Print & Play – Design Software Question

[Johnathan Proctor]

So this past week’s podcast on Print & Play really got me thinking about stuff, and now I’m working in Microsoft Publisher to see how it functions. There may be some nicer programs, but I already own this one as part of my old Office 2013 package. I’m curious though… what is the big difference between a program like this something such as Microsoft PowerPoint? I assume that the bells and whistles in Publisher are focused on graphic design and assume the end product will be printed while the features of PowerPoint may be more along the lines of assuming the slide deck will be part of a presentation.

If anybody here uses Microsoft Publisher and can recommend some resources for leaning how to get the most from it, I’d appreciate it. I’m interested for both prototyping pieces and components for my current game, but also because I’m really inspired by this past week to do more in the whole Print & Play space.
