Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign – Print Design Guide

Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Print Design GuidePhotoshop, Illustrator and InDesign represent the “big three” of the Adobe Creative Suite—but never assume that one is interchangeable with another.

Use the wrong design program to create a certain element of your artwork, and you might end up with blurry text, sloppy layouts, or a logo that you can never resize without turning it into a pixelated nightmare.

Using all three programs together, however, turns them into the ultimate dream team. You can maximize the strengths of each Adobe product while also minimizing their weaknesses; where one program fails, another can pick up the slack.

Photoshop vs. Illustrator vs. InDesign at a Glance

Which Adobe Program Should You Use for Designing Print Media?

Since each program has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, the one you should choose depends on which part of the print design you’re actually making.

Lake Geneva Summer Camp Presentation Folder (Front View)Lake Geneva Summer Camp Presentation Folder (Inside View)

Using this presentation folder design as an example, let’s break down which Adobe programs (Photoshop vs. Illustrator vs. InDesign) were used to create its various elements.

Designing a Logo: Illustrator

The perfect scalability of vector images makes Illustrator, hands-down, the best program for creating print logos. A logo you create in Illustrator can be imported into a number of different projects and will always print with crystal clarity.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Designing a Logo
Runner-Up: InDesign
If you don’t have Illustrator, InDesign also has the vector tools you need to create a scalable logo. Photoshop can work as a last resort, but keep in mind that the vectors you create will be converted to raster images and you’ll likely see some slight pixelation if you try to reproduce the logo in different sizes.

Drawing Shapes and Graphics: Illustrator

Illustrator is the go-to choice for drawing any shaped visual elements, since vectors can be easily manipulated, altered and resized. Vector illustration can be tricky to learn, but the results are much more professional looking than other hand-drawn options.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Drawing Graphics
Runner-Up: Photoshop
If you don’t mind working in a pixel-based environment, you can achieve similar results using Photoshop. Since not all of your illustrative elements will be reused in other designs, you won’t run into any pixelation issues as long as you don’t have to resize the image.

Adding Filters and Special Effects: Photoshop

Photoshop gives you access to an impressive library of filters and special effects. If you want to give your print media projects that extra level of flair, Photoshop should be your first choice.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Adding Filters and Effects
Runner-Up: InDesign
If you don’t have access to Photoshop, you can add a few limited filters to your photos directly from InDesign. It doesn’t have quite the same scope as Photoshop, but it can handle the basics.

Manipulating Photos: Photoshop

The name says it all—Photoshop has the most tools for manipulating photos, and since photos are created using pixels, you don’t have to worry about distortion. Whenever your print design includes photographs, use Photoshop first to improve the image quality before importing into another program.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Manipulating Photos
Runner-Up: InDesign
Again, if you don’t have access to Photoshop, InDesign can at least handle the basics, like cropping and resizing. It shouldn’t be your first choice, but it’s manageable in a pinch.

Writing Copy: InDesign

If you’re designing a brochure, pocket folder or other print project that has large passages of text, InDesign is very handy for its intuitive word wrap feature. Word wrap helps you easily break up your copy into columns, letting you utilize every inch of canvas space. InDesign also creates crisp, clean text devoid of pixelation.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Writing Copy
Runner-Up: Illustrator
Illustrator can also be used to create smooth, scalable text out of vector shapes, but without the word wrap tools, it can be difficult to create a good-looking layout for text.

Designing Layouts: InDesign

InDesign has all of the best tools for creating complete layouts for print, especially multi-page layouts using its master page system. It can also handle multi-page templates, which makes it easier for you to quickly put together a sharp-looking layout.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Designing Layouts
Runner-Up: Illustrator
Illustrator can also handle multi-page layouts to a degree, but without the master page system, you’ll end up having to do a lot of extra work.

Creating Your Print Ready Files: InDesign

Composing a print-ready folder design in InDesign is a fairly simple affair. It keeps all of the design elements in their original state, so when it comes time to print, you’ll have the most accurate representation possible. InDesign is also better than most other Adobe programs at creating .EPS files, one of the more ideal formats for print-ready artwork.Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign - Making Print-Ready Files
Runner-Up: Illustrator
Illustrator makes a decent second choice for its ability to export accurate print-ready .EPS files.

What About Adobe Fireworks?

Adobe FireworksAlthough Adobe Fireworks is an excellent illustration and photo editing tool, when it comes to designing print media, there isn’t much that Fireworks has to offer over the other programs in the Adobe Creative Suite.

It’s actually something of an amalgam of all three programs—it has layers and photo editing tools like Photoshop, vector illustrations like Illustrator, and the use of master pages like InDesign.

However, Fireworks is primarily for web and digital design, so when it comes to creating print designs, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

We all have our own ways of doing things, and you should ultimately choose the program that best fits you as a designer. In the end, what matters is that your final product is clean, clear and catching to the eye.

Do you have any questions about using Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign for creating print media designs? What have been your personal experiences with using the Adobe Creative Suite for print media? Is there another alternative program that you prefer over these three? We really want to hear from you, so please leave your comments below!

  1. I read your article and thank you very much for breaking it down like that. It begs the question though to clarify: In creating one piece of material (a brochure for example) can different elements be created in the different programs and then be brought together to create the one?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Yes that’s correct. You could retouch photos in Photoshop or create vector graphics in Illustrator, and then incorporate them into a brochure using InDesign.

  2. Ok, I guess the next question would be which program should you use to create the master document?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      It depends on your personal preference, but for a multi-page document such as a brochure, I’d recommend InDesign.

  3. I’ve always thought of Indesign as the “mixing bowl” or container for all your AI and PSD “ingredients”.

  4. baldo patino says:

    just went thru my first magazine designing, printing and sent for print.
    for yrs ive used corel draw and this was a nightmare lol

  5. I am in the process of preparing my book for and it is recommended that I use Photo Shop or InDesign software. The book is in MS Word and would like to know which program would be best. The book has no illustrations or photos, just text. My computer skills are limited, so which do you think would be best and easiest. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, JJ

  6. Thank you for this great summary!

    Regarding Illustrator and Photoshop, I have a question. I am designing UI elements (custom checkboxes, sliders, buttons etc) and am using Illustrator as some of these need to scale. I require a final bitmapped image, however, in PNG format. I have found that illustrator’s export to web png tool seems to do odd things to my circular UI elements, but when I place the illustrator file into photoshop and export to PNG from there it looks great.

    Would this be a proper workflow or should it be possible to produce great bitmapped images from vector source at even the smallest scale (20px X 20px at 72ppi)?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Can you be more specific about the problems you’re having with your UI elements?

    • Hi Tyler, as I can see, the time has been pass since you submit your question.

