Overview

Design with familiar tools, including InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, knowing you can translate your work smoothly into virtually any medium. With Flash made easier than ever to use, Fireworks added for prototyping websites, and Dreamweaver enhanced for standards-based web production, now you can realize the full promise of cross-media design.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium software is the latest evolution of the ultimate toolkit for creating and producing outstanding design for print, web, interactive, and mobile media. Craft precise page layouts, achieve typographic finesse, create compelling digital images and stunning vector graphics, develop eye-catching web pages and rich interactive experiences, and produce and deliver them all with utmost fidelity using this tightly integrated collection of exceptionally well-crafted tools.

Built to run on the latest Mac and Windows operating systems, this latest version of Design Premium includes exciting new versions of Adobe InDesign CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, Adobe Illustrator CS4, Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro software. Also included in Design Premium for the first time is Adobe Fireworks CS4 software for quickly prototyping websites and applications. What's more, new online services accessed from within Design Premium allow you to search for help from an online community, easily share your screen with colleagues or clients, get color inspiration from your peers, and more easily and efficiently manage day-to-day web content updates.

With Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, you can:

Easily innovate in new creative realms. Design is all about drawing on your ingenuity so that you can communicate, motivate, inspire, and persuade. Brand new tools in Design Premium let you imagine brand new creative possibilities and be confident that you can make them real. Whether it's exploring how to use transparency in Illustrator gradients for complex multi-layered effects, experimenting with easier-than-ever animation in Flash, or achieving exciting new 3D and video effects within the familiar Photoshop environment, Design Premium lets you translate even your most fantastic ideas into reality.

Follow streamlined workflows no matter where they lead. Customer-inspired enhancements and simplified workflows within each Design Premium component make you more efficient at everyday design and production tasks. But Design Premium lets you go far beyond the everyday: With improved integration and more consistent interfaces among Creative Suite components, you can venture into new creative territory while drawing on your existing expertise. Begin the creative process in the design environment you know best (usually Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign), certain that your work can be transferred smoothly to Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, or Acrobat for refinement, packaging, and high-quality output in virtually any medium. Drag and drop a Photoshop PSD file into a Dreamweaver page to create a dynamically linked Smart Object; if the Photoshop source file changes, simply click the Properties panel in Dreamweaver to update the image in the web page. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium makes it truly possible to deliver the complex, consistent, high-quality cross-media campaigns that clients increasingly demand.

Collaborate from down the hall or around the world. Designers never work alone. Whether you're bouncing ideas off of a colleague, polling technical gurus for tips and tricks, or seeking concept approval from clients, you need convenient tools for eliciting feedback, finding help, and streamlining creative reviews. Design Premium enables you to communicate in a variety of ways without ever leaving your computer—or even the software you're using. Use a new online service, Adobe ConnectNow (a service of Acrobat.com), to collaborate live with colleagues and clients near and far by sharing your screen right from within your design software. Take advantage of an extensive community of Adobe experts by searching Adobe-endorsed technical content directly from within Design Premium—no more sifting through bottomless forums or endless, irrelevant web-search results.
