Getting a Grip on InDesign’s GREP

 

Thursday, January 21, 2016

7-10 p.m.

The Art Institute of California

2950 31st St., Santa Monica, CA 90405

 

 

 

Does the mere mention of the foreign-sounding GREP send your heart racing? Do you just pretend it doesn’t exist or think it’s over your head? As a designer, you owe it to yourself to discover ways of using GREP to help automate and speed up your workflow. Whether you end up creating GREP expressions on your own, or use the built-in options, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to explore the world of GREP.

Location

 

The January meeting will be held at The Art Institute of California, a new location for us, but one that is familiar to those who attend other user groups (LA Web Professionals Group, LAdobe, Adobe Illustrator User's Group LA, among others). Validated parking is free. Bring your ticket to the receptionist who will validate your ticket and direct you to the room.

 

 

Free Stylus

 

Free Allary-brand touch screen stylus to the first 20 people who purchase at least one raffle ticket. Assorted colors.

 

 

Farthest Attendee

 

The person who travels the farthest specifically to attend the meeting will receive a 6 months subscription to InDesign Magazine. Value $30.00. You  need to prove to us that you traveled farthest to attend this meeting. Having recently moved to the area from somewhere else won't cut it. Be prepared to show us indication of your current residence—perhaps a driver's license or a utility bill. Decision of the administrators of the Los Angeles InDesign User Group is final.
