ACP Highlight

Uwe Laubender. Uwe joined our Adobe family as an Adobe Community Professional on ‎June 2, 2009. Uwe is one of our top contributors in Adobe InDesign community, and has won accolades and appreciation from our community of users for his insightful answers driven by his product expertise.

Let's know more about him in his own words:- 

I began my design career as an Illustrator expert in the pre-digital age. Mostly work for semi-professional magazines in the science-fiction field of the late 70ies and the early 80ies of the last century. Ended the University Of Applied Sciences and Arts in Würzburg, Germany with a diploma on "Desktop Publishing" in 1987. My thesis was done with and was about electronic publishing with PageMaker 1 on Windows 1, the application that finally changed all for graphic designers at that time. Did already do some programing work by writing Encapsulated PostScript files for typographic effects. I had to bring my own equipment, because I was the first one who used DTP at the faculty of Communication Design at that time. My thesis professor really had no idea what I was doing, but he trusted me 🙂

Nowadays I do work in mainly three fields:
1. Design for magazines and other mostly print related stuff.
2. Workflow automation with InDesign by writing ExtendScript JavaScript.
3. For over ten years now I am lecturing courses on typography, layout and print production on The Hochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Faculty III - Media, Information and Design.  My current project, not finalized yet, is the "EXPORTER At Home" magazine. You may have a look at my work below:-

What Barb said! If there is any issue that Uwe hasn't come across I'd like to know. He's a human ID tester, the best!!
