A picture of a butterfly and a picture of a snake do not get the same response. In addition to subject matter*, the formal aspects of visual composition are like the grammar of a language. In writing, a story is written with words - subject matter. Like good literature and good poetry is more than words and subject matter, art is more than pictures. The organization, the sentence structure, the style, and so on can make or break a good story. The use of design principles applied to the visual elements is like visual grammar.

30 Useful Adobe InDesign Tutorials - CG Resources – pxleyes.com. Adobe InDesign, which happens to be a contemporary of Adobe’s other software Pagemaker, in many ways has been Adobe’s saviour. In the year 1998, Pagemaker had almost all the business to its rival software QuarkXPress 4.1, which offered many more superior features which came into the market in 1998. There was a time when Quark planned to buy Adobe but then came the creation of a new independent project which was named “K2” by Adobe.

K2 was later on released as InDesign 1.0 in the year 1999 and proved to be an instant hit amongst designers. Over the years 8 versions of InDesign have been released after the first one, the latest one being Adobe InDesign CS 4 which was released in September 2008. With different versions have come up different compatibility issues and other problems but the myriad of desktop publishing features which has made this software a hit amongst publishing houses overshadows them all.