      To avoid strange results while using Illustrator for web design (or anything else that will be displayed in a screen) I recommend:
      1) New Document
      2) Select “Web” profile in the New Document settings window
      3) In the Advanced section of the same window, check that “Align New Objects to Pixel Grid” is checked.
      4) Go to Illustrator > Preferences
      5) Go to Guides & Grid section
      6) In Grid section, set this settings: Gridline every: “10px”, Subdivisions: “10”
      This will help you to keep an ordered grid and it will provide you with a decimal control when you move your elements across design.
      7) Use exact sizes when design your elements: 1px, 2px, 3px, and so.
      Avoid element sizes with decimals: 1.23px, 5.34px, 81.454px for example.
      I love to use the Control panel to set the element sizes than just drawing it. Lets say that I draw a rectangle with the Rectangle tool using the mouse, then I go to the Control panel just to check or set an exact size avoiding decimals.
      8) When you draw elements that uses odd stroke sizes (1,3,5,7pt…) you will notice that the XY coordinates will show an 0.5 value added to the element location just to assure the element fits right into the pixel grid, so, apply the corrections needed or, in the Stroke panel, set the stroke to align inside or outside your element (by default, this setting is “To center”.
      9) Just to be sure that every element keep a consistent alignment to the pixel grid, regularly use the “Show/Hide Grid” command located in the lower part of the View menu (Cmd+’)

      Using this, when export your elements, they will keep the crisp and clean aspect that they were created.

      Bonus tip, In the past, I used to export my PNG’s by creating Artboards around each element I needed to export, then, I prefer to:
      1) Design each element with exact size in Illustrator
      2) Copy the element
      3) Photoshop > New Document (Cmd+N) > In the New window: Preset “Clipboard”, Color Mode: “RGB Color” > Click Ok >
      4) Paste (Cmd+V) > Most of the time: “Paste as Smart Object” > Ok
      5) When I need to save a jpg > Save for Web (Cmd+Option+Shift+S)
      When I need to save a png > Save as > In the PNG Options window: “Smallest/Slow”

      I hope this helps, sorry about my English, I’m still improving.

    • you can bring your vector art to photoshop from illustrator as smart objects without exporting it to PNG

  7. My 10 year old son is doing a family tree for a class assignment. Would either illustrator or indesign be a good product to use for this? Basically looking to print a poster at Kinko’s with a pix of a tree and names of family member to great grand parents with name DOB DOD, place born.

  8. Judith D. S. says:

    Hello Vladimir! Does your studio use Mac or PC? Thank you.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      We actually use both Mac and PC, whichever our graphic designers feel most comfortable using.

  9. Francis James says:

    Hello Sir Vladimir. I want to know which software is better in creating vector/cartoon art, Photoshop or Illustrator? Thank you.

  10. Hi Vladimir,

    I am wanting to start my own business from home. My main interests are invitations, program fans, cards, sparkler tags, table numbers (basically anything for weddings, parties etc.). I am wanting to create templates that I can use again and again but I will also do custom works when required. I’ve read your article and I am leaning towards inDesign. Is that what you would recommend?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      InDesign is more for multipage tasks, so I wouldn’t recommend it in your case. Do you plan to use vector or raster artwork predominantly? If you’re mostly working with vectors, I’d suggest Illustrator. If raster, you’re better off with Photoshop.

      • Primrose A. says:

        My question is similar to that above. But perhaps I am not understanding the difference between raster artwork and vectors. I am creating a postcard with text over a chevron print pattern. I have a .jpeg of the chevron print that is 329KB.
        Which is better for this?
        Similarly; Subway Art. Which is best? I want to create a personalized 8 x 10 print of encouraging words for my friends in my cancer support group in some fun fonts. (I collect them. Fonts; not friends.)
        Finally, really; just to make a simple black/white “Bake Sale Fundraiser Today” flyer! Which easy button do you press?! Thank you for your assistance!
        P.S. I have Creative Cloud; but seriously, not feeling very creative at all.

        • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

          This might help you figure art if your artwork is raster or vector based:

          • I have a wedding invitation business. I have been using photoshop when creating my designs and it has worked perfectly for me. I use .png graphics and change colors when needed and add the text for the invitations. I am wondering if this is still the way to go or if I should be using illustrator or indesign?

            Also when I do create a text heavy invitation on a white background in photoshop the print quality of the text is low and show the pixels. For those type of invitations which program would be the better option (illustrator or indesign).

            Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

          • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

            Photoshop should work just fine if that’s what you’re most comfortable with.
            If your print quality is low, it’s possible you may need to create your project at a higher resolution. Our print-ready checklist is geared more towards printing folders but you might find it useful:

  11. Hi Vlad,
    I am in the process of designing a book cover for a well known writer. One of my tasks will be to design a realistic looking MOTEL SIGN (old Vegas style). Any suggestions on which programs to use? I really like photoshops effects (glow) capabilities…would I ruin the asset I build in Illustrator if I throw it in Photoshop to do some glow effects?

  12. Hello,

    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 12. I am creating a children’s book and need my RGB files converted to CMYK for commercial printing. Which Adobe application should I upgrade to? I have scans of paintings which I edited in my current Photoshop. Thanks…

  13. Hello Vladimir,
    I’m trying to figure out the most effiecient way to accurately remove the background of hundreds of high resolution images (photographs). The photos range from family photos, flowers, candy…just about anything. I’ve been using Photoshop and a mouse and the select tool, but I’m wondering if you have any suggestions that might help me make the task easier and faster, but just as accurate.
    Thank you for your time.

  14. Commencing business working with Direct printing on to wax candles. personalised candles mainly baby photo’s supplied in Jpeg.
    Is photoshop the program for improving photos ready for printing. use a Epson ink jet printer.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      If I understand correctly, Photoshop would be your best choice for editing JPEG photos.

  15. Hi Vladimir,

    I am planning to make a poster for a conference. What would be the best for that ?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      It depends largely on whether the poster consists of vector or raster graphics. If the design contains photos, you’re better off with Photoshop. If it’s just lines and shapes, use Illustrator.

  16. Leslie Charles says:

    I would like to create printable documents, perhaps as much as 1000 pages long, with numerous illustrations from Photoshop Elements 10 and MS Visio. In addition to the illustrations I also use many footnotes, citations, a bibliography, index, page numbering, and a table of contents. Other things too, but you get the idea.

    Currently I use Word 2010. After about 50 pages (or even 20 pages that contain numerous illustrations) the Word applications becomes very slow to save, open, and manipulate. What do you suggest? What would give me the resources listed above and provide fast saving, editing, and opening?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      You may want to try out InDesign, it’s practically made for multi-page documents with graphical elements.

  17. Cynthia L. Hatcher says:

    Hello Vladimar,

    I took a class in 2009 learning Photoshop. Now I want to create my own book covers. I am a beginner. Which adobe product and version do you suggest for Windows 7 or Windows 8.
    Thank you so much for this help. I really appreciate it.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      You could use Photoshop if the covers are primarily made up of photography elements. If they mostly feature vector artwork, you may want to use Illustrator.

  18. I am going to be designing a print ad for our business that will be used in magazines, among many other things down the road. I am vaguely familiar with photoshop, illustrator, and indesign and need to make the appropriate purchase for what I will be doing. Do I just need one or all? I will be teaching myself how to use these programs through online tutorials.

    I appreciate your help!

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Does the ad consist mainly of photos or vector art? I’d suggest either Photoshop or Illustrator, depending on which type of element will dominate your design.

      • I am starting to create ads that are used in magazines and newspapers. The ads generally use an image from iStockphoto and then I add text/copy onto the image. Given that, what is the best software to use? I’ll be teaching myself – I have some experience with publishing software. Thanks!

        • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

          Either program could do the job, but if you’re usually working with photo-based ads, I’d choose Photoshop.

