    Desktop publishing (or DTP, its often-used acronym)

    “production of
    printed matter by
    means of a desktop
    computer having a
    layout program that
    integrates text and
    graphics.”
    Typesetting and page
    layout done at a desktop
    computer is called desktop
    publishing.
    It can be used to design
    graphic material from
    brochures and flyers to
    whole books.
    Desktop publishing is the use of the
    computer and software to create visual
    displays of ideas and information.

    Desktop publishing documents may be


    for desktop or commercial printing or
    electronic distribution including PDF,
    slide shows, email newsletters, epub,
    and the Web.
    In 1984, MacPublisher was
    introduced as the first desktop
    publishing program for Macintosh
    computers. Apple then brought
    the LaserWriter printer onto the
    market in 1985 and Aldus later
    that year the PageMaker software
    (now Adobe PageMaker) and
    voilà, the desktop publishing
    boom was born.
    Aldus founder Paul Brainerd is
    attributed with coining the term
    desktop publishing, focusing on
    user-friendliness and affordability
    of the process.

    A Brief History of Desktop Publishing


    A Brief History of Desktop Publishing
    The new technology revolutionized
    both the typesetting and the PC
    industries. The former, because many
    manual processes could be automated,
    making the typesetting and therefore
    printing process easier and faster; the
    latter, because anyone now had the
    option to become a desktop publisher.
    WYSIWYG (pronounced as vizyvig
    is simply an acronym for what-
    you-see-is-what-you-get,
    describing the principle behind
    the desktop publishing

    The page layout on screen gives a good


    indication of what the printed result will look
    like.

    “This year, to balance the very
    stiff competitive spirit among the
    participants, we introduced the
    Collaborative Publishing Contest
    where ...contestants as one team
    produced
    a tabloid on the spot....”
    Br. Armin A. Luistro, FSC
    Secretary, Department of Education
    The competition in collaborative publishing is
    designed to encourage teamwork among campus
    journalists and simulate the workplace of a
    publishing company/house.
    The team will be given two (2) hours for the data
    gathering and writing; and two (2) hours for lay-
    outing and editing.
    Each team will be required to bring a maximum of

    Photoshop (for secondary level) and Microsoft
    Publisher (for elementary) so as to lay-out the
    group’s final output.
