Good Thursday friends! Today I want to present you a very interesting editorial design application, especially if you are starting out in the world of layout and desktop publishing. It's called Scribus and this gem will allow us to layout documents with a wide range of professional resources that exceed those of a professional text editor. And, best of all, it's totally free. Its versatility and effectiveness is astonishing for free software, and although it does not reach giants like InDesign, it can be a great help to enter the interesting world of publishing before taking a leap to other paid editors, which for What are we going to fool ourselves, its price is astronomical (although it is also true that it is worth getting one).
The success of this program has been reflected in the community of publishers who have set up support communities, books, tutorials ... Although there are many resources, forums and others on the web, I think there can be no better help than the official application manual. So I leave it for you here so you can take a look and take advantage of all the potential that Scribus offers us. You can download the content in esta página, although I will leave the link below in case there is a problem with the link.
I also leave you here the link to download the program (the download button is in the lower left area of the page) Did you think I was going to forget it? ;)