  19. Couldn’t be clearer. I am in the process of designing a brochure and feel VERY comfortable enough with PS and AI, but I think it is *time* to tackle another learning curve with InDesign. This is ultimately what makes most of us happy at work (well at least myself); the learning curve of mastering something and the never-ending process of learning.

    You sold me with the multiple pages/text options of InDesign. Gonna give it a try. Many thanks!!

  20. Andreas Sieg says:

    I am at first a motion designer, working with After Effects or Premiere Pro. Since two years I am also working on different print projects which complete my portfolio. The projects are always one page layouts, such as medical product packages for pills or eye sprays, posters of the packages for use as banners at medical fairs or print ads in medical related magazins.
    The designs include pixel-pictures from istock footage – for example eyes or faces with eyes, or drops and bubbles. But also vector or EPS logos of the companies. And last but not least standard text for incredients, headlines etc. Output format is always illustrator or PDF format. Is it ok to work with Illustrator or do I have to upgrade to InDesign??

    Thanks for your help, Andy

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Illustrator should work fine. I’d only consider switching to InDesign if you’re creating a multi-page project.

    am in process of designing my website,,,which is the best software for designing the images like header,,,am eager for the answer plz

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      It depends on the type of images. Photoshop is best for photo-based images, illustrator is best for vector artwork.

  22. So hi, I have to create flyers for my customers that they can manipulate on the front end of the site. They should also be able to insert their logo or their unit name into this flyer. We will be creating the initial flyers for them to work from. What do you suggest…Adobe / photoshop or indesign . My daughter who is a designer in NY says indesign…my sister says photoshop..I don’t know what to use. My guy in India who handles the hosting and management of the site will have to put this into the site for me.
    Any ideas

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      If the flyer design consists mostly of vector artwork, I’d suggest Illustrator. If it uses photos, Photoshop is probably a better choice. Otherwise, either program could do the job.

  23. Hi Vladimir

    I currently own Photoshop Elements 10 & 12 and Lightroom 5. Thank you for your article!
    I hope you can help me shed some light. Everything I design is photo based.
    I currently design folded greeting cards and calendars. However, I have been forced to use online websites owned by the companies where I print since I am still a novice. What is provided as templates in Photoshop on cards and calendars is too limited for me.
    However, I now would like to have my independence to be able to design the following (all using photos and add “clip art” type illustrations if required e.g. balloons for birthday card): folded greeting cards, calendars and children’s board books for the young ones and children’s books up to 8 yrs of age.
    I am trying to decide what is the best program or combination of programs to use for the design of all these mentioned items using photos as my main “illustration” on each page.
    Hope you can help me; your input will be greatly appreciated.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Hey Yvonne, sorry for the delay in responding to this (all of our comments have to be moderated manually before they get published).
      Since you mentioned several multi-page mediums (such as books and calendars), I would recommend trying out InDesign. It’s generally the best choice for multi-page documents.

  24. thanks for your nice article . i want to write a book which is having some line diagrammes . i also want to draw some diagrammes for the same .which software do you suggest me for doing the same.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      If it’s a multi-page book, I would suggest using InDesign. You could also use InDesign to create the diagrams, or Illustrator if you prefer.

  25. Caroline Garcia says:

    If I am making fold over greeting cards with about 3 photos and the salutations in font, would you recommend illustrator or photoshop? Does it change if the greeting card has vector handlettering rather than a provided font?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      You can use whichever you’re more comfortable with, but I would recommend Illustrator if your project includes vector art.

  26. This is probably going to be obvious from my comment, but I’m an absolute newbie when it comes to design of any sort. I work as an advertising copy writer, but am looking to start doing design work as well, to expand my own skill set. Would you suggest going about learning the entire Creative Suite simultaneously, or would you suggest beginning with one particular software and then taking it from there? It’d be great to get your inputs!

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      I would suggest learning one program at a time. Start out with whichever program you think you’ll need most often. Photoshop would probably be a good place to start.

  27. i am a complete newbie at photography. I want to edit, combine, and manipulate my pictures. Which version would you suggest?

  28. Hi. I am working on a book project. The book will be 8.5 X 11 inches in size and will be mostly photographs. My question is can I design each page (8.5 X 11″) of the book in Photoshop then import each page into Indesign for the final book layout? Can I create a page in PS that has different layers, including a little text, then flatten it before saving and importing into Indesign?
    Thank you for any help.

  29. Hello Vladimir,
    First, I wish to thank you for the individual descriptions of Photoshop, Illustrator and In-Design within Adobe Suite. I work for a small non-profit office that promotes businesses and tourism in my community. In order to promote events, I must create professional posters/ad campaigns, create vector logos, and have the ability to change jpeg, bitmap, png and pdf logos into vector. Your article is the most informative and helpful thus far. So, my questions are as follow: 1) My thought is that my work requires Adobe Suite (Photoshop – for pictures, layering, etc.; Illustrator – for creating logos into vector; and In-Design – for text). Would this be your recommendation? 2) Where can Adobe Suite be purchased? Creative Cloud is pricey and my supervisor prefers the software to be purchased outright. 3) Is there a thorough online class (for beginners) available for Adobe Suite? If so, please direct me to the source. Thank you. Your assistance is appreciated.

  30. Carol Benito says:

    Hi, I was curious if there was any difference between using the Adobe programs on a mac and on a pc. As a marketer and graphic designer which one would you recommend using?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      There’s not very much difference between them apart from slightly different interfaces. I’d just use whichever you prefer and are more comfortable using.

  31. Conan Of Rottingham says:

    While the Adobe Suite does has a lot more to offer in terms of tools, sometimes people just want a simple program that does it all. I have used CorelDraw Graphics Suite for years and consider myself what one might refer to as a “Jedi Master” at CorelDraw. This program is very underrated, but you can do multi-page documents, vector logo design, link/flow text columns together, adjust photos, remove background color from image files, crop images-vector-text(if converted to outlines), output CMYK/RGB/Grayscale PDF’s, EPS’s, etc. Everything is done within one program without needing to hop from program to program and re-orientate yourself to get a desired effect out of a certain program. I like that fact that you can put together say a 3 panel brochure for example and never leave CorelDraw for anything. Pics, Vectors, and Text are so easy to manage out of this one program.
    There are a lot of strengths and features CorelDraw actually has that you cannot find in the Adobe Suite. But like this article says, each person has different way of doing things and as long as your finished product looks clean, professional, well designed, and meet a print shops specifications I don’t see an issue in using any program you desire.

  32. Hey Vlad,

    So I’ve been working without Adobe Suite, creating flyers, logos, presentations, you name it…all by using either web applications and/or logo software I purchased. I would really like to become a professional graphics designer, and I feel like there are so many apps being developed online that trying to learn Adobe now would kind of be going backwards. Although I wish I was a master at Adobe anything, lol.
    Could you tell me, then, what are the most crucial and beneficial factors Adobe products have that I wouldn’t be able to find online or through other software?
    Also, are SVG files similar to EPS files?

  33. This is so great, I am always fighting for Indesign at my office, so this is a great share. We do a lot of whitepapers, sheets, and print ready material. So thank you, thank youu!

  34. Good day, Vlad. I’m currently working on a poster for school and I’m using Indesign as my tool. This poster contains a lot of words and tables for presentation, so I used Indesign. The teacher wants the output on jpeg and, as I am new to Indesign, I don’t know how to save my work to jpeg.

