With savings of up to US$299, the new product configurations are: the Adobe Design Bundle that combines Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium with Flash Professional 8 software; the Adobe Web Bundle that brings together Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium and Studio 8; and the Adobe Video Bundle that delivers Adobe video solutions coupled with Flash Professional 8. The Adobe Design Bundle and Web Bundle are available for purchase today and the Adobe Video Bundle is expected to ship in early 2006. Adobe Creative Suite 2, Adobe’s video tools and Studio 8 are software solutions that contain relied upon creative and web development tools, such as Adobe Photoshop® CS2, Adobe Illustrator® CS2, Adobe InDesign® CS2, Adobe Acrobat® Professional 7.0, Adobe Premiere® Pro, Adobe After Effects®, Macromedia Dreamweaver® 8 and Flash Professional 8. "Whether producing a Web site, interactive content for a cell phone or a corporate brochure, our customers change the way the world looks everyday, with work that ensures communications, brands and products stand out from the crowd," said Shantanu Narayen, president and chief operating officer at Adobe. "Adobe’s new Design, Web and Video Bundles harness the power and global reach of Flash and PDF technology to deliver engaging content and digital experiences, to the widest possible worldwide audience. Our development teams are just beginning to explore the massive potential for integration and innovation as they start work on a new generation of solutions."
