Adobe MAX is behind us, and I am sure, like us, you were blown away by the many sessions and announcements. In case you have missed it, you can still watch Adobe MAX 2021 sneaks to what Adobe has lined up.
ACP Highlight
Let's know more about her in her own words:-
My interest in design was triggered when being introduced to the Bauhaus in High School. Following a (paid) internship at an advertising agency I studied design at the Institute of Design in my hometown Hamburg. It was the beginning of the digital age, I learnt manual processes as well as some desktop publishing. For my graduate project I produced a computer animated tv commercial (by videorecording the vector application drawing the artwork on a 286's screen 😄 ).
In my freelance career I started with vector illustrations and DTP, then designed and produced illustrations and 3D animations for POI terminals and installations in museums and also got involved with web design and content management systems. For 15 years I was a die-hard FreeHand user. When around 2000 it wasn't updated anymore I had to finally give Illustrator a chance. This conincided with the inquiry by a publisher if I could write a book about Illustrator.
Somehow adventurous I wanted to check out writing a book, learnt Illustrator by doing it and got hooked on Live Paint. And the Appearance panel. And knockout groups.
So I'm now mostly writing Illustrator books and tutorials, magazine articles about vector graphics and layout, still have my freelance design business and for the last 20 years I have also been lecturing courses on image editing, layout and typography at the Leuphana University in Lüneburg.