  35. Hi Vladimir – thank you for the great post. I want to design a label (personalized name label and address label and product label and such). I am rather a newbie and wondering if you have any recommendations about where to start and what to look at with a low budget. I don’t have any design/print software yet and am looking into purchasing or downloading. Do you recommend all three of the software or any one in particular or any others out there?

  36. Firework is a relic of the past now, in my opinion. PS, AI and Id are enough for all the design needs of today. Even the CorelDraw and other tools are not any of use today.

  37. As mentioned above, “Fireworks, is primarily for web and digital design, so when it comes to creating print designs, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table.” This is because Fireworks was created specifically for web designers. It is, for example, excellent for compressing varying transparent PNG-8 graphics into smaller files while maintaining photo clarity against backgrounds of varying colors. Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign cannot compare to Fireworks in controlling the number of transparent pixels in varying transparent PNG-8 compression. A good tutorial on this subject was released in April, 2014 by and is authored by Chris Converse. In his first chapter, “Design the Web: Working with PNG-8” Chris has a section called “Creating Varying Transparent PNG-8 Files.” This section outlines the advantages Fireworks CC has over Photoshop CC in the compression of varying transparent graphics. So yes, I agree, for print design, Fireworks cannot compete with PS, AI, and ID; but Fireworks, maintains a significant advantage over other Adobe software in varying transparent PNG-8 compression.

  38. Thank you for this breakdown, I am not going to attempt to create my first magazine, fingers crossed it works out as I see it in my head.

  39. When does In Design become necessary. I work with clients logos and add text to create printable designs. I currently have Photoshop but see that vector images require Illustrator. At what point would I need InDesign? Thanks.

  40. Hi,
    I’m planning to start an invitation business soon. Mostly focusing on children’s party invatations initially. Which product do you recommend? And does it depend on what type of desktop/iPad/tablet I’m using st the time?

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Either Photoshop or Illustration could do the trick, but it largely depends on whether you mostly plan to use photos or illustrations.

  41. Hi
    I have some drawings in illustrator format but when I save it as .eps file, some of the objects turn black. Why is it so and what can be solution?

  42. K Robinson says:

    Thank you very much for this article. I just received the full Adobe family, and trying to determine what’s best for what project. This completely gave me the information I needed to make the right decision.

    Thank you.

  43. Z Carrie says:

    I am just looking to be able to create event posters and flyers, or other forms of print advertising, and discount coupons. We currently use an out-of-date Print Shop software and it does what we need, but I know there has to be a software that creates better looking print advertising items and is quicker. What might you suggest? Also, I am not a graphic designer and have not been trained to use graphic design software.

    Thank you!

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Hi Z Carrie, that’s a great question. I would recommend InDesign for creating print ads. However, since you’re just beginning your design journey, you may also want to check out Canva. It’s one of the most user-friendly design programs available and has plenty of options to make your ads unique.

  44. Since PS now has vector shapes and type which can easily be one color instead of process now, why can’t I work my flyers/ads/business cards in this program? As long as the file is saved as an eps or pdf, the vectors are maintained. Thanks!

  45. LMahiele says:

    Hi there, I am busy with a mockup of our book. It has one page text and the other page photograph and so forth. I will be using shutterstock book cover and open page book to “showcase” the work. Would it be best to use Photoshop to insert the relevant text and the photos, as it is able to change the perspective of the page, so it does not entirely look like a mockup or would InDesign be best?

  46. Hello, i work in a company which produces dairy products, im a newbie and i want to create single poster ads for facebook and our website. (Knowledge in photoshop, illustrator, coreldraw, soon to learn InDesign)

    Poster includes a photo and text, i use photoshop for the image, should i write the text there too? Then save as png. Text gets fuzzy on website though…

    Also, i need to make a single poster for an ad in magazine, poster is with image and text too. I edit image in photoshop, then should i add it to coreldraw, write the text there and export it for web?

    In wich program should i compine, image, logo and text for single add??
    a) for web b) for printing

    Thanks in advance

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Great question. When you’re designing a poster for the web, it’s perfectly okay to add text to the image in Photoshop and to save as a .PNG.

      Your text problems may be arising from working with the wrong size, settings, or font. Work at the final ad size, and you’ll be able to see what it will look like when it’s done. You can also play around with the text settings in the Character panel. You can choose from None, Crisp, Sharp, Strong, Smooth, etc. Try different text settings to see which one achieves the results you’re looking for. (Crisp is a great choice.) You may also want to choose simpler typefaces, which will render better at smaller resolutions, or choose a font like Verdana that’s especially designed for the web.

      As for print advertising, you’ll want to speak with your publisher to find out about any requirements they have. However, I would recommend against placing an image from Photoshop into Corel unless you’re planning to outline your type, because Corel won’t do anything you can’t do in Photoshop.

  47. Doug Perkins says:

    Which Abode program is similar to “printmaster” program, were I am able to manipulate the text. Some of the text in my logo crosses over one another and are different sizes

  48. I created a book cover using Photoshop with placed vector images (300 pi) created with Illustrator. The color palette is RGB. Text is Times Roman, Calibri and Hobo Std. I flatten the layers and save as a pdf (acrobat 5/PDF 1.4) using Photoshop. Everything looks good on the screen, but when I got my proof back from the printer (createspace) the images and text look fuzzy. It looks like the images and text are underneath the background color. What could be causing this?

    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Hi Antre,

      Your files most likely overprinted. If the layers were set to separate into different print colors and you did not set the placed vector images to knock out the background color, they may have overprinted. Photoshop doesn’t normally overprint, but illustration programs will ignore Photoshop’s layer settings. If your art is set up to overprint in your illustration program, those settings could carry over into Photoshop and ignore Photoshop’s layer knock out default.

  49. Page Godwin says:

    Hi Vladimir,

    What is the typical or best workflow for an entire paperback book project using Adobe products? My Google queries have turned up bits and pieces of info, nothing solid.

    I’ve been using CorelDraw for freelancing work for 4 years but am trying to move to the industry standard so that I will be more marketable in the workforce.

    My current high level workflow is to start with the book cover, lay it out in CorelDraw, create any vector stuff there, import any images and do simple editing to them there, or for extensive editing to images, from within CorelDraw I click on Edit Bitmap which opens Corel PhotoPaint and I do Photoshop-type stuff there, click Finish which saves it to the CorelDraw file. Then for typesetting, use an ISV product but will be using InDesign for that going forward.

    Only because of that workflow did I just assume one would begin a book project in AI, lay out the cover there and go in and out of PS as required, etc., but really, how is it all best done in the world of Adobe?

    Many thanks,

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Great question, Page! You can learn about Adobe Creative Cloud here. Now, let’s jump into the workflow.

      Layout and content: Use InDesign to build a grid, then set up the cover, table of contents, chapters, pages, and placeholders for text and visual content. When you’re ready to add content, you can use InDesign as a word processor. Or, if you already have text in an application like Microsoft Word, flow it into InDesign Layout and style it using Paragraph and Character styles.

      Vector images: Illustrator is your best bet for working with vector art, but you can use InDesign for text-based art since it has powerful text styling features.

