  • 1.  Seeking label editing software recs.

    Posted 06-06-2017 10:51 AM

    Hi all –

     

    Does anyone use a text editing software program that they can recommend for exhibition text? I mean something that streamlines the workflow and organizes the process, not something that edits for you (!).

     

    Thanks!

    Stefania,

    I use the Adobe suite for most of my exhibit labels, specifically InDesign & Illustrator. The native text editing in sufficient for our labels. With the various programs being streamlined together, it is easy to create a template in say, Illustrator, and then import it to InDesign for text editing and manipulation. InDesign offers a lot of editing options beyond spelling and grammar. You can adjust the kerning, line spacing, paragraph spacing, etc. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fast and easy solution for label creation. 

    Best,
    James
