Description I wish I knew how to operate more software programs, however as it is, I use the Printmaster software and MSWord. Would like to get more experience using Quark Express and Pagemaker. I enjoy making signs, posters, flyers for friends and relatives and have, on occasion, done this for business.
Tips/Advice If its just for fun - Go For It!! EXPERIMENT See what it is you really like, take note of just why and what it is you like about what you're doing and the software you're doing it with it. Then consider whether you have the necessary resources - talent and/or experience, physical, mental, financial, time, etc. - try taking it a step further, one step at a time.
In the beginning don't look too far ahead lest you become overwhelmed by the scope of the DTP field. Be persistent in moving forward in the direction of your goal (you must start out with a goal if you want to go somewhere with it), however small (or big) the steps may be at first. You must know yourself and how much you can devote toward obtaining your goal. If you just want to do it for fun, that's great too - I find it a very relaxing and rewarding way to express myself.