      Raster images: Use Photoshop for raster images, then place them in the Illustrator file to combine them with any vector art. Make the raster images a link (not an embed)—this lets you make and save changes in Photoshop, then easily return to Illustrator. (Just a note: Photoshop can also create vector art, so you can use the program you’re most comfortable with.)

      Printing: Talk to your printer when you’re done with the setup. Many will accept a .PDF, which you can export from InDesign. Others will require you to embed linked images and convert text to outlines in Illustrator files to avoid font or linked asset issues. Also ask whether the printer will handle imposition. If you need to do this yourself, you can do so within InDesign or through a variety of imposition tools for .PDF files.

      Learning Adobe CC will take some time. Just remember comedian and actor Steve Martin’s words: “I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.”

      Good luck!

  50. Gabb Roque says:

    Im having a hrad time deciding which one’s better to use in printing.
    My problem is we only have 1 week to finish everything (i am a newspaper graphic artist) and i did everything in photoshop because the newspaper’s appearance is magazine-ish. Should I save every page in tiff format, open it it indesign, then print it using indesign? Some said doing so will shrink (????) the image and/or may result strange appearance.

    Sorry for the bad english :((

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Hi Gabb,

      Both InDesign and Photoshop can be used for printing, so you can choose the program that’s best for you based on your newspaper’s needs. It’s common to prepare art in Photoshop, save it as a .TIF file, and then place it in an InDesign layout for production, as you’ve suggested. Contrary to what you’ve been told, this should not shrink images or alter their appearance.

  51. Peggy Townsend says:

    Hi Vladimir,

    I am interested in creating a soft cover, colorful, small-business directory to distribute in my community. The directory will be the first in my community and will include either a 1/4 page, 1/2 page or full color page ad from each small business. These ads will include color images. However, this will be my first time creating the ads for the directory, and I have no idea which program would be best for me to use to produce the ads. What program would you recommend? I have never before created an ad in my life! So the program must be user friendly for people, like me, who have no experience.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Hi Peggy,

      I would actually recommend that you invest in both Photoshop Lightroom ($10/mo) and InDesign ($15/mo). Both programs do have fairly steep learning curves, but the good news is that they’re excellent software with plenty of tutorials and instructional videos to help you through the learning process. It sounds like you’re going to be doing quite a bit of design work with this directory, so it would definitely benefit you to invest the time to learn how to use both programs now. Just remember to be patient with yourself; learning how to create great ads takes a little bit of practice!

  52. Ghiffari T. says:

    Hi Vladimir,

    I am currently designing for a startup company.
    Right now, i am required to design a large printed banner (around 3 x 2.5 m in size).
    The banner will consists of our logo, some simple illustrations, texts, and possibly some photos.

    This is my first time to professionally design a large print file.

    My questions are:

    • What will be the most effective workflow with these 3 apps?
    • Do you have any useful technical tips on designing large printed files like this?

    Ghiffari T.

    • Vladimir Gendelman Vladimir Gendelman says:

      Hi Ghiffari,

      Photoshop will be your best choice, since you need to include raster images like photos. For a banner this large, a 150ppi resolution @ 100% is typically high enough, but double check with the printer to be sure. While you’re at it, ask your printer if they want you to supply art as CMYK or if they need to convert the file. This requirement varies from printer to printer, so it’s important to make sure you know the proper regulations for the one you’re working with.

      Best of luck!

  53. Hello Vladimir! I’m fairly new at creating Ads for a law firm for which I do IT work. I’ve made basic ads using MS Publisher. However, now I’m faced with a publisher that wishes better files. For my immediate need, I’ve got: a logo file (.eps format); text; a photograph (.jpg). Which program (or combination thereof) makes the best sense for one page ads? Your answer is appreciated! – Maria

Sparking Interest

An interest in one of the kids can become an interest in others. AJ recognized that Serafina was playing "Jesus Loves Me" and started singing along... from across the room. So Mom brought him over to see just how Serafina was doing that. He doesn't often sit still and concentrate very long...

Planting Seeds

In faith, this land was given to Coastal Christian School about 30 years ago. And today, in faith, the school moves forward the dream of a new school by holding a day of prayer at the site. 30 years ago, the donation of this land to the school was in faith that some day students and teachers would come to this place to learn and pray, and that faith was rewarded today, at least in part, as students and teachers gathered on the spot to pray for continued progress. Classes came and went all day, as did parents, friends, and believers. I happened to be there when the first and second grades were there.

It's Still There

From Serafina in the back seat... Mrs. Anderson's been everywhere. I wonder if she's seen the Leaning Tower of.... ("Pisa", I inject.) Yeah, Pisa. She's seen the Liberty Bell. It's in Philadelphia; has a big crack. ("In a museum?") Yeah, and the first flag is there, too, the star spangled banner. It's all full of holes and all torn up, but at least it's still there.

Disney's Love of Trains

Matt and Jamie attended this evening's SLO Railroad Museum's fundraiser event at the Pacific Coast Railroad (Santa Margarita Ranch) that featured rides on the Disney coaches as well as a multi-media presentation by Michael Campbell, President of the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society. Michael spoke about the development of the Disney railroad and Walt's love for trains. Train rides were available both before and after the presentation on the historic former Santa Fe and Disneyland Railroad "Retlaw1" passenger cars that were built in the Disney Burbank Studios and operated at Disneyland from 1955 to the early 1970's.

All of Jamie's photos for this event are here:

Golden Gate Park et al

Karen sent Lynn and Jamie on a little getaway to San Francisco. And despite the threatening weather the entire trip, we managed to cram in just about as much as was humanly possible, including some outdoor adventures. On the way north we discovered yet another restaurant in Paso Robles, Estrella: fantastic Latin American cuisine.

We stayed at the
Warwick Regis Hotel on Geary. Neat little place, like stepping back into another era. And their restaurant, La Scene Cafe was the perfect little spot for a before-the-theatre meal.

Here are the other spots we hit, most of them pictured at this link. There are many photos on this page, so be patient:

Easter Eggs a Day Early

Sometimes it works out best to call the Easter Bunny in a day early. Like this year! The kitchen situation made a big ol' fancy gig out of the question, but the sloppy joes, deviled eggs, and strawberry pie did the trick? Not to mention all the chocolate...

Easter Preparations

A little outing with a couple of the kids is always a treat, especially when Easter goodies are at stake. How about that "People of Walmart" photo?!

Kids and Kittens

It's a daily ritual now. The kids have to have some play time with the kittens at least once a day. And a kitten-friendly litter pan has been introduced, not to mention their expanded play area. Oh, by the way, kittens can crawl way back into wine bottle slots; Tracy looked like she was noodling trying to get them out!

Town of Reston?

Town of Reston?

Community leaders review proposal to make Reston an incorporated town.

Members of the Reston Citizens Association and a bipartisan group of longtime Reston residents are hoping the third time is a charm for a push to incorporate Reston as an official town, with its own municipal government.

Citizens have tried and failed to incorporate Reston twice, once in 1980 and again in 1988. Organizers held a referendum on the proposal in 1980 that was defeated two-to-one. And in 1988, staunch opposition from Reston's business community derailed the community's efforts.

Today, a similar push is being spearheaded by Mike Corrigan and the Reston Citizens Association, the volunteer community group he leads. Corrigan and RCA have worked over the past few months to develop a detailed proposal of what the Town of Reston might look like.

