S’up My Graphic Groupies. I had to get this out into the public so I could be all cool and insider. Information released today from Adobe Systems.
Adobe Flash CS5 has been annouced as a free beta version for people to try out until the end of the year. Of course Flash CS5 was on display at Adobe MAX 2 weeks ago and as you might now is everywhere on the web and has many different applications. Get in Line now.
In other breaking news, Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta was released to the public today. Unless you’re really into digital photography, you might not know that Lightroom is essentially an application that offers a number of darkroom functions as well as provides a method to organize and showcase your photos.
Thats all for now.

Looking for something to do this weekend?
Want to take a vacation
and be able to write it off as a business trip next year.
Have I got two events for you. The first is Adobe’s own MAX convention. It will be taking place Oct 4-7 in Los Angles California.
What is Adobe Max? From the Max web site “Adobe MAX 2009 is the annual global Adobe conference for forward-thinking designers, developers, and decision-makers.” Its a large conference that does tend to learn towards Flash & Web development but it is also a great place to network, meet people in the field, and just see the newest and the coolest in Web apps as well as the tools that go into making them. While a tad on the pricey side, you will also get to see the new Web big thing for next year Augmented Reality.
One of the big reasons I’m presenting it here in my blog is that there will be some online coverage of the conference that will cover topics like
- Photoshop Tips and Tricks,
- How to code using Flex
- CSS tips and tricks.
- The CS4 Evangelist Shootout.
That last one will be the one I will definitely be watching. There is no cost to you but I would imagine that there will be some advertising to watch before the show.
The other event is also this weekend would be The Napp produced Photoshop World. It runs Oct 1-3 in Las Vegas.
Photoshop World runs a conference twice a year(maybe 3 times) and offers any number of seminars and group lectures on Photoshop hence the name as well as the other programs in the CS4 suite of programs.
- They offer free portfolio reviews
- as well as the Guru Awards
- a Keynote address from the Senior Vice President of Adobe to top it all off.
If you’re running low on cash there is the 2 day free expo hall full of vendors, exhibitions and demonstrations.

I’m back people. I’m rested and refreshed and I have a new plan to bring the word of Adobe Creative Suite to you. In a hundred and 44 characters or less here is the plan.
I’m going to write less and do more. The End.
Everytime i wanted to blog about something. It either got bogged down in paragraphs of explanation or I’d see something and go OOOOHH, ( hey its a manly sound. Back off) This would be great for the blog. Later I’d look at it and said well its cool but its really not about Illustrator. So the answer hit me. A friend( his name is Doug ) and I were talking about how to make a drink he makes that was dubbed as Doug Drink ( its awesome, will lay you out and it taste like Lemonade with a strong bite ).
While i can’t tell you whats in it, Its Need to know Only and guess what? You don’t don’t need to know. Anyway, He was talking and pointed out that what was more important then exactly how it was made was what the final product tasted like and did it do its job. So later after I climbed off the bar, It occurred to me that this was it. I had talked to Yoda ( OK, it was Doug with a yoda mask on. JEEZ people) and he had shown me the light. It was all about the sum total and not the parts.
So starting now, I will be writing less about the how tos and writing more about doing and if that means talking about something other then Adobe Illustrator that’s ok because its all about getting the job done and looking sharp.
VIVA LA Revelation because it all starts with the learning. Art

New session for Intro to Illustrator is starting up. Here is to hoping they are as creative and challenging as the previous class. Cheers.
Alumni of the Class don’t forget we can still keep in touch though the magic of the internet. Stop by and say Hey !
I’m on Twitter, you can follow me at fxart_LVSonline as I ramble on about Illustrator and Photoshop as well as movies and other topics.
I’m also on Facebook. Art’s Page
A couple of updates,
I finally did find how to turn off the Twitter daily log function. So to my subscribers sorry again if I was filling your mail with my words of not quite wisdom from Twitter.
I working on an advanced Illustrator class. We’ll be talking about the Effects and filters more with a look at the 3d effect ( which as the name implies is only a Special Effect ). We’ll be talking about Layers and I’m going to to try and have more projects and less talking. So be on the look out. My target is for the session starting in September. LVS doesn’t have a summer session. So rise up in revolt and demand your new class. Unfortunately it will still be September. I write slow.
Best wishes in these tough financial times. Art

Sorry to my subscribers and readers. I was trying out the twitter tools plugin for my blog and I thought I had turned off the Twitter page updates but apparently not. I think I got it this time.
