Alpha channel is a graphics and music term. We'd like to think it's also a communication term. While we know you get your news many places, we hope we'll be one of your alpha channels for all things desktop publishing. Enjoy!

Adobe� to Stop Selling Boxed CD Sets
of Software Effective May 1st
Adobe, the maker of popular products like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Premiere, After Effects and Acrobat is ending the sale of physical discs in stores at the end of April, according to reports by several websites. In chatting with Adobe representatives today they would neither confirm or deny that plan. Here's a link to just one of the articles we've read. If true (and we suspect it is), all customers will be required to download the software they purchase. Some will take hours to download because they are complex, large programs.

New Book Release
Brainstorming Unleashing Your Creativity to Think Outside the Box
Turn your brainstorming sessions into profitable gatherings instead of a waste of time and resources.
This book provides ideas, step by step instructions, and checklists to make your next brainstorming session more productive and profitable.
Initially released as a booklet about brainstorming, Sandy significantly enhanced the content for the book edition. The biggest changes were the addition of checklists, a Brainstorming Guidelines handout that can be copied for participants, and a new section on various brainstorming techniques that go beyond the basic formula.
You can check out the contents of the book here or purchase a copy here or here. |
