September 9, 2008 — Using Adobe CS3 Programs Together in a Workflow

Alison Cattelona, CEO of Mobile Mac & PC Training, will present the Adobe CS3 Workflow: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Bridge. Alison will demonstrate how the CS3 programs can work together to bring out your creative side. A few tips and tricks will also be given along the way.

Also about the presenter...

Alison Cattelona is an Adobe Certified Instructor and hand-picked to be part of the exclusive Adobe-freelancer program and is a co-rep of the New Jersey InDesign User Group. She has been a computer instructor since 1983 teaching over 30 desktop applications. Her experience comes from a solid background in graphic arts including paste-up and mechanicals, design and art direction. She took the solid production experience she gained having worked in a print shop to her art director/designer positions within the advertising and marketing industries.

The freelance work that followed rounded out her expertise in the many industries, applications and techniques that she uses today in her instruction. Alison grew Mobile Mac & PC Training to be the highly successful, multi-platform, multi-application training company it is today.
