The Adobe Illustrator Storey {video inspiration}

The Adobe Illustrator Story from Terry Hemphill on Vimeo.

When Adobe Illustrator first shipped in 1987, it was the first software application for a young company that had, until then, focused solely on Adobe PostScript. The new product not only altered Adobe’s course, it changed drawing and graphic design forever.

Watch the Illustrator story unfold, from its beginning as Adobe’s first software product, to its role in the digital publishing revolution, to becoming an essential tool for designers worldwide. Interviews include cofounder John Warnock, his wife Marva, artists and designers Ron Chan, Bert Monroy, Dylan Roscover and Jessica Hische.

Or maybe you want to do a product demo or two. Check it out (includes equipment list): http://wistia.com/blog/your-first-lighting-kit/

My new lighting setup using the Cowboystudio lighting kit is shown below.

Roughly the same price to the kit they make in the above video but it folds down and stores nicely in a small bag:
