As we talked about in Tuesday’s class, you will need some Adobe software for this class (Dreamweaver and Photoshop) and for other classes in the program. Due to the short length of the semester, you can get by with the 30-day demo versions that can be downloaded from Adobe’s web site (Wait until we use the software before you install).
If you would like to purchase the software, you can do that at student prices from the Adobe education store or other educational software resellers. Adobe asks for proof of enrollment. I am not sure, if they accept other verification, but one proof you can get is from the registrar’s web site by clicking on ‘Enrollment Verification’.
Individually, the 2 programs are $199 each. You can also buy a suit of software that includes these two and more. The comparison of the suites is at http://www.adobe.com/education/products/creativesuite/compare/
I would recommend Web Premium or Design Premium if you take other courses in our program, but you might be ok with Web Standard (I have not heard yet from others, if they still use Illustrator).

I know that Dr. Nicholson is going to be using Illustrator CS4 for the Multimedia class this Summer. If anybody is taking Multimedia this Summer, Illustrator will come in handy.
