    If you feel more comfortable doing it all in PS - do that. Text and vector elements will appear crisp in a PS PDF, has done for many versions.
    I have done something similar recently and the file size wasn't huge at all. Whatever images you use in inDesign will be the same size as what is used in PS. Unless you are planning on using a lot of complex vector artwork. of course.

    • But you STILL have to export eventually in raster form. I mean, it's not like they can pass around Photoshop files!monospaced
    • PSD and PDF save text as vectorsfadein11
    • Or am I missing something? Does a Photoshop PDF preserve font outlines?monospaced
