Getting to the idea is the hard part

In the middle of the

night, while driving
home, or even in the
shower. Great ideas
can come at any time.
And when they do,
you’ll be ready.
Bring your ideas to life

Behind every great idea, you’ll find a few moments of illumination and countless hours
of hard work. But it takes more than just inspiration and effort to realize your ideas.
Now, more than ever—in a world filled with an overwhelming array of new challenges,
new media, and new technologies—you also need tools that give you the power to
control the creative process so you can communicate with clarity and precision.

Simply put, you need the right tools at the right time. Your insights have enabled us
to develop a creative environment designed to help you get more out of your ideas,
more quickly. Extensible and based on open standards, this creative environment
is enhanced by a robust network of print service providers, systems integrators, and
plug-in developers, all dedicated to helping you take your ideas further.

As creative outlets and opportunities explode, your ideas will play a critical role
in defining the next wave of communications, infusing commerce, culture, and
creative exchange with the power of good design. But where will your ideas take you?
Although the possibilities are almost limitless, one thing is certain: Adobe is committed
to developing the best possible solutions to help you refine and perfect your ideas—
today and into the future.

MEDIUM Footwear, Santa Barbara, California, USA
MEDIUM runs on ideas
Founded by designers from Nike, DC Shoe
Company, and Simple Shoes, MEDIUM Footwear
makes quality, style, and attention to detail
top priorities. To realize and communicate its
ideas, MEDIUM relies on Adobe Creative Suite
software for everything from designing shoes
to creating catalogs and Web sites.
“Adobe Creative Suite allows me to be creative
in a million ways and work efficiently,” says
Tu Pham, MEDIUM’s art director. “The smooth
integration between Illustrator,® Photoshop,®
and InDesign,® is crucial because I’m always
working in all three at the same time.”
At MEDIUM, designers start by tracing shoe
parts in Illustrator. They then generate realistic
colored renderings in Photoshop, depicting
specific color options for each shoe. When they
are ready for review, designs are converted to
Adobe PDF and e-mailed to designers or posted
to the Web using Adobe GoLive® software.
When shoes are ready for the marketplace,
MEDIUM relies on InDesign for printed
marketing materials and GoLive for creating
and updating the MEDIUM Web site with its
latest offerings.
According to Kevin Milden, MEDIUM’s executive
producer, “With Adobe Creative Suite, we can
further maximize our productivity and improve
the quality of our designs. The speed increases
and enhanced features enable us to take
steps out of our workflows. Any application
that reduces a task from hours to minutes
is a huge deal to us.”
 The next step in creative workflow

In today’s fast-paced world, it is your ideas that will make the difference—and capturing
and communicating those ideas with simplicity and power are more important than ever.
To succeed, you need tools that bring that same level of simplicity and power to your
workflow. Adobe Creative Suite 2, our next-generation design environment, integrates full
new versions of Adobe’s professional design tools, improving your workflow by reducing
the technical distractions that can slow you down.

Within the Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium environment, you can give form to your ideas
in Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2, and then deliver them across print, Web, and mobile
media using InDesign CS2 and GoLive CS2. Adobe Creative Suite 2 also includes Adobe
Bridge, a radical new dashboard for productivity that provides cutting-edge file browsing
and integrated access to Adobe Stock Photos, a new stock photography service that offers
one-stop shopping for high-quality images. As your projects progress, Version Cue® CS2, an
exclusive feature of Adobe Creative Suite 2, helps you manage file versions with exceptional
ease and control. And when it’s time to share your ideas, Adobe Acrobat® 7.0 Professional
software offers robust review and commenting features, in addition to a complete set of
preflighting and print production tools.

Adobe Creative Suite 2 is also built around industry standards—including XHTML, CSS,
and SVG-t—to help you keep pace with emerging wireless media and ensure that you stay
prepared for the future. So no matter where your ideas take you—be it in print, Web, mobile,
or to some entirely new frontier—Adobe Creative Suite 2 incorporates everything you need.
