Adobe InDesign
Another Adobe product that has become the industry standard, this time for publication layout software, is InDesign. Years ago, it pushed QuarkXpress out of that position. Adobe continues to improve InDesign, as it does its other Creative Cloud stablemates, by adding tools for the ever-changing publishing landscape, as well as creativity and ease-of-use features. With Adobe Fonts, you also get unrivaled typography tools, as well as stock media from Adobe Stock.
InDesign is primarily aimed at publishing layout designers. It can also help marketers and those who need to create publications. It, like all Adobe professional design software, requires a recurring subscription fee, so if that bothers you, it's not for you. InDesign remains relevant, giving commercial creatives in 2019 an advantage in meeting ever-increasing client demands. Despite minor flaws, InDesign is an essential tool for any professional designer.
