Vector illustration software
Adobe Illustrator is such a mature product and has been so fixed in its ways for so long that I never expected Adobe to take it any further than it's already been. The last time I reviewed a major upgrade of the software (version 10), I explicitly told you that the most you could expect out of future updates would be improvements under the hood--tweaks to the workflow, improvements to existing features, etc. But I was wrong, and Illustrator CS has shown me just how much a mature application can still grow.
A guide to our first year's worth of goodies
This week we published our fifty-second collection of downloads in our weekly series of tools and utilities for creative professionals. Since, as of this writing, we have no one central repository for all of these items, and since hunting through our archives can be somewhat daunting, it seems appropriate to organize the last year's efforts into a single, easily browsable index. Here it is, along with links to downloads we've provided this year outside the realm of the Weekly Download series, but free nevertheless.
Creating a frost effect in Maxon Cinema 4D and Greenworks XFrog

12 seamlessly tiling patterns
We arrive now at the fifty-second installment in our series of weekly downloads, a full year's worth of free goodies to help you get your job done more quickly and creatively and to give you just that much more of a reason to buy another hard drive. This week we have a collection of tiling patterns for Adobe Photoshop, varying in style from rough stone to complex, decorative effects.
Microsoft's rumored 'Flash Killer' and why you shouldn't fret too much
The last couple of weeks have brought a lot of news and rumors about Flash, with the funny thing being that surprisingly little of it actually had anything to actually do with the Macromedia product itself. The long and short of this recent Flash flurry is that a lot of it points, either directly or indirectly, to the emergence of yet another "Flash Killer," this time with our fine friends in Redmond driving the bus.
