Adobe Digital Publishing Suite

Vorteile: THis allows us to send camera ready ads to the news paper. THis allows for 100% accuracy and not relying on people at the paper to complete our ad and potentially report incorrect information. Previously we sent individual modules and they had to be hand delivered and created at the paper. This allows for ad creation to be done in house and loaded into the cloud

Nachteile: It's complex if you don't have formal training. Can create issues because of the abundance of "buttons" and options. It's extremely complex. But I guess too many features isn't necessarily bad.

Vorteile: I love everything about using their suite of software for my business. I've been using Adobe since the early 90s when they first launched software for Mac only. Once you know how to use it, it will be everything you need for digital and print publishing.

Nachteile: Once they turned to subscription base, they lost me as a customer. The software is great and it's the industry standard, but you're held hostage. The updates started to become useless and they would have done better keeping the software simple, buyable, and working on other options for growth.

Kommentare: Great for publishing booklets, programs, flyers, posters, etc.

Vorteile: Primarily use the InDesign program and PhotoShop. Both are learned, versatile and very functional; user-friendly (particularly for InDesign) is what comes to mind. Photoshop (and Bridge) have recovered and improved images that would otherwise be unusable. Am less familiar with Ai but it also seems to be a very robust program!

Nachteile: Sometimes have a difficult time knowing how to ask it to do what I want. Many features to be aware of and there are likely some functions that I'm not even aware of!

Vorteile: I'm assuming the Digital Publishing Suite includes InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Pro. These are all the publishing industry standard applications. The fact that they are all made by Adobe means that moving from one application to the other is seamless and smooth. They are made to work together.

Nachteile: The price is a little high especially now that you can't just buy these applications you have to buy the entire Creative Cloud. The learning curve is pretty steep too.

Vorteile: This is the industry standard! No matter what industry, a designer of any kind can make use of this software. All pieces of the suite integrate well, and the addition of CC libraries is a game changer.

Nachteile: Price! The price can be hard to handle as Adobe software is expensive. It's sad to see young creative professionals being priced out of a platform that is pretty much a requirement in the industry these days.
