Adobe Annual Report 2002 Adobe Systems Incorporated 2002 Annual Report 2 Letter to our stockholders 8 Twenty years of helping people communicate better 10 Building an ePaper platform for the digital enterprise 17 Helping creative professionals assert their visual voice 21 Opening the digital darkroom to home and business users 24 Adobe and the future Mission Statement Founded in 1982, Adobe Systems Incorporated helped launch the desktop publishing revolution. Twenty years later, Adobe software products and solutions lie at the heart of an equally innovative com- munications model: Network Publishing. With Adobe tools for Network Publishing, enterprises, creative professionals, and home and office users can make reliable, visually rich information available to anyone, anywhere, on virtually any device. One of the world’s largest PC software companies, Adobe generates annual revenues exceeding US$1 billion. Today, more than 3,000 employees across the world share Adobe’s commit- ment to helping people commu- nicate better. Headquartered in San Jose, California, Adobe is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol ADBE. Welcome This was the year that Adobe Systems celebrated its twentieth anniversary; from Adobe® PostScript® to Adobe Photoshop® to Adobe Acrobat® software, we’ve built a legacy of tech- nological leadership that few software compa- nies can match. This was also the year that we extended our solutions into the enterprise. After two decades of helping creative professionals and workgroups communicate better, we introduced robust, server-based solutions for large organiza- tions and government agencies that help stream- line document processes and deliver enhanced return on existing technology investments. Through it all, we maintained our commitment to our core customers, delivering and supporting the products that help creative professionals work smarter and assert their visual voice. We also gave home and office users the software they need to express themselves through digital photography and video. Today we’re thriving on innovation, cultivating ethical business practices, and striving to provide return for our stockholders through careful management of our resources. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to our fiscal year 2002 Annual Report. 1 To our stockholders John E. Warnock Chairman of the Board Bruce R. Chizen President and Chief Executive Officer Charles M. Geschke Chairman of the Board As Adobe Systems’ twentieth year of helping people communicate better comes to a close, we’re pleased to see our customers using Adobe solutions—as well as complementary technologies from our partners—to create, manage, and deliver visually rich information to anyone, anywhere, on any device. For the fourth consecutive year, strong sales of Adobe Acrobat software licenses have contributed to making the enterprise our single greatest market opportunity. We’ve made significant inroads with Adobe InDesign® page layout software. And Adobe Photoshop Elements software has been embraced by over a million customers as the professional-quality, mid-level digital imaging software of choice. 2 3 Still, this past year many of our core customers Financial overview grappled with unfavorable business conditions and For fiscal year 2002, we are reporting earnings of market uncertainty.

    Ratava’s Line: Emergent Learning and Design Using Collaborative Virtual Worlds Steve DiPaola Daria Dorosh Galen Brandt Simon Fraser University Fashion Institute of Technology Digital Space Commons [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Ratava's Line is an online, 3D virtual world fashion and interactive narrative project created collaboratively by students at both the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City and at Interactive Arts at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Vancouver, Canada, using emergent, collaborative 2D and 3D systems. This distance learning project, developed over two months and culminating in an online event in multiple, remote locations, integrated three key design elements: the translation of original 2D fashion designs from FIT students into 3D avatar space; exhibits of artwork of student and professional artists from New York City and Vancouver in virtual galleries; and creation of an interactive narrative "fashion cyber-mystery" for online users to participate in and solve in a culminating, cyber-physical event. The overall project goal was to explore how online collaboration systems and virtual environments can be used practically for distance learning, fashion and virtual worlds design, development of new marketing tools including virtual portfolios, and creation of cross cultural Figure 1.

  • The Foundation of Computational Visualistics
    Variations and Application Conditions Of the Data Type »Image« The Foundation of Computational Visualistics Habilitationsschrift zur Erlangung der Venia legendi für Computervisualistik (computational visualistics) angenommen durch die Fakultät für Informatik der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg von: Dr. rer. nat. Jörg R.J. Schirra (Dipl.-Inform.) geb. am 03. August 1960 in Illingen (Saarland) Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Thomas Strothotte Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster Prof. Dr. Arno Ros Prof. Dr. Jerome A. Feldman Magdeburg, den 11. Mai 2005 THE FOUNDATION OF COMPUTATIONAL VISUALISTICS i A NOTE AHEAD This book is a map. It maps the landscapes of the country of digital images, or, as it was lately renamed, the realms of Computational Visualistics. Like any picture, a map – and hence this book – is a context builder: it allows the readers to ex- plore different paths in an abstract region, to connect many landmarks on several ways, and to establish their own distinctions of figures and backgrounds according to their proper interests. However, a text is bound to its linear progression of propositions woven into the digital fabric of argumentation that only mimics the true spatial quality of images. As an extended path, read- ing this text snakes through the map in the effort to systematically cover all of its regions: the map only appears in the reader’s mind. Not all of the details present may be integrated on first view. After all: a real map presents all its details simultaneously, but only those details are ac- tually “read” that are relevant for the reader’s present intentions. The map reveals its contents not on a single glance.
