A Biennial of Distinction: The 2nd Iberoamerican Poster Biennial 2005, Bolivia
Xavier Bermudez, Mexico
"A recent study published in Mexico has revealed that cultural activities such as the cinema, exhibitions, museums, concerts, biennials and international competitions, in addition to editorial activities that promote reading, represent, in economic terms, 6% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country." Thus begins this week's Feature by Xavier Bermudez on the 2nd Iberoamerican Poster Biennial.

O P I N I O N
QuarkXpress vs InDesign: Which page layout software predominates in your design association or studio?
For awhile there has been debate in the graphic design community about which page layout software is the most efficient and easy to use. Sometimes what designers think they should be using and what they actually use for their 'day job' differs. We would like to know which page layout software your association or studio uses in its day-to-day production.
