Editor's Corner: Goodbye to a CreativePro Founder

Last week, we bid farewell to Cindy Samco, our site director since CreativePro's beginning days. Blessed with the ability to focus on niggling details while grasping the big picture, Cindy's influence on the site and InDesign Magazine has gone way beyond back-end tasks.

Happily for us, Cindy shepherded CreativePro through our redesign before she left for a new challenge. In the early stages, she thought a lot about how you might use the site. During the alpha and beta stages, she found hundreds of bugs. If you like what you see today, she deserves a big chunk of your appreciation.

We wish Cindy great success in her new position.
