Adobe CS3 Design Premium: The Unboxing Ceremony

May 24, 2007

Since a picture paints a thousand words, I’ll let it do the talking:

Adobe CS3 Design Premium

Just one short note: I once wrote that I had to choose between Design and Web Standard, for which I chose Design Standard, but Adobe sent me Design Premium, my ideal choice! I quickly asked Regnard about it and he said, “surprise!” It seems Noel Perlas got surprised himself! Thank you Regnard! Thank you Adobe!

    [...] I recently had the privilege of unboxing one of my most treasured possessions ever: an Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. It’s not a gadget, but it’s tangible, and costs more than any other thing I own (other than Risk, my laptop). [...]

    Yeeeha! The long wait is finally over! :D

    Am doubly happy that you got the Premium edition. I remember you pointing at that in the media kit during the Adobe launch.

    Yesterday, I got good news. Today it’s you. W00t!

    Noel, yes! It’s a very good thing, though, right? Congrats!

    Geo, can’t help it! This is a very expensive toy (or set of toys, actually). I must express the proportional amount of glee and gratitude. Haha. Thank you!

    I’m wondering how much did it cost you? And I’m also wondering if that is also already available in Makati Cinema Square….:)

    Aaron, thanks!

    Deuts, as I mentioned in my previous post (which I linked to), I won it from a raffle in one of the Adobe User Group Philippines meetings (particularly during the Philippine Blog Awards). It’s worth $1,799 I think.

    Mike Lao, thanks! It was exciting. :D

    [...] This was the first time I put my Adobe CS3 to the test. And not just Photoshop, but Flash. I’m not a Flash expert, mind you. I struggled a bit with getting it to load URLs, and the fact that we made no less than a dozen minor revisions to the site design did not help. It meant opening up these two programs too often for my own good. Importing PSD layers into Flash was good, but would’ve been better if transparencies were retained. [...]
