Behance is a portfolio site that every
designer knows about. It has, in relatively recent
times, become a thriving community where creatives
can upload their work and get feedback fromtheir
peers. Its also the go-to place for many art directors,
meaning if you have your work showcased on
Behance, then the next big commission could
possibly be just around the corner.
With over 50million visitors each month,
its fair to say that Behance is one of the most
popular platforms the industry has ever seen. It

Photoshop and Illustrator or using the Creative
Cloud desktop or mobile apps.
To share your work directly from
Illustrator CCor Photoshop CC, youll need to
select File>Share to Behance or you can click on the
Share icon in the lower-lef corner. Be aware that
youll have to crop an image fromyour project to be
displayed on the Behance portfolio site (the rst
time you share fromPhotoshop CCor Illustrator
CC) so choose wisely, as thatll be the rst aspect of
your work that visitors will come across.
Behance has become bigger and beter
than ever. As a Creative Cloud user, you should be
taking full advantage of this to get your work seen
by more of the right eyes.

CREATE A PERSONALISED PROSI TE
Set up your own professional portfolio in just six easy steps
4 Customise
The Design tab provides access to the
customisation tools that you can use to make
your ProSite uniquely yours. There are lots of
different elements you can adjust to change
both the colour scheme and layout. Start with
the Layout tab to set your overall parameters of
size and position.
1 Select a layout
First, make sure you have a Behance prole set
up, then visit the ProSite builder at www.
prosite.com. Log in to your account, and follow
the instructions to start building your ProSite.
Remember, ProSite is included within your
Creative Cloud membership, so theres no
additional cost.
2 Choose your projects
Underpinning the entire ProSite systemis the
idea of projects. These are like folders within
your portfolio, which let you organise the work
you want to showinto distinct areas. Howyou
arrange your projects is entirely up to you, but
youll need at least one to be able to start
building your ProSite.
3 Drag and drop
Once youve got your projects uploaded to your
Behance prole, you can drag and drop them
fromthe Projects panel into the Gallery tab.
This makes the projects available as part of
your ProSite. The systemwill also pick up any
changes you make to your projects, for
super-easy updating later.
5 Publish your ProSite
Once youre satised with your rst build, you
can publish your ProSite directly fromthe same
interface. Keep in mind that publishing is only
really the rst step: youll want to continue to
tweak your design and layout once you can
clearly see your design work in situ.
6 Share work to Behance
Nowshare some additional work to your
Behance prole fromany CCapp. In Photoshop,
for example, youll nd the option under
File>Share on Behance. You can also access the
upload facility fromthe CCdesktop app. Ensure
you upload your work into one of the projects
A
Behance enables designers across the
globe to collaborate and showcase their
work. What s more, i t s completely
integrated wi th Adobe Creati ve Cloud,
making i t easy to get your work online.

EVANGELIST Q&A: Rufus Deuchler
We caught up with
the Creative Cloud
evangelist earlier this
month to discuss the
changing nature of
Adobe tools and howthey can improve
designers workow

Creative Bloq: What are the standout

elements of Creative Cloud 2014 for you?
Rufus Deuchler: An update that really excites
me in this 2014 release of Creative Cloud is
the workow that we enable in applications
such as Illustrator, for example, to understand
CSS and SVG. Things that typically were really
hard to produce for designers. Now its a
simple copy and paste fromIllustrator into the
code or an export fromIllustrator to get the
CSS properties that can be used in a web
workow. In the past designers would use
Photoshop to create their web designs. Now
you can use the precision of pixel-perfect
vector graphics inside of Illustrator.
CB: Howdo you make sure the changes you
make are the ones the users actually want?
RD: Submissions fromthe users themselves on
our website we have a special formfor that.
And all of these feature requests make it into a
list for each product. These are then monitored
and they enable us to choose which to
implement. Then there are events like Create
Now where we get to meet the users. And
many of themcome to us and talk about their
workows. We listen to our users a lot. And
then of course there are our engineers, who
may have some ideas that our users are not
even aware of yet. So we combine a focus on
user experience, our experience and futurist
visions of what the applications could do.
CB: What products in the Creative Cloud
family excite you the most and why?
RD: The products that excite me the most as a
designer are Photoshop, Illustrator and
InDesign, as well as the fact that you can now
use mobile apps to start your creative process.
Also with our new hardware, Adobe Ink and
Adobe Slide, I can really start to ideate on the
iPad. And then theres the ability to use these
ideas directly frommy device just press a
buton and that goes into Photoshop and I can
continue to work on it. All of these new
workows that were enabling are exciting
because it makes everything so much smoother
(and less painful) for the user in the end.

