Adobe Launches Comp CC, Bringing Powerful Layout-Design Capabilities to iPad

Design Work Can Now Begin on Mobile Devices and Be Perfected
With Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign CC
Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the availability of Adobe
Comp CC, a free iPad app that enables the rapid creation of layout
concepts for mobile, Web and print projects. With Comp CC,
designers can start layout-design projects on iPad, creating
concepts that incorporate previously created assets and then easily
move to the desktop where essential Adobe Creative Cloud tools,
including Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign CC, can be used
to create production-quality work.
Comp CC extends the mobile and desktop workflows enabled by
Creative Profile and Creative Cloud Libraries. Creative Cloud
Libraries consist of design assets — such as images, colors, text
styles, brushes and more — that members have created with Creative
Cloud tools. And a member’s Creative Profile surfaces their
libraries, as they move from app-to-app and desktop-to-device, in
the right context — enabling members to effortlessly work across
devices and apps. Thanks to their Creative Profile and associated
Creative Cloud Libraries, Comp CC lets designers quickly combine
the Typekit fonts, relevant images, color swatches and shapes they
need to jump-start layout-design projects on iPad and later
continue their work in CC desktop tools.
First previewed as a sneak at Adobe MAX, the Creativity
Conference, in October 2014 under the name “Project LayUp,” Comp CC
is a robust, powerful composition app built on the Adobe Creative
SDK, allowing designers to use simple iPad gestures to quickly
produce high-fidelity layouts. Comp CC joins Adobe’s family of
connected Creative Cloud mobile apps, including Illustrator Draw,
Illustrator Line, Photoshop Sketch, Adobe Shape CC and Adobe Color
CC.
Adobe Quote
Scott Belsky, vice-president, products at Adobe“Doing creative
work on a mobile device is only useful if the results can be synced
to the desktop, where the project can be perfected in a precise,
professional-grade tool like InDesign or Photoshop. With Comp CC
we’ve simplified the design process, helping creatives take their
initial layout-designs on iPad and make them the basis of
high-impact finished work on the desktop – all thanks to Creative
Cloud.”
Designer Quote
Khoi Vinh, former design director of the New York Times and
named one of Fast Company’s 50 most influential designers in
America in 2011“When Adobe first approached me about ideas for a
new design app, I talked to them about the untapped potential of
the iPad for graphic and digital designers. I saw an opportunity
for a product that could make the creative process much richer and
more immediate – while still being complementary to designers’
existing workflows. Our collaboration on Adobe CC has been amazing;
the company’s deep expertise in creative software plus the
comprehensive power of their Creative Cloud platform were essential
to this product – only Adobe could have brought Comp CC to
life.”

About Creative Cloud
With approximately 4 million paid members, Creative Cloud
features the world’s leading creative desktop apps, a growing
family of mobile apps that are seamlessly integrated with
the desktop apps and creative assets, expert training,
and access to a dynamic creative community where creatives can
discover inspiration and opportunity.
At the heart of Creative Cloud is a Creative Profile, the
member’s creative identity. The Creative Profile connects users to
their Creative Cloud Libraries — assets such as photos, colors,
brushes, shapes, fonts, text styles and graphics. With a Creative
Profile, this library is always at the designer’s fingertips
because their Creative Profile moves with them, across
apps and across devices.
Creative Cloud is transforming how creatives find inspiration
and produce their best work — and the value of Creative Cloud is
increasing all the time through product updates and new
capabilities. A major update to Creative Cloud is expected in the
coming months that will introduce new ways for creatives to connect
their creativity across mobile and desktop, accelerate their
productivity, and work more efficiently.
For Everyone from Individuals to Enterprises
Like the full family of Creative Cloud mobile apps, Adobe Comp
CC supports usage on an individual basis or as part of a creative
team in an enterprise with support for Federated ID with SSO.