Saturday morning, RCA presented their proposal to a gathering of Reston leaders, including the top executive of Reston Association, Reston's founder Bob Simon, former RA Board chair Susan Jones, Reston Community Center board member Bill Bouie, and League of Reston Artists member James Bailey.

"We've put our thoughts down on paper and we're asking for input," Corrigan said. "We're entirely open to suggestions here."

A TOWN OF RESTON municipal government would provide most of the same services already provided by existing Reston organizations and would be led by a non-partisan Town Council and mayor, under RCA's proposal.

It would fold into the government most of the disparate organizations that currently offer services to Restonians, eliminating any duplicative functions and streamlining governance.

Also, it could actually save citizens money, the proposal asserts, because it would convert existing organization dues into deductible taxes.

"Becoming a town is the cheapest alternative to the homeowner," Corrigan said.

The proposed town charter also includes a formal statement of Reston's founding principals, including a commitment to equality and preserving nature.

Corrigan acknowledges the governance proposal faces an uphill climb before it could ever become reality. Incorporation would require an act of the General Assembly, a decisive show of support in a Reston-wide referendum, and some level of backing by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

But both he and other members of RCA are confident the public will support the proposal because it could save them money, give Reston more clout on issues such as the Dulles Rail Project, and offer Restonians more control over their community's destiny.

RCA wants to solicit input from the general public via an online poll and through the community newspapers in December. Once the public's support appears to be secured, Corrigan said, the politicians would likely follow.

A SUPPORTER of the town governance proposal, artist James Bailey said at the Saturday meeting that he has seen first-hand the value of municipal government.

While he lived in Biloxi, he helped plan and promote the creation of the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, designed by architect Frank O. Gehry and set to open next spring. After Bailey and other organizers proposed the museum to Gehry in 1995, the first thing Gehry told them was that they needed to have the town's mayor and City Council on board with the project.

Once the local elected officials supported the project, the museum plans started to move forward, he said.

"That's why I support incorporation for Reston," Bailey said. "I think it would allow people like myself and the League of Reston Artists to generate more interest in the arts and in culture."

In addition to potentially providing a greater level of community support in the arts, RCA members said they believe an incorporated town would give Reston more control over public safety, traffic measures, affordable housing, business development and health care.

"This proposed organizational structure gives you more, based on what you pay in taxes," said RCA Member Mark Terry (at large).

MOST RESTON leaders who spoke at the Saturday morning meeting with RCA said they support changing Reston's governance structure, though they urged RCA to find a unified message that the general public can understand precisely why Reston should become a town.

"The numbers are going to speak for themselves for homeowners," said Jones, formerly the top elected RA official. "But the case has to be made about why this is preferable to what we have now."

Bouie, of RCC, agreed with Jones, saying the public will not support a governance change without believing its in their best interests. Otherwise, a repeat of the 1980 governance referendum's defeat will likely be in store.

"You've got to have a very, very solid cost-benefit analysis on this," he said.

Laiti a Hokie

Laiti a Hokie

Robinson linebacker Brian Laiti will play football at Virginia Tech.

Despite leading the Robinson football team in tackles for the past two seasons, the decision that soon-to-be senior Brian Laiti brought to the ground most recently has the talented player feeling pretty good about the 2009 fall season.

On Friday morning, July 17, Laiti committed to play football at Virginia Tech in 2010, a choice that Laiti said would allow him to focus on more on offseason workouts and his senior season with the Rams.

“It feels really good because now I can just focus on lifting and getting ready for my senior season,” Laiti said. “That’s all I really care about right now.”

Laiti was a second team All-Northern Region selection for Robinson (5-5) last fall, posting a team-best 143 tackles and five sacks. A 6-foot-3 1/2, 210-pound outside linebacker, Laiti was one of the area’s most sought-after recruits before he committed to Tech.

In making his decision, Laiti cited the tradition at Virginia Tech, along with the consistently strong defense that has been a hallmark under head coach Frank Beamer. Laiti picked Virginia Tech from a list that included Maryland, West Virginia, Boston College and Syracuse.

“Virginia Tech is the best fit for me,” Laiti said. “It’s my future, and I just went with it.”

NSA Revelations Raise New Questions About Security in the Public Cloud

Written by Zeeshan Naseh

Every day, new information emerges that shows ever-broader electronic eavesdropping by the U.S. government on its own citizens and those of other countries.

The activities are even starting to raise the attention of the courts. And with every revelation of domestic and foreign spying by the likes of the National Security Agency, it gets harder for companies to feel safe storing and moving sensitive data in a public cloud.

The news broke in June 2013, with revelations that the NSA, through an initiative called PRISM, was accessing private communications of people who had used popular Internet services from nine companies, including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and Facebook.

While many details have yet to come to light, PRISM essentially gives the government access to emails and stored data on certain foreign targets operating outside the United States.

NSA Reach Is Broad and Deep

To see how broad the PRISM effort’s reach is, consider that Verizon Business Solutions in April 2013 reportedly received an order to turn over information on every call that each of its customers had made. PRISM alone might be unsettling enough for companies concerned about keeping confidential information safe. But there’s more.

The day before Halloween, news surfaced that the NSA had secretly “broken into the main communications links” connecting Yahoo and Google data centers worldwide. Along with its British counterpart, the Government Communications Headquarters, the NSA is (through a program called MUSCULAR) “copying data flows across fiber-optic cables that carry information among the data centers” of Yahoo and Google, according to the Washington Post. Both Yahoo and Google told the Post they had not given the government access to their systems.

Relatively few people or companies likely have either data or communications that the government would find of interest. But at least for now, that may not matter. The NSA could well wind up scooping up your private information, anyway, if you store or move it via a large public cloud.

With Public Cloud, You Are Subject to Losing Control of Your Data

Naturally, the NSA could theoretically “break in” and spy on any cloud set-up. But media revelations of its eavesdropping efforts to date have largely suggested that the agency’s efforts are focused on offerings of public clouds like Google, rather than on the private clouds of individual companies.

As we’ve previously pointed out, one of the biggest issues with using a public cloud provider is that your business must essentially trust the vendor to keep the virtual gates under lock and key. If things go wrong, you may lose control over your data.

That’s not the case with the private cloud. You keep your hand on everything, including what goes where and when. That way, as one observer has noted, if the NSA comes knocking, you at least will know who got the information, when and why.

For many large businesses, especially those in regulated industries, security and maintaining customers’ privacy is a top priority. Compromising either can bring both regulatory consequences and loss of brand value.

Moreover, with the emerging new breed of self-service cloud management platforms, building a private cloud, or clouds, has never been easier – and at a fraction of the cost.

In this new era, there’s no reason to leave sensitive information to the whims of a public cloud provider. The private cloud is now well within reach.

