This Artworker loves tables designers hate

Microsoft Excel is limited for creativity and design but InDesign can create company branded tables from your Excel tables.

They can also flow neatly from page to page. Tables are a fantastic way to layout lots of data neatly.

Converting QuarkXPress Files into Adobe InDesign

Quark Layout Converted into an Adobe InDesign File

Older QuarkXPress layouts can be converted into Adobe InDesign files, but online conversion tools will usually only provide the basics. Colours, images, and text may transfer across, but the converted document often requires further artwork, formatting, and proofing to ensure it is production-ready.

As an experienced artworker, Sarahjane understands that converted files can contain hidden issues, such as unnecessary text boxes, incorrect styles, and inconsistent formatting. Rather than relying on a conversion alone, she can rebuild layouts properly in Adobe InDesign, creating a clean, organised, and reliable file that is ready for print and easier to update in the future.

Table design is quick when you know how

Table design is neat and tidy and can be achieved with Adobe InDesign styles for a consistent look and feel. A colour of font change can be made with one click instead of multi page amends. Using InDesign, the tables flow nicely from page to page the same a Microsoft Word and can be easily imported. There is more control in InDesign to Word and will look more professional.

An Artworker Is the Designer’s Mechanic

A car designer creates the vision, but it’s the mechanic who builds, fine-tunes, and keeps the vehicle running smoothly. The relationship between a graphic designer and an artworker is much the same.

While designers focus on creativity and visual concepts, a professional artworker specialises in production, using Adobe InDesign to its full potential with master pages, paragraph and character styles, tables of contents, GREP where appropriate, and efficient keyboard shortcuts. This expertise makes artworkers faster and more accurate when producing large documents such as catalogues, brochures, reports, tenders, and other complex publications.

An artworker creates clean, well-structured layouts that maintain consistency, follow corporate branding guidelines, and are easy to update when client amendments arrive. By anticipating future changes and organising studio files including images, Word documents, PDFs, and version-controlled artwork projects remain efficient and accessible for the whole team.

Ultimately, an artworker takes care of the technical production, allowing designers to focus on what they do best: creating outstanding design.
