Design, web and video bundled for interactive experience

Close on the heels of Adobe completing its acquisition of Macromedia, the company has launched three bundles combining the design and publishing features of Adobe Creative Suite 2 and Adobe video tools with the interactive power of Flash Professional 8 and Macromedia Studio 8. The software bundles bring together the worlds of print, web, video and mobile devices. Adobe Design Bundle combines Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium with Flash Professional 8 software for creating advanced interactive content. Adobe Web Bundle combines Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium and Studio 8. And Adobe Video Bundle delivers Adobe video solutions coupled with Flash Professional 8. Says Adobe president and chief operating officer Shantanu Narayen: “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.” In a little detail, the Adobe Design Bundle includes Adobe Creative Suite, launched in April last year and including Photoshop CS2, InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2 and GoLive CS2 design tools – along with Version Cue CS2. It also introduces the Adobe Stock Photos service, Adobe Bridge and includes Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
