MSD hosted the first of its free CS5 workshop series for the creative community on 22 July 2010. The CS5 Power Up workshop took place to a full house at the Vega Campus in Randburg with five dynamic speakers. Topics were wide-ranging and covered the three suite offerings from Adobe as well as a deep-dive for photographers as well as offerings from Adobe.

"Our intention was to give our customers an insight into the latest tools and services from various vendors that help enhance the creative experience. The CS5 Power Up workshop was aimed at presenting creatives with deep insights from industry experts." says Rehana Rajah, Managing Director of MSD.

"We educate our clients of the many possibilities through our many forums including the InDesign User Group, the Johannesburg Chapter of the Adobe User Group and our regular deep-dives. The CS5 Power Up workshop format is clearly something we'll do more regularly based on the positive attendance and feedback we've had from participants." adds Carla Scholtz, Training Manager at MSD.

"Value, value and more value is our mantra. Since it's creative value, its so much more compelling. Be sure to join us for our next gig. Lots of fun, learning and laughs." concludes Miguel de Carvalho, Lead trainer. MSD will be launching our Creative Conversations series where we will be inviting industry speakers from across the the creative landscape to share ideas and information with you. We've lined up discussions on principles of animation, sustainable use of paper and the essence of creative thinking as some of the topics for discussion.
