The Conference Comes to You
Last week was the annual Adobe MAX conference. Earlier in its life, it was Developer Techy Geek Heaven, but lately designers have muscled their way into the class offerings and attendance list. This year's designy quotient was at an all-time high, which meant I and the other creative pros there had a great time.
I wish you all could have experienced it, but since my budget doesn't stretch to flying and housing the 100,000+ readers of this weekly newsletter, I'm sharing the next best thing: videos of the sessions.
Go to http://tv.adobe.com/show/max-2011-design for links to more than 50 session videos. Speakers include Jack Davis, Rufus Deuchler, Colin Fleming, Mordy Golding, Matt Kloskowski, and Michael Ninness, among many others, and the topics span a broad range of topics, including the following:
* Adobe Illustrator Secrets
* The Art of Sesame Street
* Beautiful Typography
* CSS for Web and Mobile Design
* Expressive Painting and Illustration in Photoshop CS5
* InDesign CS5.5 Power Shortcuts
* Lightroom 3 Crash Course
* Photoshop CS5 Instant Effects
* Photoshop Power Shortcuts
* Web and Interactive Design with Illustrator
And did I mention that they're free? Click here to see all of the videos.
