It was all Quark XPress for me in my print magazine publishing days, could never get on with Pagemaker. It got me up to speed, but I vastly prefer Illustrator and I’m still using it at work, for example, today. During the following years I tried getting up to speed on Freehand and the usual thing, I couldn’t unless I had a proper production project that required it, so when one our magazines (ST Action I think it must’ve been) invited Jeff Minter to write his own column I used that to create the whole page in trippy style entirely set in Freehand (hint – setting columns of type in it was not a good idea, if you need to later make copy edits to it).
