Adobe unveiling Creative Suite 4
This May, Adobe released limited Beta editions of the forthcoming 4th edition of their Creative Suite. I had the fortune to try out Dreamweaver CS4 and Fireworks CS4. Those who had access to the Beta versions gained some insight regarding the stage of development, but Adobe remained guarded over the planned features of the other CS applications.
Now, Adobe is officially announcing the 4th version of the Creative Suite on September 23rd. Before you all get the wrong idea, this is NOT the release date but rather the official unveiling of the release date along with the feature set and a lot more details about the applications. You can register to view a special web broadcast that will take place on the 23rd.
Photoshop CS4 (codenamed Stonehenge) will apparently support 64-bit systems (at the moment only for Windows). It will also offer a palette of Flash-tools and support the import of 3D wireframe models.
Once I know more, you can read all about it here!
I took it!
This is a no-brainer but….
I know that some of my readers (shame on them) don’t know about A List Apart or the annual Web Design Survey, so I feel obliged to tell you about it.
The web design industry exists for more than a dozen years, yet there is a strange absence of data about our profession. A List Apart is trying to change that. With their second annual survey for people who make websites, you can help them collecting more statistical data. If you’re a web designer of any description, you should fill it out – it only took me a few minutes to do so.
The 2008 survey corrects many of last year’s mistakes, giving more detailed questions for freelance contractors and owners of small web businesses. There are also better international categories (good for me), and many other improvements recommended by those who took the survey last year.
If you, too, are from Europe, here is the current exchange rate: 1 € = 1,54 US $. Remember that you might get 13 or 14 annual salaries.