The Gospel of the Hebrews or Gospel According to the Hebrews is a lost Judeo-Christian syncretistic work. It is known only from fragments quoted by early Christian apologists, and is mentioned by Eusebius in his Ecclesiastical History, Book III, chapter 25 "The Sacred Scriptures Acknowledged as Genuine, and Those that are Not."

text: BILL PINKNEY, the last original member of The Drifters, has been found dead in a Florida hotel room. He was 81. The South Carolina-born singer died at his room at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort in Daytona Beach on Wednesday (04Jul07), where he was scheduled to take part in U.S. Independence Day celebrations. Daytona Beach Police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said Pinkney's death was not being treated as suspicious. Before turning to music, Pinkney played ball for the New York Blue Sox Baseball Team and served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Following the war, Pinkney met the rest of the original Drifters in gospel choirs and in 1953 starting recording albums as a group. Pinkney quit the group in 1958 following a salary dispute and formed another group called The Flyers. A year later, Pinkney reunited with some of his former bandmates and began touring as The Original Drifters. During his long career, Pinkney has been honoured with the Rhythm and Blues Foundation Pioneer Award and has been inducted into the Vocal Hall Of Fame. Pinkney will be buried in his home state of South Carolina.

Content Curation And Value: The Business Of Context

What is the real value of curated content? Does it live in the content itself or does it live in the context, in the curation of the content – the commentary, the opinion pieces, the conversations that the content itself generates?

Photo credit: Robin Good

In these two short video interviews I captured a year back, George Siemens and Gerd Leonhard, discuss and analyze on what is defining itself as the new “business of context” and about the true value of niche, theme, curated content, with one question in mind: can the content curation strategy approach generate true business value that can be monetized?

Here are some of the highlights:

People are willing to pay for value, for curated selections of meaningful content that not everyone has the skill or time to gather, filter and group in specific niches of interest.

If the content and information has been produced by the public purse, it needs to be shared with the public.

The part of content that you share for free is what builds up your reputation and credibility in front of the rest of the world.

People will buy your content and compensate your efforts, only if the content you have already shared for free is valuable enough to drive them into a purchase.

Context is increasingly becoming content. All additional elements like tags, metadata, geolocalization data that define the context of a piece of content are now part of the content themselves, because they make the content more usable.

The economy on the web has become a “link-economy”, where the context is as valuable as the content carried out by the link itself. A link shared on Facebook is more important than a link shared on your blog.

If you are still struggling to discover the real value of content curation, and are wondering whether curating news (newsmastering), or any other specific content can indeed provide extra value to your readers, while creating opportunities for new business, I invite to listen closely to what Gerd Leonhard and George Siemens have had to say on this.

SPF values change whilst Coolashade Shade Sails remain top choice!

Sunscreen products rated SPF 30+ are old news – SPF 50+ is now the new super-high factor protection available.

Coolashade Shade Sails give excellent sun protection, as does SPF50+ Sunscreens rated at SPF 50+ have begun to appear on the shelves of stores, but consumers are being warned not to be complacent simply because the products have a high rating.

“Consumers will have a greater choice of sun protection products, but while SPF 50+ sunscreens will provide better broad spectrum performance, this does not mean you are completely protected from the harmful effects of the sun,” Australian parliamentary secretary for health and ageing, Catherine King said.

Shade sails to be used to protect the Great Barrier Reef

A paper recently published in Nature Climate Change speaks of a plan devised by scientists in Australia to protect the Great Barrier Reef from damage by installing shade sails on the surface of the ocean above the fragile coral reef. The proposal would mean covering the reefs with cloth thus shading them from sunlight which would reduce the bleaching that is damaging them so intensively. The massive sheets of cloth would be anchored with ropes attached to pontoons and made to float on the surface of the water in a bid to shield the reef from the strong rays of sunlight.

Australian marine biologist Russell Hore said that while the idea had seemed laughable, everything had to be considered to protect the World Heritage-listed reef. “Although it would be impossible to shade all 348,000 square kilometers of the entire reef, an area of small shade cloths will prove that coral bleaching can be tackled by reducing light and temperature”, he said.

Are you prepared for the summer heat wave?

As I write this it is mid-June in Spain on the Costa Blanca, and the high temperatures predicted for today are supposed to reach up to 37 degrees centigrade. The beaches are busy, the sea is warm and the bars & restaurants are picking up and readying themselves for the full onslaught of tourists coming in the next few weeks.

All this heat reminded me of an article that I recently read online. Being an expert in the industry of shading people and possessions I always like to keep abreast of changes in the industry and I am interested in stories related to the sun, heat, and of course, shade.

The United States Government have made a series of preparatory recommendations for US citizens as the heat of the summer approaches. The main points they are asking their people to consider are: Water, Rest and Shade. Continue reading

Cruise lines catering to younger crowds – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

By Hannah Sampson The Miami Herald

For their next vacation, Jessica and Michael Hammer are heading to Sweden, where they will stay with friends and immerse themselves in the rhythms of daily life.

“We want to learn about the country,” said Jessica Hammer, a 31-year-old Coconut Creek, Fla., resident who works for a software company.

One place the couple won’t be found anytime soon: on a cruise ship, which they view as “a floating prison,” “generic and commercial” and “plasticky.”

Wielding craft beer and cocktails, speedy Wi-Fi and apps, celebrity chefs and Broadway shows, cruise lines are increasing their efforts to appeal to discriminating young adults like the Hammers, part of the millennial generation that accounts for an estimated $1.3 trillion in annual spending.

“Millennials love to travel; they love to show off their travel on social media,” said Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based travel agent networks CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. “We have a great opportunity to get them as first-time cruisers, and we believe they will become lifetime cruisers.”

Earlier this year, the Cruise Lines International Association identified the growth of millennial passengers as a top trend for 2014. The trade group’s most recent market profile study, released in 2011, showed that the average age of a cruise passenger was 50 and only 7 percent were between 25 and 29.

While the cruise industry has long been moving away from its history as a grandparents’ getaway with assigned dinner seating at set times and limited entertainment, operators are finding even more ways to diversify options in entertainment, food, drinks, activities and itineraries.

“Cruising is adapting to this generation by adding features that will appeal to a lot of people — but are must-haves if you want to get a millennial on a cruise ship,” said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor in chief of the website CruiseCritic.com.

There is no consensus yet on where the millennial generation starts and stops, but most definitions include at least the 18-34 age range; the number of millennials is believed to be between 80 million to 95 million. The group is known to be tech-savvy, global in world view, careful about spending and hungry for new experiences, according to experts.

“Affordable adventures are a huge theme for millennials,” said Jeff Fromm, president of millennial-focused consultancy FutureCast and author of the book “Marketing to Millennials.” He said the group has a greater desire than any other generation to visit every state and continent, values experiences over status brands — and must be able to share those adventures quickly with their social networks.

That makes them ideal targets for cruise lines, which promote value, the ability to visit multiple destinations and diversity in options that can let young workers without much vacation time steal away for a quick weekend trip.

Lucy Garcia, a 30-year-old travel agent in Hialeah, Fla., who owns a Cruise Planners franchise with her sister, finds that she sells a lot of weekend cruises to fellow millennials — and goes on many herself. The length is a good option for first-timers, she said, as well as those on a budget.

Potty Training . . . For every M&M your child eats, be prepared to eat five yourself.

Potty Training . . .So here you have it. A blog post that either repulses you (because who wants to read about a toddler pooping/peeing the in the toilet!?) or you actually relate to because you’re probably a mom yourself reading this agreeing to the victory a parent feels when their toddler  goes potty for the first time! Well, I’m writing this blog today because our little Audrey Ellie (18 months) nonchalantly decided it was her MAGICAL DAY today! Next, I’m going to assume that no readers are judging me for potty-training a kid who is so young.  I’m assuming you are simply reading with open minds, curious about my experience.

