Graphics Design Defined

When considering the question, “what is graphics design” I’m reminded of the movie Groundhog Day, where the camera man tells a would be female companion, “you know, people think I just take a camera and point it at stuff, but there’s a lot more to it than that.” The same goes for graphic design. Take a look at the video these guys put together. I can’t say that I’m excited about their choice of background music, but the meat is there anyway. Good job dude.

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Announced

Adobe has at long last announced Creative Suite 5 and furnished specifics regarding its innovative new features.  The new Creative Suite 5, along with the various programs inside it, is supposed to deliver within thirty days.  It doesn’t seem like that long ago that I got CS4, but here we go again with a new and improved Creative Suite of products.  Here are just a few of the benefits of going with the new upgraded version.

New CS5 Features
Creative Suite 5 programs, for the very first time, incorporate access to Omniture technologies–Web tools which capture, store, and evaluate information and facts created by World-wide-web sites and some other sources.  Creative Suite 5 Design Premium will additionally integrate with Adobe CS Live, a brand-new collection of services which Adobe claims will speed up crucial elements of the creative work-flow and allow designers to concentrate on making their finest work.  Furthermore, Creative Suite 5 introduces Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5, a new design tool which enables you to generate web application interfaces without the need for writing code.  Creative Suite 5 delivers complete version upgrades of flagship creative tools, as well as features integration with on-line content and digital advertising and marketing measurement and optimization abilities along with technology from Adobe’s purchase of Omniture.

Are you buying CS5?
Creative Suite 5 builds on the user interface improvements brought in by its predecessor to draw the integrated tools even closer together, with a stronger emphasis on the designer workflow, while at the same time incorporating around two hundred and fifty fresh features to the bundle. I’ll give them a little time to get the bugs worked out, but in the meantime I’ll be saving my pennies so that I can add CS5 to my own suite of design tools.
