ABSTRACT
There was a time when professional commercial artists and print specialists took care of designing and producing almost all the print materials instructional designers used. Now, more often than not, instructional designers make many of their own print materials by using computer-based word processing, image manipulation, web-editing, and desktop publishing tools. The final product may not be as good as it would be if it were produced by an experienced commercial artist, but do-it-yourself materials have the advantage of being quick and inexpensive to make.
