CS4 Production Premium Suite, for web design.

Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Production Premium, Soundbooth

One of the great keys for success is to be tooled up for the job!

Receiving the CS4 Production Premium Suite from our local design group sponsored by Adobe has been somewhat of a dream. With a background in photography I am certainly enjoying the features in this updated edition. Having this to work on at home has been a huge plus in how much I was able to glean from the class I recently completed at one of our local colleges.

One of my current projects is developing an online magazine for the local art community. The other programs featured in this suite are EVERYTHING I could have dreamed of to make this a reality. So now I am working fast and furiously to learn all I can about the tools that I have through our design group, the books I have purchased to go with each of the programs included in the suite, the online forums that I am involved with, the upcoming classes I will be taking and the networking opportunities afforded from each of these outlets.

In talking with professionals in each of the categories that I am pursuing they all say the same thing: THESE ARE THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE. So even though I have much to learn I can already see that this is an amazing collection that will continue to open many doors for me to become successful. Aside from individual functions that I am learning I have already seen that there is no substitute for the integration of the programs working together that may not be available through a collection of mismatched software claiming to do the same thing.