Sign #1 for us! It all started about a week ago when she Audrey started to bring us her diaper & wipe box each and every time she needed a change. She simply started to realize it wasn’t comfortable sitting in all that gunk!

The character potty: "Yes, Minnie mouse potties too“ I would tell her as she gave me the look of death stare. It didn’t matter what Minnie did , she wasn’t going to . Certainly this is sign of her becoming a leader in life and not a follower, I assured myself . Ha. Far leap ? OK.

Did we bribe her? Yes, why yes we did.  M&Ms’ are my lifesaver. (Time for a Costco run to stock up!) I know this is the classic no brainer trick everyone hears about when potty training their tod and some try endlessly yet it doesn't work for their toddler, but this little gal has inherited her mammas sweet tooth and is a sucker for anything chocolate! ( Tip #1 : Bribing your toddler with M&M’s? For every M&M your child eats, be prepared to eat five yourself. Yes its true. I need to reward myself for her (but kind of mommy's too, right?) accomplishment. Don’t judge. ) We offered M&M’s for sitting on the toilet, then M&M’s for pushing/trying, then for actually going and we "hip hip hoorayed" for even the slightest bit of effort we saw her give. We use to think “hey the less big deal you make of the potty, the more likely she will just do it on her own” but I threw that idea out the window the second I saw M&M’s transform my life & mommy’s clapping + victory dance seemed to excite her (and probably only her since my 8 yr old tends to roll her eyes embarrassed of her moms attempt to dance for a toddlers amusement )

Okay. .   okay..  so she went potty (BOTH #1 & #2) and it was only once and it just happened today but holy cow!!!!! This is life changing. (Yes, I’m a bit dramatic with excitement) I told myself “ I hope you like shaking wet turds out of a plastic potty and into the toilet, because this will be your life for quite a while now. Keep your nails short and your hair out of your face, this is not a joke.

I realize I am writing this blog post prematurely setting myself up to bear the shame of regression where she may forget tomorrow how to even sit on her toilet or that she decides skittles are what she wants and is repulsed by M&M’s . I may  even turn into a 24 hour janitor who’s cleaning up pee off the floor. By no means is she considered  “potty trained” yet but I am going to jump for joy at the sign of her interest and update this blog with her progress throughout our journey . There you have it.

Oh Audrey! I am such a proud mommy today!

Audrey is looking at me here , "Mom okay where’s my M&M? You see me trying to go potty”

(Not realizing she has to actually tinkle for the reward . Oh heck I’ll just give it to her and see if its more motivation for her to go !)

Inventory No.: B747
Provenance: Unknown
Maker: Unknown
Weight: 54.2 g
Year: approx. 1920
Tone: Bright, mellow

Old German lightweight violin bow, soft stick - warm, mellow tone

This soft, lightweight violin bow that produces a warm, resonant sound was crafted in the 1920's presumably in Germany. The round stick is a soft player, i.e. it does not take too much pressure, the stick that has a tiny knothole in the upper half is made of light brown pernambuco wood that has a beautiful structure. The bow has a total length of 74.2 cm, including the adjuster. The balance-point of the bow that is measured at 25.5 cm feels perfectly centered, the bow feels lightweight and easy in the hand at a weight of 55.2 g. Its nickel mounted ebony frog is decorated with a Pearl eye and a three-part adjuster; its nice optical appearance corresponds to the good musical properties, that are indicated by some traces of use on the stick above the frog. The bow was worked over completely in our atelier, it is offered ready to play. This soft, lightweight bow produces a warm, somewhat mellow tone and would well complement a clear, sharp sounding violin.

7 Behaviors of Great Leaders – By Compliance Global Inc

All great leaders have common amongst themselves certain ingrained habits of behavior that help them separate from the pack and achieve at the highest levels. These habits are learned and developed in a very deliberate way. We will show you how.

Leadership is a noble profession. It all starts by mastering the leadership of self. Then you have the right to start to deliberately influence and lead others. The most effective way to lead is to set the example.

You and I have deeply developed habits of behavior. First we must discover why and how we currently handle the critical behaviors of great leadership. What is our unconscious state of mind when it comes to each habit? What do other people see when they watch us? How do we change and develop new habits?

We will delve into each behavior that is needed for you to be a great leader. This will include tools to help you assess yourself, develop and design a system of follow up to insure you continue to improve.

Why Should You Attend:

You do not need to reinvent the wheel. The marks of great leaders have left a clear trail that you can choose to follow. No matter what level of leadership you are currently at, the time to start your focused journey is now. Even if you do not lead many people, you need to develop these habits for any success you wish to attain.

The remarkable thing about these habits is that they are “not rocket science” they are fundamental, basic and common to all great leaders. The key is to realize where you are now and what exactly it is you have to change or develop to become a better leader. The journey is never over.

This leadership skills training will give you concrete techniques, philosophical justification and a road map that will be simple for you to follow.

Areas Covered in this Webinar:

What does a great leader look like and act like?
How do you live with integrity as a leader?
The magic of self control, growth and caring. What about attitude?
The primary activities of a great leader.
How does a great leader treat others?
The importance of focused attention.
It all boils down to 7 basic behaviors.

Learning Objectives:

You will gain significant insight into leadership and communication. This will enable you to dramatically shift your point of view and improve in a practical way your daily behaviors.

Spa escape with a difference: The HotTug

The Cosmo girls went on a HotTug... yep, that's a hot tub that sails

Where: After an exhausting month of festival weekends and deadline-packed weekdays, there was only one place the Cosmo features team wanted to go: a beautiful spa! Swimming costumes packed, Cosmo's Jacqui, Lorna, Sophie and Caroline took to the road to The Runnymede-On-Thames hotel and Spa in Egham, Surrey. Nestled into the quiet banks of the River Thames near Windsor, it was the perfect escape from busy Cosmo Towers in central London.

What: First up we explored the hotel's gorgeous spa with its indoor and outdoor pools and eucalyptus steam room (bliss!) then we rehydrated with Pimms and lemonade before heading out for the most exciting and unique part of our visit. The hotel hosts it's very own 'HotTug' – a hot tub on water so you can cruise along the river while relaxing in style. Sipping champagne and taking in the glorious views all from the luxury of our very own 38°C tub was the epitome of relaxation and, more importantly, raucous fun!

Why: This hotel has it all covered – right next to Heathrow it's ideal as a relaxing retreat before a long-haul trip or makes a great city escape for a girly weekend. The grounds are just beautiful and, lining the sleepy Thames, feel a million miles away from the city and airport. With space for up to six the HotTug would make a fun treat for a hen do and, combined with the hotel's spa and gorgeous dining options, it makes the ultimate girls' escape.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Cosmo loves: Indulge in an unbeatable three-course meal in the sumptuous Lock Bar and Kitchen. We recommend the rustic sharing board, which was to die for, and the juicy swordfish steak and West Country rump of lamb with rustic caponata for main course kept us quiet for the first time all day. We didn't get chance to sample the afternoon tea, but with scones and mini desserts piled high, it looked amazing.

Go there: The HotTug at the Runnymede-On-Thames Hotel is available for hotel residents to hire for £90 an hour on weekdays, and £120 an hour at weekends and Bank Holidays.
