Creative Suite Integration: Print project Workflow

Overview: "It’s already a major accomplishment if you’ve mastered any one of the many applications in the Adobe Creative Suite. It’s quite another to know how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Professional, and Adobe Bridge together effectively and efficiently. In Creative Suite 2 Integration: Print Project Workflow , veteran graphic designer Ted LoCascio guides you through designing and producing a promotional brochure from start to finish. He shares expert techniques for the creation of individual elements in Photoshop and Illustrator - photographs, illustrations, and information graphics - and then brings the project together by importing and laying out these elements in InDesign. Once finished, Ted reveals how to best prepare and manage a design review with a client using Adobe Acrobat Professional. Exercise files accompany the training videos, allowing you to follow along and learn at your own pace."
