Expand creative horizons with the full arsenal of the Adobe Creative Suite
Many photographers are familiar with the extraordinary capabilities of Photoshop, from the array of masking techniques to preparations for the web and digital output. However, in addition to Photoshop, Adobe’s Creative Suite contains an arsenal of other programs allowing photographers to expand their creative horizons to include printed promotional materials, logos, identities, illustrations, web and e-mail graphics, even interactive documents and portfolio presentations. This hands-on workshop gives the participant an overview understanding, with sample exercises, of the latest features of Adobe CS software including Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, and Bridge.
