Adobe Creative Cloud Petition


The Cloud approacheth.
Hey everyone!

So we were talking about the Adobe Cloud changes that were coming up and we are going to put together some information in the hopes of basically petitioning Adobe to not suck.


It also has more information about it that I read first like faqs from adobe etc.  I don't feel like just signing an online petition will necessarily do anything though, but it can't hurt.

I also found his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/adobecreativecloud

And I have also found some numbers: 

Basically, if you are someone who updates your software version every couple of years the cloud would be ok for you.  If not, then it's a drain of money.

If I had purchased cloud instead of the last version I purchased, I would have paid $4000 by now for the same software wihtout any hope of the payments ever stopping. And that number would keep going up forever, and ever.

Even if you do always get the latest stuff there are is also
  • the idea of not being able to ever purchase the tools that our businesses are based on
  • having access to our own private and commercial artwork dependent on some company's whims
  • this question: do individuals need to have more than one subscription for personal /professional work? So they can gouge us more than once for the same person?
Anyway I suggest that people read this stuff, and then suggests reasons that Adobe Creative Cloud feels icky to you that we are going to put into a letter to send to them. Or if it doesn't feel icky also share that too.

What do you think?

    Here is one example of how the Adobe Creative Cloud is not a good idea: I recently installed Flash CS 6 and found that it can no longer export to Quicktime – I searched the web for this problem and apparently a lot of other users are having the same problem. The thing is that Flash CS 5 has no problem with exporting to Quicktime but Flash CS6 does. So my fix was to get my old copy of Flash CS 5 and re-install it. If the Creative Cloud is introduced there would be no way to reinstall an earlier version of a software – you wouldn't even be able to own a version that you could re-install. Many times an old version of software is just fine to do things and may even do some things better than the newer version. I hate the idea of having to rent the software and not owning it.

Making Business Not Failure Part 2: Proposals and Contracts

He's probably trying to sell her an explainer video. Business Proposals and Marriage Proposals have similarities. They are both an offer that will hopefully lead to a leap of faith in the form of a "yes" on the proposee's part. The proposer puts thought into the presentation and tries to emphasize the positive in order to influence a "yes."   When saying yes to a marriage proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome to be married to and that you will not waste the life you are requesting. And in a project proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome at completing the project you are proposing and that you will not waste the money you're requesting.  Before any money changes hands or work starts there needs to be a proposal at least. The proposal is like a contract, only it's more informal. I tend to use proposals, but if I were dealing with larger projects where my risk is greater I would use a contract. Contrac

First Directors Round Table Meeting Recap

The first Animation Directors Round Table Meeting ever, which was last night, was absolutely great. We went over everyone's projects and goals and talked about whatever issues we were having. Everyone was very supportive and encouraging to each other, we set goals for the next meeting, talked about technical issues, and decided upon meeting frequency, and we had some nice booze and trail mix at the same time at the lovely Overlook Lodge . The Overlook Lodge- as a bonus, our table for the Round Table session was actually round . They were also playing Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the screens. I think we need to have another meeting here sometime... After the official business was done we listened to some great live music and talked to each other about various artsy topics.  There were a few new faces who I hope we see again, and a few returning ones that I always love to see! We decided to hold the meetings monthly. To make it easy lets set it on the first Wednesday of each
