Software

Adobe

PageMaker - With over a decade of experience with the PageMaker product, 4images chief designer, Jeff Giles, has produced over 1,000 printed pieces using the PageMaker product. From 3 x 6 cards to 42 x 24 posters, this design medium continues to be the workhorse of the 4images design studio.

Photoshop - The industry standard for image compositing, color correction, and photo manipulation is the most used product in our suite of tools. The 4images shop has over 12 manyears of experience with the product since the release of version 2.5.

Illustrator - This vector drawing program is utilized by our graphic artist, Chung Nguiyen in the creation of stunning logos, billboards, and wall art.

InDesign - Incorporating features from all three of the above Adobe products, this latest creation from Adobe is being intergrated into the workflow at 4images daily. We have already begun using it for a wide format print ouput. It's powerful and versatile feature set emulates the Illustrator/Photoshop interface and is surprisingly robust. We anticipate that this product will eventually replace PageMaker in the 4images studio.
