There isn’t a publication where publically admits to using InDesign publically but rather internally. The only relevant article I could find the following, a comparison between Photoshop and InDesign when creating a print design.

Everyone at MCAST head about the website Behance a networking site for self-promotion. Fun fact it is owned by Adobe this helps its users to share items done on their software.
The Illustrations and designs are made by Tubik Studios. This company also makes illustrations for Ribbet. Ribbet is an APP, online API that helps users edit their photos. But even if you want a t-shirt a custom bag etc. just insert your logo, and you can also order them from their store directly. Instead of paying a local designer Ribbet hires designers to create mass designs that they are used to be modelled to the customer needs.
One of the designers that are hired by Ribbet at Tubik Studios is Evgeniy Tomashevsky. Evgeniy Tomashevsky is from Ukraine and also uses Behance to share his work with others.
Evgeniy Tomashevsky uses illustrator daily to create these marvelling designs. How he creates them is that first he grabs a pen and paper and starts drawing, then after many iterations of the drawing steps back and looks. Then it’s off to the scanner to scan the masterpiece that is already created.
Once an Analogue/Digital copy is made this is raster image is placed in illustrator and re-pen drew line by line. When this is done, the shapes are filled in with colour according to what fits.
– Experiment-
Trying to recreate Part 2 poster in illustrator.
This took a couple of hours to recreate. It’s the first time for me to create images in Illustrator and use clipping masks. My only disappointment is that I didn’t manage to create masks with gradient, hence the not natural blending between the images.
On the whole, i am proud of my self of accomplishing this result. Going head on to this task I didn’t know what I could achieve.

The Main reason photoshop is used is to edit photos or anything that has to do with raster based images. Other uses for PhotoShop are resizing, photo restoration, website graphics, website designs and animation.
Josselin Cornou is a famous Photoshopper who is featured in a blog post on the Adobe Blogs.
The previous image is an effortless use of photoshop. Just a use the Black and white tool to create the black and white effect. Then pipette the top colour and form a blank layer on it. After using the gradient fill with a mask to create a gradient effect.
Experiment
The first thing I do is place the item in their place.
Here I blurred the background to give the foreground more importance.
The images where too blunt so using a mask to Blend them together helps.
The title text wasn’t prominent enough, so a contrasting colour on the outside helped.
Also breaking up the images using an oval pen tool gives the look of a professional feel.
The Logos where being drowned in the colour that’s behind them.
And this is the Final Output.

Today I found out that Deadpool (2016), Gone Girl (2014) and Hail, Caesar! (2016) Have 1 thing in common, they are all edited in Premiere Pro. Usually, films are edited in Avid Media Composer but since 2014 since when the creative cloud was born more and more independent filmmakers, and production houses are using Premiere.
The Adobe Creative Cloud is a group of programmes that work seamlessly with each other to give a smoother experience to the editor. So if I create an image in photoshop, I can link it within premiere without exporting in Tiff. For example. This also helps when fixing a simple thing in photoshop continuing to the previous case, since the file is linked nothing needs to be reported. Hence making the life of the editor easier.
Back to the films being edited nowadays on Premiere, it’s still a high production value movie and this way we can see that Adobe is expanding into the market and giving the people what they want regarding software compatibility and ease of use.
The Editor of Deadpool Julian Clarke explains how it’s effortless to integrate with After Effects a compositing programme, instead then exporting each time and using the application just to cut and dissolve you can use premiere to link to the composting software and seamlessly edit and fix minor details rather than phoning the composting company to have it sent to you the next day.
The following experiment is a project I did voluntarily for my local band club about the history of the same band club its self on the anniversary of the 110 years from the first time it started.
Although the sound was edited in ProTools with a bunch of audio processing on the Voice Over and automation for the music, the rest was edited in Premiere Pro with After Effects to track and create an easily the blur effect shown below.
Now since I have a 5 monitor set up a build for editing, I use all the available screen space to efficiently and quickly use the programme and lose less time on finding stuff.
When I use any type of programme, I organise everything the best I can.
Each time I edit a new Project I like to take it a step further by learning new techniques and trying to improve as I go. Below you can find the finished edit on YouTube.
