Desktop Publishing Desktop Publishing Get Started Choose Software Make Something From Jacci Howard Bear, your Guide to Desktop Publishing This weekend is split between two years as we usher in 2012. But before we do that let's take a look back, first at December and then the 11 months prior. All kinds of holidays and special dates were crammed into December, including Christmas. On the desktop publishing front I've offered up two more special interest niches to explore: packaging design and periodicals.

Find out why and I encourage you to share it with your Facebook or Twitter friends or Digg it or email it or however you prefer to share a link.
