3 Goals for Adobe Creative Cloud, Scott Belsky
1. Enable connected creativity
- Everything in cloud: assets, apps, team
- Assets always available and updated
Highlights:
- Creative Cloud Canvas (beta) — a virtual whiteboard for team collaboration and brainstorm
- Creative Cloud Spaces (beta) — a centralized space for shared access to content, libraries, linked assets
- Photoshop Web (beta) — for quick edits in Photoshop on the browser, without the need for collaborators to download the app/have a Creative Cloud subscription
- Illustrator Web (beta) — for quick edits in Illustrator on the browser, without the need for collaborators to download the app/have a Creative Cloud subscription
- Creative Cloud libraries (coming soon)— nested groups and team libraries; versioning of past design systems
