I'm honored to feature Peter Spier as our community superstar for this month. Peter has been a part of our community for more than 19 years now. Wow!!! In my conversations with Peter, his humility and expertise blew me away. Peter is a long-time Adobe Community Professional (ACP) and has contributed to over 70K posts 👍🏻. More strength to you, Peter! We couldn't be gladder working with you and learning from your posts.
In Peter's own words:
"I transitioned careers from Jewelry design and cabinet-making to the printing business in the late 1990s, a few years before InDesign version 1 was released and Quark Xpress was the dominant application in my area. I got the bulk of my training as the prepress and art departments in a small job printer and later in a large-format service bureau. I saw (and had to fix) pretty much every kind of mistake that could be made, and made a few of my own. I took a look at ID version 1 when it came out, but didn't really touch the program until one of our print clients asked me to moonlight and help her with a project in version 1.5. The rest, as they say, is history.
There were no classes in InDesign when I started, but somehow I found my way to the Adobe InDesign forums and I was hooked. I read every post on the Windows side (they were separate in the early days) and tried to figure out the solution to every problem posed, paying close attention to hosts Bob Levine and Dave Saunders who really deserve the credit for my expertise. I began answering posts, eventually becoming for a time the number one responder and taking over much of the InDesign Forum hosting duties for about a decade. I switched over to ID for all of my production work at version 2, as I recall, and taught a few classes at Cape Cod Community College. I've retired to the mountains in Western North Carolina and am no longer as active in graphics, but I still do the occasional freelance job and answer posts on the forum".
