Suite and Complete
The ultimate design bundle has just been released: Adobe’s Creative Suite, in both Premium and Standard editions. Built especially for Mac OS X and optimized for the Power Mac G5, Creative Suite Premium and Standard run for $1,230 and $950, respectively.
Included in the Standard Edition are Adobe Photoshop CS (8), Illustrator CS (11), and InDesign CS (3). In addition to those, the Premium Edition includes Acrobat Professional CS (6) and GoLive CS (7). And, as always, there’s an upgrade, only available for the Premium Edition, which runs for the fair price of $750.
Also worth mentioning, the new packaging design is quite awesome – silhouettes of vibrant, flowery photographs.

Sunflower Swirl
I created this image a few months ago, but I really like it and, therefore, thought I would share it. I created it in Photoshop 7, and although I don’t remember the exact process, here’s a brief summary of the steps I took to create it.
- Follow the steps of carbonfour.com’s
Starburst tutorial. - Change the Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation until the desired colors are met.
- Filter → Distort → Twirl
- Use a few standard filters to create a glassier and softer effect.
- Continue to play with the Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, and other color tools until the final image is achieved.
Hm… not the best explanation, but it’s hard to say exactly because it was mostly experimentation. Anyways, enjoy!
