<p>Quark Interactive Designer making waves in design circles worldwide</p>
<p>Widespread acclaim for interactive Macromedia Flash (SWF) application<br />
for QuarkXPress 7</p>
<p>DENVER - October 31, 2006 - Designing interactive layouts in a flash<br />
is quickly becoming the new rage among designers. Quark Inc.<br />
announced today rave reviews of the new Quark Interactive Designer,<br />
which enables creative professionals to create rich, interactive<br />
content using QuarkXPress 7.</p>
<p>"This is potentially of explosive importance," declared Bill Troop of<br />
MacDirectory.</p>
<p>Quark Interactive Designer empowers designers by allowing them to<br />
easily design precise and compelling Macromedia Flash (SWF) layouts<br />
for the Web-without needing to know complicated code. With Quark<br />
Interactive Designer, users simply design for multiple channels<br />
inside QuarkXPress using the only Flash creation application with<br />
built-in collaboration features in the industry.</p>
<p>"Quark Interactive Designer promises to be a breakthrough package,"<br />
claims Bert Hagendoorn, editor-in-chief of Dzone magazine. "Not only<br />
will it be easier than ever to create Flash applications for<br />
consumers and professionals, but the software will probably have an<br />
impact on the Web business itself."</p>
<p>Ted LoCascio, graphic designer of <a href="http://www.tedlocascio.com" title="www.tedlocascio.com">www.tedlocascio.com</a>, said "Quark<br />
Interactive Designer is the perfect presentation tool for today's<br />
multi-tasking print designers. Its intuitive, flexible, and<br />
easy-to-use format allows you to create dynamic, interactive<br />
presentations without having to learn ActionScript or even use a<br />
timeline. There's no faster or easier way to add interactivity to<br />
your workflow."</p>
<p>Because the software is so easy to use, Quark Interactive Designer<br />
empowers users-from individual designers and agencies to corporate<br />
Marcom and retail groups-to create dynamic interactive pieces without<br />
compromising creativity. In addition, design students finally have<br />
one tool to fully express themselves through all channels: print,<br />
Web, and interactive presentations.</p>
<p>"During my studies, I've learned how to create the perfect design for<br />
each media. Though I love learning new tools, it is sometimes<br />
frustrating that every application has different restrictions or that<br />
certain design features just function differently," said Alexandre<br />
Tchobanko, design student in Germany. "Since Quark Interactive<br />
Designer works inside QuarkXPress, I can finally work with the same<br />
tools to also create compelling designs for Flash-all without having<br />
to learn how to code."</p>
<p>"Quark Interactive Designer does exactly what it sets out to achieve:<br />
enabling designers to build lively Flash presentations with the<br />
minimum amount of learning," exclaimed Karen Haslam, deputy editor,<br />
Macworld UK. "As such, it makes QuarkXPress a more rounded<br />
cross-media authoring tool and should enable designers to stay more<br />
involved in cross-media projects."</p>
<p>Availability and price<br />
Quark Interactive Designer requires QuarkXPress 7.02 or later and is<br />
available as a Universal application for Mac OS and Windows. Quark<br />
