Introducing the
Adobe Creative Suite
T
he Adobe Premium Creative Suite is composed of several pro-
grams designed to work together to accomplish all your publish-
ing needs for output to print, screen viewing, and Web hosting.
Instead of marketing the individual program components of the
Creative Suite, Adobe Systems has spent much of its marketing effort
targeting the entire Creative Suite to design professionals.
This chapter offers a description of the Creative Suite programs and
gives you an idea of how they work together. In this chapter, you
learn about the purpose of each program and the relationship each
program has with other members of the Creative Suite team. In addi-
tion, you receive a brief summary of new features contained in the
latest releases of the individual programs.
Why Creative Suite?
Each program in the Creative Suite version 2 is an upgrade from the
CS1 applications, and each is available for upgrades individually. So,
why is Adobe Systems spending so much marketing effort informing
users about the benefits of the Creative Suite? And why talk about the
Creative Suite as a single entity when users are likely to upgrade the
individual software programs in their design studios? These may be
the first questions on your mind as you see the advertising for Adobe
imaging product upgrades.
The answer is that Creative Suite is a single design solution where the
whole is greater than its parts. For years, Adobe Systems built appli-
cations on programs like Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign with
core PDF technology. These programs evolved with common ele-
ments so that you, the creative professional, could easily exchange
files among Adobe programs.
Rather than rely on a single program to perform tasks such as illus-
tration, layout, and printing, Adobe offers you several applications,
each a tool designed for a specific purpose to help you become more
efficient in your creative process. These tools seamlessly integrate
into the greater toolbox called Adobe Creative Suite. After working in
individual programs, you can collect the creative elements together
using Adobe Bridge and Adobe InDesign CS2 as the tool to perform
layout assembly. You can then travel to output by exporting files to
PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat, or you can host parts of your lay-
out on a Web site using Adobe GoLive CS2.
