Dave Moser, Executive Publisher Layers, states that the mag­a­zine is pro­duced in InDesign and points out the con­cept of the Advantage Center.

We cer­tain­ly believe that the future of page lay­out belongs to InDesign sim­ply due to all the amaz­ing things a design­er can do with it.” Moser remarks. “Because of that, we took and long and care­ful look at the fea­tures of both QuarkXPress and InDesign in real-world sit­u­a­tions. What we found was that InDesign pro­vid­ed the most advanced, easy-to-master envi­ron­ment for the cre­ative pro­fes­sion­al to take their design skills to the next level.”
