Case Study: The Salvation Army achieves interactive, modern educational resources with QuarkXPress (Quark)

Making Learning Fun, Easy, and Interactive with Quarkxpress

The Salvation Army’s UK Schools and Colleges Unit needed to modernize its curriculum-based lesson plans, leaflets and school-visit resources but faced tight budgets, limited in-house design skills and time constraints. Outsourcing proved unaffordable, and existing Word-based materials weren’t suitable for engaging young audiences for the “Ultimate Church Visit.”

Using a trial of QuarkXPress 8, the team produced a 50‑page interactive CD‑ROM and rebranded print and digital materials in-house—adding menus, animations and links to PDFs and PowerPoints without coding. The project saved significant costs, is now used by 100+ Salvation Army churches across the UK, and gave the department greater control and capability for future interactive resources.
