Adobe releases Photoshop CS3 BETA via Adobe Labs

Wietse Veenstra — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 08:47:58 +0000

Last week, Photoshopuser.com posted a review of the new Photoshop CS3 which is now available for download from the Adobe Labs website.As with every new release, this one comes with a lot of cool new features. One of the major differences seems to be the user interface. This new version is probably the most customizable interface of Photoshop yet.Users who get scared by this idea, don’t worry. You can switch back to the ‘old’ Photoshop layout with one click on a button, but the new interface is certainly worth a try and once you will get used to it you probably don’t want to change back to the ‘old’ layout. For a full list of new features, check out the Adobe Labs website or read the full review @ Photoshopuser.com.

Functional Design 2.0

Wietse Veenstra — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 15:30:29 +0000

We are already working on the functional design for 2 weeks now. I’m really bored with making sketches in Photoshop and describing them in Word. For the CMS, this will result in a document of about 80 pages. In my opinion this is dull, totally not functional (who will read the functional design during the building process) and a waste of time. A better way to make a functional design is by building some real mock-ups of the final product and adding a little text to describe in detail. This way, the design will show possible problems which would otherwise occur during the building-fase. Plus it looks better when you can present a working mock-up version instead of some static sketches. Today we received an email of our group member Lisette. She informed us that last week, she decided to discontinue her pursuit of a multimedia career with us. She quits the study on our school. Now I’m going further with my preparation for next Fridays assessments. Ciao!

Capt. Photoshop

Today I started with some hard work (yeah I was sweating!) in the garden. It needed to be done after some time of neglect. After that I started working on the graphical mock-up of the CMS we have to build for Mjuks. It’s becoming really nice I think. Happy so far. Last Friday my laptop again broke down with exactly the same problem as before. It has been up and running for a whole week! Damnit! So today I called the company that fixed it again and they will fix it again and test it more intensively this time. But I’ll be laptopless again for about 3-4 weeks now… It sux.

Graphical design

Wietse Veenstra — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 20:24:00 +0000

It’s been a while but it’s also been a busy week. We finished our work on the graphical design. After we created a sketch for the new Mjuks website we all made a graphical sketch in Photoshop. Mine appeared to be best so we discussed it and agreed on some little things that had to be altered. So now it’s finished and we can present our design to Mjuks next Tuesday during the presentation.
