- “Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium gives us the tools to see just how creative we can truly be, all while greatly increasing our overall efficiency.”
- “For instance, InDesign CS4 integration with Flash CS4 Professional saves our Web designers hours of work because I can now accomplish much of what our Web team would have had to re-create for me. This is just one example of how Adobe product integration enhancements result in significant time savings for our workflow, which ultimately improves service to our clients.”
Tim Barber, principal/creative director, Odopod
- “As a digital agency, we’re constantly working on web projects with tight timelines and big expectations. Enhancements in Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium – like improved integration and streamlined user interfaces – help simplify our workflow and let us move seamlessly among software applications, saving us hours each day.”
- “The animation capabilities in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional let us create Web site prototypes with interactivity and motion in the same amount of time as it used to take to create static comps. This enables us to give our clients a feel for the overall brand experience earlier in the process, saving everyone time and money down the line.”
Juan Carlos Pineiro Escoriaza, director, Pure West Films
- “The post-production process for a film typically takes countless hours to complete. With Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, our process is much more streamlined now due to time-saving and competitive features such as Speech Search and Media Encoder.”
