Software
The OSX platform provides an excellent basis from which to run
our various pieces of design software.
A large percentage of
our work makes use of Adobe's Creative Suite, a package that
consists of Photoshop, Illustrator and
InDesign. Photoshop and Illustrator are already established
as industry standards, and Indesign looks set to follow in
their footsteps. Wellspring switched in 2004 from Quark to
using InDesign as their main design package. Quark 4.1 is
still used for simpler, less graphically intensive jobs.
For
web design work Macromedia's Studio MX is used, specifically
Dreamweaver MX. Freehand MX also provides a good alternative
to Illustrator, offering several different features. Other software used includes Adobe Streamline 3.1, Adobe Acrobat
5.0, Roxio Toast 5.2 and Font Book.
