We Are Designers

With such a long history of using a sans serif font when referencing the product, usually complimented by the Adobe logo, many designers were shocked by this announcement. Yet many more were shocked by the logo itself.
One reply on Jack Nack’s blog seemed to sum the collective’s thoughts. “Did Microsoft take over creative direction at Adobe?”

creative suite 4 release date

No… I didn’t just buy Creative Suite 3, I have had it nearly two years at this point. Yet I do feel bad for anyone that just bought the Creative Suite 3.3 Design Premium upgrade.

On August 24th I posted that rumors were floating around that Adobe CS4 was going to be previewed at Photoshop World 2008 in Las Vegas. Well today we can all say that rumor is now false.
In my email today I found a message inviting me to a September Adobe Event entitled “It’s going to be brilliant“. Upon following the link I was taken to a site stating the following.

“Are you ready for something brilliant?
Be one of the first to see Adobe©Creative Suite 4 in a special web broadcast on the 23rd of September, 2008.”

Well after reading this, I don’t know a soul who is not going to sign up. Make sure you get in on the reminder as well so you have the chance to preview the next generation graphic suite.