now features an all-new selection tool, called Focus
Mask. Focus Mask creates selections by examining
which areas of the image are in focus, and selecting
these parts. Its a really useful automatic way to get a
selection started, although as with all the selection
tools youll need to manually tweak the initial
selection to get best results.
Improved Layer Comps
The idea of Layer Comps has always been a good
one, but they have, in the past, been a litle bit
clunky to use. The latest iteration of Photoshop
provides a signicant workow upgrade to Layer
Comps, with a redesigned Layer Comps panel that
shows which atributes each Layer Comp controls
and you can sync changes to multiple Layer
Comps. Additionally, when a Smart Object contains
Layer Comps, you can choose which Layer Comp is
displayed. A great update.
Typekit integration
Photoshop CC2014 has had a variety of
enhancements in the way type and typography is
handled. As well as a new solution for dealing with
missing fonts which automatically fetches fonts from
Typekit where available, theres also an enhanced
font search feature that makes it much easier to nd
the font youre looking for directly within the Font
Selection menu. Cool, huh!
Improved Smart Guides
Smart Guides is a handy feature thats perfect for
designers who are creating mockups inside
Photoshop. They make it easy to position elements
in relation to each other so that spacing is perfectly
balanced, or two objects align along an axis.
Photoshop CC2014 brings enhancements that
make Smart Guides easier to use, with a new
method of displaying the distance and alignment
of two elements, along with handy snapping options.
New Blur ef fects
Photoshop CC2014 adds two new blur lters to
the Blur Gallery: Path Blur and Spin Blur. Path blur,
as the name suggests, enables you to add blur along
a path thats either straight or curved. This opens up
a range of creative possibilities for creating a feeling
of movement. Spin Blur enables you to create
elliptical blurs perfect for making objects within the
frame appear to be rotating think in terms of
wheels, vinyl and so on.
Focus Mask
Much of the work involved in post-processing an
image inside Photoshop centres around generating,
manipulating and saving selections. This has always
been a strength of the sofware, but Adobe has
been progressively improving the range of selection
tools with each new version. Photoshop CC2014

Anchor Point enhancements
The way you work with anchor points in Illustrator
has become much more exible in Illustrator CC
2014. You can now make anchor point handles
unequal. Previously, when you dragged the handles
of a smooth point using the Pen tool, they remained
equal in length and paired. Now, if you press the Ctrl
or Cmd key as you drag, you can keep thempaired
but make themunequal in length.
In addition, you can repair broken
handles. You break the pairing of anchor point
handles in order to create corners in a path but
sometimes you need to make a corner point smooth
again. There were ways to do this in the past, but
they aected the original curve. Now you can use
the Anchor Point tool, along with the Alt or Option
key, and click on one of the handles to make the
point smooth. This pairs the anchor point handles,
making the point smooth, but keeps the opposite
curve intact.
In addition, in Illustrator CC2014, you
have beter control when closing paths. Previously, if
you started drawing a shape with a smooth point,
your initial curve would change when you closed the
path. Now, when you close a path its much easier to
keep the initial shape. Finally, the ability to
reposition a closing point is great as you nish
drawing a shape, you can now reposition the nal
closing point as youre drawing.

Live Shapes
The headline feature in Illustrator CC2014 is Live
Shapes. This enables you to create and control the
dimensions and radii of rectangles and rounded
rectangles dynamically, either with on-art controls,
or by entering precise numbers in the Transform
panel. It used to be that once youd created a shape
inside Illustrator, it was a path and that was that.
Rectangles now have quickly modiable corners,
including independent radius control for each
corner. As well as this, corner atributes are retained
if you scale and rotate your rectangle and
Illustrator is clever enough to remember your
setings so that you can quickly return to your
original shape if desired. This is a small tweak but
makes a noticeable dierence when drafing
mockups, for example.
Pen tool preview
The Pen tool has been upgraded so that you can
now see a preview of the path youre drawing
before you click to place the next point. This
preview takes the formof a rubberband-like ghost
line, showing how your point will aect the path if
you click to drop an anchor. This takes a bit of
geting used to, especially if youre a long-time
Illustrator user, but it makes the Pen tool far easier
to understand for new users, and provides a handy
preview that enables you to achieve more
predictable results rst time, every time.

