The review for Adobe CS5 Design Premium is pending. Please see the review for Adobe CS4 Design Premium below.Adobe CS4 Design Premium bundles a great Flash update, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat 9 together. Designed specifically in mind for those serious about graphic design, CS4 Design Premium contains nearly every tool possible for editing digital images and layouts for print and the Web, as well as for crafting interactive animation and desktop applications. With CS4, it's easy to bring your best ideas to life in a powerful, flexible, intuitive, and tightly integrated creative environment.
If you don't need video editing, this is the better and cheaper choice over the Adobe Master Collection. InDesign can be used for print, Dreamweaver and Fireworks for dynamic Web design, Flash for animation, and Photoshop and Illustrator for pixel and vector graphics. You could use this software to create a campaign that repurposes the same images and layouts for formats as varied as magazines, posters, t-shirts, Web sites, online games, desktop applications, and mobile devices.
Plus, Adobe CS4 Design Premium has unified the interfaces of all the applications for a more seamless experience. Work-space adjustments to CS4 include panels that are more effective than its predecessor's, and handy pull-down menus with preset styles that enable you to shift among work space layouts quickly. This will help you move naturally and efficiently between production tasks.
