Desktop publishing software can be found in both graphic design firms and other types of businesses of all sizes, homes, schools, quick copy centers, service bureaus, and print shops.
Just about anywhere there is a need to produce printed communications from billboards to baby announcements to business cards, you can find desktop publishing software and people using it.
Answer: The type of desktop publishing software in use varies. Homes and small businesses may utilize consumer-level desktop publishing software packages designed for non-designers while freelance graphic designers, graphic design firms, corporations, and print shops utilize high-end applications designed for professional and high-volume use. Despite the differences in the software, types of documents created, and where the software is used, all these types of uses fall under the umbrella of desktop publishing.
