Your Industry Changed (Again) Yesterday

by Patric King October 4, 2011

So everyone heard that Adobe introduced some new tools for us to merrily sink our cash into, yes? Good! Let’s talk about the astounding changes in business that are happening to us right now, and seemingly every week. But first, I’d like you to read something from Clay Shirky wrote in April of last year: [...]

Updates from Adobe, Errors from Apple

by Patric King September 26, 2011

Couple of quick things today. Firstly, Adobe’s released beta version 3 of Muse, their site builder for designers. The download is here, and as stated previously, it’s free until its official 1.0 release. There are significant fixes in how the application renders code, so anything you build will be more readily accepted on a modern [...]

Following Up From Yesterday

by Patric King September 7, 2011

Yesterday, David Ramos commented upon my conversation with Adobe’s Lea Hickman: Design curricula are failing to teach students how to work programmatically, and the best response, then, is to make software that tries to compensate for designers' lack of knowledge? I can't agree. ...and I couldn’t agree more. In fact, that’s the actual reason I [...]

Adobe Wants You on the Web. Now.

by Patric King August 15, 2011

Adobe’s just released a beta of a cute new design tool for the web aimed squarely at you guys who aren’t interested in coding, called Muse. It touts itself as “code-free website building,” but I wouldn’t really go that far. It’s more like websites for designers who don’t care about code. The code itself is [...]

Today's Obsession: CSS Regions

by Patric King May 11, 2011

Adobe made a move I totally wouldn’t expect from them yesterday—they contributed an idea to the W3C for the official CSS3 specification everyone would use to validate their code. Adobe’s not engaged the web community in any meaningful way, ever, so this is a major step forward for their behavior. The addition they proposed is [...]

Today's Obsession: Creative Suite 5.5

by Patric King April 15, 2011

Now that the dust has begun to settle over Adobe’s new pricing model, let’s have a lookie-loo at CS 5.5’s internal changes. A point upgrade from Adobe is a weird thing, and the last Creative Suite release to do that was CS 2.3, around the time they ate Macromedia. That release came bundled with Dreamweaver [...]

Today's Obsession: Money

by Patric King April 12, 2011

I'm sure that, by now, most of you have heard that Adobe has released Creative Suite 5.5, and that it's a point upgrade—not CS6. But there are some not insignificant features to be discussed there. Rather than looking at the technology (which I'll get to later this week) I'd like to talk about the upcoming [...]

Today's Obsession: Scriptographer

by Patric King February 2, 2011

If you’re into generative art, and more specifically Scriptographer for Illustrator, which lets you use pre-made JavaScript files to create generative works inside Illustrator, there’s a great new Voronoi tool which lets you create lovely cellular structures. In a real-world practical application, the structures look like clusters of connected soap bubbles or cobblestones matched by [...]

Today's Obsession: Martha on the iPad

by Patric King November 11, 2010

If you’re paying attention to digital publishing for iOS, you know that Adobe’s recently released the Digital Publishing Suite in beta for InDesign. I spoke about this briefly last week. When I reviewed CS5 a million years ago, I was confused as to why inDesign seemed to have interactive capabilities (and remember, this was before [...]

Today's Obsession: Publishing for the iPad

by Patric King November 3, 2010

Last week, Adobe released beta versions of a very interesting set of tools for InDesign—a Digital Publishing Suite for designers developing for the iPad. It's available now at Adobe Labs. (One caveat: It's in beta, so go into it understanding that beta means things may be a little buggy here and there.)
