Creative Pro: An Intimate Look at Adobe's Branding
When I was down at Adobe a few weeks back, I wrote about the graphics used in the launch of Creative Suite 6.
It turns out I'm not the only one interested in the graphic treatments for not only the marketing of CS6, but also in the products themselves. While the periodic table-style icons are essentially the same as the last few versions, the splash screens of the applications are markedly different.
Apparently many of you aren't thrilled with the applications' new looks.

And yes you still have to store it all somewhere!

Creative Pro: Fonts on Friday: Influenced by the '70s
What better time to round up new typefaces than on Friday. Not only is "Fonts on Friday" alliterative, but showcasing new fonts also seems like a good way to end the week.
The fonts featured in this week's installment have a decidedly '70s vibe. The type and lettering of the '70s often had a look and feel that today we might associate with the social change that started in the '60s. Think of the revival of Cooper Black, a chunky face that looks like it had just been liberated from its girdle.

Creative Pro: Adobe Will Fix Security Holes in CS5.5 Apps
Adobe found itself in hot water last week when it announced its plan to help users overcome a security flaw in key Creative Suite 5.5 applications. The solution? Upgrade to CS6.
The applications affected — Flash Professional, Illustrator, and Photoshop — have security holes that let hackers take control of your system after you open a malicious file, for example, a .TIF file in Photoshop. Versions 5.5 and earlier on both Mac and Windows are vulnerable.
