QuarkXPress Articles by Pariah S. Burke

Credentials are one thing—everyone on your shortlist has them—but the best way to get to gauge the depth of a consultant's knowledge and ability is, well, it's to hire him or her. The second best way is to read the consultant's published works. I've written two books all by my lonesome, co-authored two other books, and written somewhere north of 250 articles published in many of the most respected industry publications and Websites.

QuarkXPress 6.5: A Show of Good Faith?

Greatest Post On Quark vs. InDesign Ever

Published By: Quark VS InDesign April 2004
Would I like to see competition remain in the layout application market? Yes, whole-heartedly. Quark, Inc. only got as good as it did because it began as an upstart competitor to PageMaker. But I also believe in reaping what you sow. Quark, Inc. has stepped on its users and ignored them for so long because users had no other choice but QuarkXpress, that Quark, Inc. has become a real bad guy in the industry. I want to see Quark, Inc. finally realize the consequences of its actions, just like everyone else. It would be good for the market if Quark, Inc. did so, then learned from its mistakes and managed to stay alive to build a better application. I don't advocate the demise of Quark, Inc., I predict it. There's a major difference there.