Typekit missing fonts workflow
Illustrator CC2014 enables you to check for
missing fonts on Typekit with a single click. Its not
going to solve the issue where a customfont has
been used, but if youre working on a le with fonts
that came fromTypekit it essentially solves the issue
outright. Handy!
Snap to pixel, point, and grid updates
When snapping is turned on, your anchor points
align perfectly to your choice of pixel, grid, or point.
But your anchor handles should not. Theyre now
disengaged fromsnapping so you can preserve the
precision of your curves and achieve ne control
while editing essential for those working on
precise illustrations, UI elements or logo designs.

EVANGELIST Q&A: Michael Chaize
The senior Adobe
evangelist explains why
web designers should
be excited about
Creative Cloud 2014
Creative Bloq: As a Senior Creative Cloud
evangelist, what does your role at Adobe
involve, exactly?
Michael Chaize: The mission of an evangelist is
to inspire the community of creatives, and
excite themabout all the new features of
Creative Cloud 2014. And also to explain how,
for example, a photographer can become a
video maker or how a traditional designer can
become an object designer thanks to the
technologies that are available in Creative
Cloud 2014.
CB: Edge Code and Dreamweaver take
dierent approaches to CSS, HTML,
JavaScript and web development, but there
are a lot of similarities. Howdoes a designer or
developer decide which tool to use?
MC: If you want to design and publish a
website you have several options. You have
Adobe Muse if you are a traditional designer
and you dont want to deal with the code. You
have Dreamweaver, with the powerful new Live
View. If youre a pure developer and you really
want to quickly code and add CSS properties,
then theres Edge Code a very light and
powerful code editor. Edge Code is based on
Brackets, an open source project. Brackets and
Edge Code are not only developed by Adobe
engineers a lot of people fromthe community
contribute and add features.
CB: What areas of Creative Cloud 2014
should excite people working in web design?
MC: What excites me for all web designers in
this new release is the fact we used to have
what we called a web segment with the web
tools. But now, the web is everywhere and in all
the Creative Cloud 2014 apps, including
Illustrator for instance, where you can directly
design a page and then extract all the CSS
properties and generate the assets. The same
goes for Photoshop. Now you can generate the
assets just naming a layer for instance icon.
png will generate the png le in the
background. Weve added new features in
Photoshop for layout designers. If you want to
easily place elements on the page you have
Smart Guides. There are a lot of new
technologies enabling you to quickly lay out
your web pages.

interactive HTML tree. This works for both static
and dynamically generated content, and you
can modify the structure directly fromthe tree
handy for dragging content around. Element Display
enables you to quickly identify available classes
and IDs, assigning and associating themwith specic
HTML elements fromwithin Live View another
great productivity boost.
Live Insert
Live Insert is new to Dreamweaver CC2014, and
enables you to insert HTML elements directly into
your document fromwithin Live View. Using the
Insert panel, new elements are rendered into the
document in real time without having to switch to
Design/Code view and back.
Live View Property Inspector
Along the same vein, the Property Inspector is now
also available in Live View enabling you to quickly
identify the properties aecting a specic element,
and make edits to that element without having to
swap back to Design/Code view.
New CSS Designer
The CSS Designer has been signicantly enhanced
in Dreamweaver CC2014 including tabbed controls
that make it easier to set border properties and
reduce the amount of cluter (and make it easier to
spot the individual properties you want to work
with). Theres also a handy new Box Editor that
eases the development of rounded corners, padding
and margin when creating text boxes. The selectors
engine has also been upgraded, making it easier to
control the amount of specicity being applied to a
particular CSS selector.
Copy and paste styles
Dreamweaver now enables you to copy styles
directly fromone selector to another. You have the
ability to either copy all styles, or simply choose a
subset fromstyle categories such as Layout, Text or
Border. Copying styles is a simple case of right/Ctrl
and clicking an element selector, and choosing the
styles youd like to copy fromthe pop-up menu. This
isnt a dramatic feature but it has the potential to
save so much time in your web workow.
Element Quick View and Display
The new Element Quick View features enable you

