Been working with CS2 for quite some time and was delaying the upgrade just due to knowing the old version so well. I have to say the new stuff is the shiznit.

I wish I would have moved up earlier, so much more options and tweaks.

I've only had the time to play with indesign CS4 so far, but man that is so cool. I love that it snaps whatever object your working with to the different centers that are on the page.

So cool

I agree... I was designing a bottle label for my batch of homebrew, and painted a chunk of the label black. When I was moving the text around, it picked up on the fact that I probably wanted it centered within the black area and snapped it there. Awesome

I would like to see this label.

I can convert the actual label file later (there's a chunk you can't see wrapped around the side) but this is in my photobucket account:

That's quite the expensive piece of software. Good looking label though!

For some of us, it's akin to a plumber's pipewrench or torch...

It's not really made for label design. I have Photoshop (not the whole suite) for photography mostly.

Plus, my university gives screaming deals on Photoshop since a whole bunch of classes require it if you're in the college of arts.

Asked for it at work, all I got was a blank stare. Then I said maybe we can lay-off so & so.
I need to be in management.

Adobe's education discount is ridiculously awesome....all you basically need is a .edu email address.

software mark up is nuts! we just bought 20,000 copies of Corel's video editing software for around $2 each and they sell for $100 normally.

Here's the full label... a graphic artist, I am not. But I tried . Codesigned with Jenn (and she drew the mouse with a Sharpie for me to photograph and manipulate)

The binary reads "East Carolina Pirates"

 

[IH8Rice]

do you see the matrix?

I don't see the matrix... The matrix sees me.

You're such a geek!

'tis true.

 

[drkenan]

"East Carolina Pirates" in binary?!??! That's awesome!

You must be a huge fan. I lived in that god-forsaken town for 18 years.

Not as much as you'd think, but it is my brew for the graduation party so it had to be something ECU related . I didn't form that bond with the university that some people do with their alma mater.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I graduated from there in '92 and have not been back since '94.

We used to call people who went there for school and never left, Greenvillids.

Most Yankees don't. They just come for the great BBQ and lower cost of living.



.....and the pleasure of making fun of Southerners while retaining that smug sense of cultural superiority.

I like the label--good job. How's the beer?

In fairness to ECU, it probably had less to do with the university itself, and more to do with my working 35 hours/week and spending no time on campus that wasn't directly related to my education

The beer is frickin' awesome. I still have one 12 oz. and one 22 oz. left. I was holding off because IAB made noise about visiting the area and I promised him one. Moving to Raleigh in 4 weeks, though, and dusting off the bike. How far are you from Raleigh?

 

[NorseManiac]

Love CS4. Been using for a while now and there were some nice upgrades from CS3.

Just a little over 30 min, my brutha. There's lots of great riding all around the area, and quite a bit more to do than Greenville. You guys will have a great time there, I'm sure.
