Tips & tricks for designers using the Adobe Creative Suite

Abbreviations

From now on, for the sake of keeping titles from becoming short novels, I may use the following shortcuts:

Adobe® InDesign® = ID
Adobe® Illustrator®= IL
Adobe® PhotoShop® = PS
Adobe® Acrobat® = AC

we'll test it out and see if it's too confusing, eh?

Ok, I'm confused. PS is postscript I thought.

My suggestions: InD, Ill, Acro, PhS
or maybe use file extensions: indd, ill, pdf, psd.

Heck, just stick with short novels, its not like they charge by the byte.

Technically, yes - postscript could be PS, although postscripts are usually referred to when using the .EPS extension (which i'm sure you know stands for "Encapsulated Post Script").

I do like the extension idea, although the true extension for illustrator is .AI (Adobe Illustrator), and most of us save illustrator files in EPS format for placement into layout programs (most famously, Quark, which did not allow placement of .AI files).

Perhaps I will stay with the novels-- or maybe PH would work better for Photoshop??
