Art and Design Resources

Although its name clearly implies a close relationship with photography, Adobe Photoshop is widely used as an illustration and design tool. Photoshop has also excelled as a color separation tool for prepress and photochromy jobs. Cartoonists and Illustrators find the possibility of using pressure sensitive tablets with Photoshop a huge asset. Architects use Photoshop to embellish their perspective drawings. Industrial designers and 3d artists can correct and enhance their 3d rendering. Pixel perfect images are created by icon and web designers. This section is a guide to different art and design resources, such as books, software, fonts, clipart and tutorials to help you to build a creative way of thinking and working.

Adobe Activation? Don't Worry, Be Happy

Adobe Activation? Don't Worry, Be Happy

Category: Design and imaging tutorials

Many people feel that once you pay for a software program, you should be able to install it on any computer you own. But with multiple computers (desktops at work and home, laptop for the road) becoming more common, honest software users are bumping into licenses and activation restrictions that don't share those same feelings.

Adobe InDesign CS2

Adobe InDesign CS2

Category: Design and Illustration software

When Adobe first introduced InDesign a few short years ago, analysts and professional designers expressed skepticism that the software would make any significant inroads into a market that had long been ruled by a few well-entrenched and respected programs. With Adobe InDesign CS2 for the Macintosh, the writing is now clearly on the wall. What was thought to be a pipe dream just yesterday--Adobe InDesign being considered as the standard software package for professional publishers and designers--is today on the verge of becoming a reality. Book, magazine and high-end publishers and designers of all types are making the switch to Adobe InDesign. A glance at the new features that InDesign CS2 brings to the table makes it easy to see why.
