AdobeMAX!

Posted by Kirsten on October 18, 2011 in Adobe, Design, Software

Adobe announced a LOT of things at AdobeMAX this year!

The  new “Creative Cloud”

The idea behind this is essentially to make Adobe into the central hub of your creative life. I’m a regular Dropbox user and it makes having all my files on all my devices at the same time really easy. This works along the same lines… start a file on your tablet, save to the cloud, walk to your laptop and keep working on the same file. Lots and lots of synching.  Creative Cloud is a hosted service with a subscription going live in November with 20 GB storage to start.

There are three parts to the Cloud:

Part One  – Apps

Along with a cloud subscription of the Creative Suite (the programs will be saved locally), these are also six flash-based touch apps

• Photoshop Touch – scribble selections are ok,  tilting layers in space is awesome!
• Collage – one word…  moodboards
• Debut  – Presenting your mockups has never been easier
• Ideas – finger painting taken to a whole new level
• Kuler – the mobile love child of Kuler.adobe.com
• Proto – really USEFUL interactive wireframer for websites –mock up the site,  create a zip with assets, open in Dreamweaver and apply CSS = done!)

Part Two – Services

• DPS Single edition – publish something to the iPad
• Typekit – show every font in every browser
• Business Catalyst – Create sites for your clients complete with hosting and lots of bells and whistles

Part Three – Community .

• An inspiration gallery and support hub

Oh, and that’s not all…

• Edge
• Muse
• PhoneGap

This is really a quick and dirty overview. For more information, check out these links…
