Desktop Publishing [C104]
Desktop publishing is a natural and popular extension of word processing, and its appeal is widespread. The desktop publishing certificate program addresses the needs of not only office professionals, but also of individuals who believe they would like to start their own publishing business from home and individuals who simply enjoy being creative as a hobby. Most publishing tasks such as newsletters, directories, business cards, flyers, reports, forms, brochures, pamphlets, manuals, invitations, announcements, advertisements, and catalogs can now be done quickly and professionally in-house by people with modest levels of training and expertise rather than by expensive career professionals.
