Meeting details
On October 16, 2008, get ready to meet Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, the ultimate toolkit for today’s designer. This comprehensive new release will help you -- help us all -- deliver innovative ideas in print, web, and mobile design.
You’ll find that Creative Suite 4 is full of new features designed to make you more productive by speeding you through functions and helping prevent mistakes.
Be among the first to learn about new InDesign features, such as Live Preflight, the customizable Links panel, Conditional Text, and Export to Adobe Flash CS4. Photoshop users will love live, nondestructive corrections with the Adjustments panel, Enhanced Auto-Align, Auto-Blend, and new 360° panoramas. Illustrator artists will enjoy multiple artboards, transparency in gradients, and the Blob Brush tool. And everyone will appreciate the enhanced universal user interface and the tight integration among the Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Even if your heart is in print design, you’re probably finding yourself drawn into the ever-expanding creative possibilities of delivering content to the web. Creative Suite 4 enables you to cover the gamut, from print to web to video, starting with what you know and venturing as far as you want -- even “uncharted territories” will look ever more familiar -- before handing off to a web developer or a video producer to create truly rich, interactive documents. You’ll be able to explore new creative territory, take advantage of simplified workflows, and collaborate in new ways with colleagues and clients near and far.
Tim Plumer from Adobe will be on hand to demonstrate the new features and to answer questions. Among the powerful new features of InDesign CS4, Tim will cover:
• Live Preflight
• Customizable Links panel
• Conditional text
• Cross-references
• Interactive document design with SWF file export
• Page transitions in SWF and PDF files
• XFL format for export to Flash
• Smart Guides and Smart Spacing
• Spread rotation
• Smart text reflow
This evening, we celebrate the emergence of this exciting new release. But don’t worry -- we’re not abandoning our roots. In future meetings we’ll be back to the “business as usual” of exploring and learning with our favorite tool and seeing how it best fits in with others to achieve our best results. We realize not all of you can or will upgrade the day after this meeting, and we will continue to provide information and inspiration for all versions of InDesign -- what we’ve got as well as what’s ahead.
The evening's refreshments will be sponsored by Howell, Liberatore and Wickham, Inc full service marketing agency in Elmira, NY so each registered attendee will receive one free raffle ticket with additional tickets available for sale.
