If you happen to be a student, I recommend getting your hands on Adobe Creative Suite 2 (Premium). If you don't happen to be a student, find a way to get this software for less than retail price. The best part of my day was not (finally) mailing off my MFA applications and portfolios, nor completing FAFSA forms online with the easy-to-use website offered by the government, nor discovering that I would actually get paid for proofreading a manuscript. No. None of those wonderful things. The best part of my day was sitting in front of my computer for nearly three hours, completely absorbed in the training video for Adobe CS2. It made me tingly. Oh, the things I can do with it! Maybe I'll start a magazine. Maybe I'll publish books. Maybe maybe maybe... the world opens up to me. I am inspired by slick graphics and an attractive user interface. I am captured. I am captive. I am amazed, in awe, jaw-dropped.
Yes. All it takes is some pretty pictures to inspire me. Sometimes life really is that simple.