EVANGELIST Q&A: Jason Levine
Jason Levine is the
principal worldwide
evangelist for Creative
Cloud, focusing on
video products. Here,
he explains whats newin Creative
Cloud CC2014 for video professionals
and whats exciting himso much about
the release
Creative Bloq: What are the standout video
features of Creative Cloud 2014?
Jason Levine: With CC2014, we were trying
remove a lot of the typical frustrations and pain
points for editors. For example, we introduced
a new workow for colour grading between
Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade, called Direct
Link. This was once a workow that was very
render intensive rendering out of your NLE
into your grading app, grading, rendering it
back out now we can send fromthe Premiere
timeline to SpeedGrade, so you can performa
grade and send it back. Theres no rendering
and youre working with native footage.
The other thing that I really consider
to be a standout feature are some of the new
masking capabilities and eects changes that
weve made in Afer Eects. Theres a new
Curves eect for instance; and the ability to
apply masks and have eects stay isolated to a
tracked mask. It all functions beautifully
combined with the Global Performance Cache
in Afer Eects which was introduced a few
versions back. Youre able to create as fast as
you can think now.
CB: What excites you most about working
with video in Creative Cloud?
JL: Its this idea of what I like to call cross-
continental client collaboration. Its the idea
that today you can work and collaborate with
people based on talent and not location. And
some of the new folder sharing and
collaborative abilities that we have in Creative
Cloud enable you to do just that. This is a
service that enables you as part of your
Creative Cloud membership to embed video
in any number of sites whether its Vimeo, Hulu,
YouTube essentially anywhere. You can also
upload directly to Behance and get feedback
thats going to help you make something beter.
This has opened up a whole new realmof
possibility for me Ive started collaborating
with people around the world who Ive never
met but whose similar artistic sensibilities have
brought us together. Creative Cloud is the
essential piece of that puzzle for me.

Afer Eects compositions without leaving Premiere
Pro CC2014. Bear in mind that this new feature
does require you to be using the 2014 release of

INK AND SLIDE
A NEW WAY TO CREATE
IntroducingAdobeInkandSlidetwoessentialpiecesofhardware
thatteamupperfectlywithCreativeCloud2014
Yes, its known across the globe for its sofware, but Adobe has now made its rst foray into hardware with
the introduction of two new, and frankly stunning, products.
The new digital pen and ruler have been christened Adobe Ink and Adobe Slide. Theyre
currently only available in the US through Adonit and will be rolled out in other territories later in the year.
They require an iPad (4th generation), iPad Air, iPad Mini or iPad Mini with Retina display. So what are they
and what do they do? Lets nd out

ADOBE INK
This undeniably cool bit of kit is a three-sided
hydro-formed aluminumstylus for iPad. The
ne-tipped, pressure-sensitive pen is lightweight and
balanced for a comfortable grip. The idea is that Ink
mimics a traditional pen more closely the nib is
smaller and oers much more control than other
devices, and its ergonomic design oers supreme
comfort for those sketching a lot on iPad. The unique
selling point of the device is the way it connects to
Creative Cloud, giving designers access to their
creative assets including drawings, photos and
Adobe Kuler colour themes (you can take all your
assets, Kuler themes and so on wherever you go and
transfer themto any iPad prety neat, huh?).
Theres an LED on the end of the device, making it
easy to spot which device is yours and see whether
its connected to an iPad. Ink comes with a charger
that also acts as a case, and the buton on the device
enables quick access to tools inside Adobes mobile
apps. A precision stylus combined with Creative
Cloud integration makes Ink an invaluable bit of kit.
PERFECT SHAPES
Slide lets you draw any
shape on your iPad including
straight lines, perfect circles,
classic French curves, and more.
All at a touch of a buton.
CONNECTEDTOCC
Like Ink, Slide enables you to
store all of your themes, images,
brushes and so on and then
access themon any iPad!
SLICKDESIGN
Slide has a stunning contemporary
design crafed out of aluminium it
perfectly complements the look
and feel of your iPad.
EASYACCESS
The single buton on Ink gives
you quick access to tools inside
Adobes mobile apps, enabling
you to concentrate on sketching
and not nding menu items.
PIXELPOINT TIP
Built using Adonit Pixelpoint
technology, Ink has a
pressure-sensitive, ne tip.
Perfect for sketching ideas in
Adobes range of mobile apps.
HYDRO-FORMED
Ink has a stunning premium
design and the hydro-formed
aluminiumshell feels great in
your hand.
PERSONALISE IT!
You can choose the colour
of the LED light on Ink.
Youll always know exactly
which device is yours!

