Customer testimonials
Quark customers around the world share their Quark Interactive Designer success stories and how its reliability and ease of use has helped them increase productivity and creativity.
"During my studies, I’ve learned how to create the perfect design for each media. Though I love learning new tools, it is sometimes frustrating, that every application has different restrictions or that certain design features just function differently. Since Quark Interactive Designer works inside QuarkXPress, I can finally work with the same tools to also create compelling designs for Flash —and without having to learn how to code."

Alexandre Tchobanko, Designstudent
"Quark Interactive Designer is a useful addition to QuarkXPress, which allows users to to create flash Flash animations with hardly any effort. The functionality provided will enable many users to make their clients happy." says Bernd Drienko, Technical Editor at Sommer Antriebs- und Funktechnik GmbH. "The product especially flexes its muscles with the "shared content ' and the Composition Zones functions, as they allow me to use existing print layouts and synchronize content across media. An additional argument is the price; the introductory offer is only one one-eighth that of Adobe Flash Professional."

Bernd Drienko, Sommer Antriebs- und Funktechnik GmbH
“Quark Interactive Designer promises to be a breakthrough package. Not only will it be easier than ever to create Flash applications for consumers and professionals, but the software will probably have an impact on the Web business itself.”

Bert Hagendoorn, Dzone Magazin
“This is potentially of explosive importance.”

Bill Troop, MacDirectory
“What caught my attention about Quark Interactive Designer is that I can use a desktop publishing/layout application and familiar tools and have the possibility of placing an image and then annotating it with rollovers. This capability is ideal for creating quick interactive training materials and can even be expanded out to create quick advertisements or promo pieces.”

Doug Rosen, Markzware
"'I have already created some beautiful animations with the beta version, and the export is fast. In my opinion, there is a lot of business potential for an application like Quark Interactive Designer; graphic designers will especially get used to the tool quickly. Plus, it is fun to use!"
"
Georg Obermayr, Adverma
"I had great fun creating Flash layouts with Quark Interactive Designer. Define an object, associate an action with an event, preview, done — it is that easy. This way, I can fully concentrate on the design, elaborate on the typography, and add transparencies and drop shadows. No programming, no timeline — just simple."

Katharina Hepp, Designstudentin
"In an era of depleted income opportunities for the traditional print designer, the Web features of QuarkXPress facilitate expansion into new areas without necessitating vast reinvestment in specialized software, training, and mindset. And Quark Interactive Designer is the icing on the cake. If a Web novice like myself can master building working Macromedia Flash (SWF) files with Quark Interactive Designer, then anyone can. It opens up so many possibilities – not least because of the seamless way it integrates with the familiar way of working in QuarkXPress."
Kim Porter
"This was much more interesting than I was expecting."
LarsErik Høiskar, In-Publish
"The idea for the Quark Interactive Designer—an application that produces Flash output — was a very smart one. I work with designers at publishing companies and design firms who have to produce Web materials and don’t have the time it takes to learn Flash. The Quark Interactive Designer makes it possible to produce Flash output using the application that most designers work in and think in.”

Martha Leinroth, Leinroth
"Normally, I'm not very fond of the idea of making Web content from a layout software, but this application actually made me reconsider. Even if many print designers normally do not work with Web graphics, Quark Interactive Designer could be a way to bridge the gap between print and online material. For me and my magazine, CAP&Design, the need for print designers to take an interest in and learn more about producing material for online, is not an option but a necessity. Quark Interactive Designer seems to give a lot of them a quicker way there."
Per Torberger, CAP&Design
“The vast majority of designers have neither the time nor desire to hand-code interactive Web sites, yet the the capabilities of Flash coding are of immense interest and relevance to them. Quark Interactive Designer bridges this creative gap, and it does so with an elegance and simplicity that should excite designers, especially at this price.”

Sean Ashcroft Ashcroft, Journalist
"Quark Interactive Designer is the perfect SWF presentation tool for today's multi-tasking print designers. Its intuitive, flexible, and easy-to-use format allows you to create dynamic, interactive presentations without having to learn ActionScript or even use a timeline. There's no faster or easier way to add interactivity to your workflow."
