will address the program across platforms. Adobe Illustrator 6.0 for
Macintosh, announced today, is being demonstrated this week at Seybold San

Sessions will be conducted by expert users of the world's leading
illustration and design program, all convening in one location to offer
more than 30 in-depth courses on a broad range of topics. Attendees will
be able to design their own curriculum, based on their expertise and
interest, by choosing from seminars on text-handling techniques and page
layout, color prepress and commercial illustra-tion to advanced courses
covering compound paths, masking and using third-party filters. In
addi-tion, all attendees will receive a free copy of Adobe Illustrator for
Macintosh, a retail value of $595.

Charles Geschke, Adobe's president, will open the inaugural conference with
a keynote address on future directions for Adobe Illustrator and
demonstrate Version 6.0. The presentation will be followed by a session on
Essential Illustrator Tips and Tricks, given by three renown Adobe
Illustrator users: Luanne S. Cohen, Adobe's senior art director; Deke
McClelland, host of television's Digital Gurus; and Ted Alspach, author of
the Macworld Illustrator Bible and Illustrator Filter Finesse. "Each
session is designed to focus on a specific feature of Adobe Illustrator,
so conferees can concen-trate on an area of particular interest or need,"
said Ted Alspach, owne, Bezier Graphic Experts, in Cave Creek, Arizona,
who will conduct a session on third-party filters. "My goal is to cram as
much knowledge as I can about Adobe Illustrator into each session, and
hope that everyone will walk away with new ideas and a thorough
understanding of third-party plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator." "The
conference brings together the world's leading users of Adobe Illustrator
software for the first time ever," said Steve Roth, cofounder of Thunder
Lizard. "Never has so much raw illustration and technical talent been
gathered together and targeted directly to users of Adobe Illustrator."
