Hey Guys,
I'm a long time artist who finds himself for the first time doing temp graphics work for an agency.
Up till relatively recently I had been doing my print work almost exclusively with Photoshop. Six months ago my eyes were opened with InDesign CS2 and then more recently with Illustrator CS which has come a long way in the past several years.
On Wednesday I jump into the world of temp graphics work at a magazine publisher. So what are, in your opinion, the most important things, concepts, tricks, technical issues, plus anything else you can think of, to remember as I continue on my graphics journey.
Thanks in advance for your help and consideration.

Join as many creative temp agencies as possible
and then find your niche-what you really love to do and excel in it.
As for tips & technical issues there are some great free videos:

Re: Top Advice for Print Temping
Tue, November 27, 2007 - 11:36 AMGet really familiar with the tools and keyboard shortcuts of InDesign. There's so much more to it than first meets the eye and most of the little seemingly unimportant features are actually quite usefull, unlike photoshop where you'll never use most of the filters etc.
If you're on a good machine you'll be able to work almost as fast as you think and that can lead to more options and better output.
