quark jockey
someone who does graphic design, page layout or artworking for a living. it comes from them using quark xpress a professional grade page layout programme. whilst quark does have other software, its name is so -ssociated with the xpress application that most people in the industry just call it quark (and maybe put the version number of xpress behind it like quark 6 for quark xpress version 6). it also sounds better than indesign (as in adobe indesign, the major compet-tor to xpress).
its similar to a photoshop jockey – someone who uses adobe photoshop image manipulation day-in, day-out for a living.
“i don’t mean to boast but i’m not your average quark jockey, many of these wastoids don’t even know how to put bleedlines in and set up a page for printing.”
