Adobe recently released Creative Suite 6 (containing Photoshop CS6,
Illustrator CS6, Indesign CS6, Dreamweaver CS6, and Acrobat X) earlier
this month. After downloading and installing it became apparent that
there is a significant difference between this version and the previous
versions of CS5 and CS 5.5. One of my clients was asking about the
learning curve and where to go learn the new version since she didn't
have the money to pick up the software, install it, and learn it on her
own free time, and learning the software on the job was out of the
question since her company would not spring for the new version. My
suggestion was to take a look at training courses with a company that
offers hands-on training in a classroom environment using the software,
then get the company she works for to pay for the Adobe Creative Cloud
subscription to make it more cost effective for her to get access to all
of the Adobe products including Premiere and After Effects.
The next day, my friend and colleague from Columbia College Chicago, Michael Riordan, mentioned his new training center Digital Design Lab
in Oak Park, Illinois, just outside the city of Chicago that
specializes in teaching Adobe Creative Suite applications. With Mike's
expertise and years of experience in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator,
Indesign, and Quark XPress in agencies throughout Chicago, he has a
skillset that would help anyone in the industry to learn what they need
to stay current on the most recent applications from Adobe.
