re-focusing on the little stuff, they’ve actually made some giant strides forward.
Gene Gable has a First Look at Quark XPress 8.0 over at CreativePro that's worth reading if you're a Quark user thinking of upgrading.
As you probably have guessed by the content here at The Graphic Mac, I'm not a Quark XPress user (though I was for many years). That being said, the new features look quite appealing. However, the new "interface" reminds me of a kid's painting program. Very gaudy and comic book-like, in my opinion.

The only reason I think this
Tue, 07/01/2008 - 09:40 — coghill-cartooningThe only reason I think this is cool is that it will up the ante for Adobe to keep pushing the feature set of InDesign.
The new interface is as terrible as the old one, just in a new way.
Plus, the standalone price for QXP just makes it a bad purchase when you'll need to get Photoshop and Acrobat Pro anyways - might as well just go for the Creative Suite and get Illustrator as well, and all for less money.
Couldn't agree more