ADOBE SLIDE
Adobe Slide is a digital ruler and companion to Ink
for iPad. Taking a modern twist on traditional tools,
Slide is designed for precision sketching and will help
you to draw straight lines, perfect circles, French
curves and balanced shapes on the iPad. And like
Adobe Ink, it stores all of your Creative Cloud assets
for quick access.
Slide certainly looks minimal, but its power will
surprise you. A single buton gives you access to
libraries of shapes in Adobes mobile apps. Its easy to
set up: just like Adobe Ink, pair the device with your
iPad (and Adobes mobile apps) via Bluetooth and
youre prety much away. A fantastic, and precision
tool for any designer working on the move.

If you place les in your Creative Cloud folder on
your hard drive those les will not only be
accessible when youre oine, but you can also log
into creative.adobe.comand share them. Once you
decide to share a le you can email a link to your
colleagues or clients and they will be able to view
your le in their web browser even if theyve never
heard of Creative Cloud or the Adobe applications
you used to create them. They dont have to create
an account or register for anything.
4 Ill lose all my files if I leave
When you create les with the various creative
apps fromAdobe, the les are yours. Adobe
doesnt take any ownership or copyright of those
les. If you decide to no longer be a Creative
Cloud member then you wont have access to your
Creative Cloud applications anymore, but if youve
got previous CS app versions, youll be able to open
your les provided that youve saved themdown to
compatible formats with your older applications or
other third-party applications. If you ever decided to
re-join Creative Cloud youll have access to the
latest Creative Apps again and youll be able to
continue working on your les.
5 Im forced to use latest versions of apps
With Adobe Creative Cloud you will always have
access to the latest Adobe Creative Applications,
but you arent forced to upgrade. You can continue
to run whichever versions of the sofware that you
want until you are ready to upgrade. This is crucial
CREATIVE CLOUD MYTHS
Putting the record straight
SinceAdobelaunchedCreativeCloudtherehasbeenmuchdiscussiononhow
itworksandwhatitincludes.Herearethetopeightmythsabouttheserviceas
debunkedbyAdobeevangelistTerryWhiteonhisblogatwww.terrywhite.com
1 Apps dont run in the browser
When people hear cloud they get visions of
running applications in a web browser. While that
may be the case with other cloud oerings, its not
the case with Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud
members download and install their Apps as Adobe
customers always have. The apps like Photoshop,
Illustrator, InDesign and even Muse runs fromyour
hard drive, not fromthe cloud.
2 You dont have to be constantly connected
Once we get past the fact that you download the
apps and install themon your hard drive, people still
sometimes think that they need to be connected to
the internet to actually run the apps. This is not true.
Your apps not only install on your hard drive, they
also can very much run oine.
Your computer does have to connect to
the internet once a month to verify that your
membership is still current, but thats it. Once that
check has happened you can disconnect. You will
need to be online when you install and license your
sofware. If you have an annual membership, youll
be asked to connect to the web to validate your
sofware licenses every 30days. But, youll be able
to use products for 99 days even if youre oine.
3 My clients/colleagues have to be members!
With your Creative Cloud membership you get
20GB of cloud storage. You can use this storage to
sync les between your devices and access themvia
the iOS apps like Photoshop Mix and Adobe Sketch.
T H E O U T R A G E O U S E I G H T
for workows that involve working with clients or
vendors that may not be on the latest versions of
the sofware. Creative Cloud paid members have
access to a select set of archived versions of the
desktop apps. Starting with CS6, select older
versions of the desktop creative apps will be
archived and available for download, but not
updated for the latest operating systems.
6 I have a Mac and PC I dont want to
join Creative Cloud twice
With Creative Cloud youre allowed to install
the sofware on up to two of your computers.
Just like you are able to do with the Creative
Suite applications. However, unlike Creative Suite,
Creative Cloud allows you to download and install
either the Mac or Windows versions for each
computer. This is great for people that have say
a Windows PCat work, but a Mac at home.
7 I dont want to pay monthly
You can buy a year of Creative Cloud at once.
8 I only want to use Photoshop CC the price is
too expensive for just that app
You can get a Single App membership, or even
beter, the Photography membership giving you
Photoshop CCand Lightroom(plus a host of
Creative Cloud services) for just 8.78 per month.
