Hey guys today I’ll be a bit polemic but i think that the differences in term of price, that i’m gonna show you ,are something unbelivable..

In the common sense to be a graphic designer usually you need at least 3 instruments: the Adobe Softwares, a Mac and a Wacom Tablet..

In this particular case I’m considering the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, the MacBook Pro 15”, the Wacom Intuos 3 A5 or 6”x8”.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium directly from the site adobe.com: US 1799 $, UK 1436 £, IT 2638 € and converting them all in € >> US 1391 € > UK 1643 € > IT 2638 €..

MacBook Pro 15” directly form the site apple.com: US 2000 $, UK 1370 £, IT 1800 € and converting them all in € >> US 1579 € > UK 1548 € > IT 1800 €..

Wacom Intuos 3 A5 or 6”x8” directly from the site wacom.com: US 329 $, UK 227 £, IT 329 € and converting them all in € >> US 260 € > UK 256 € > IT 329 €..

Now the total price in € >> US 3230 € > UK 3447 € > IT 4767 €

DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS NORMAL???????

First redesign for my site and it’s something huge.. I’ve been working on this new theme customized for Twitter and with some experiments (flir and some j-query, etc..).

So the new version of my blog it’s up and it’s called “Life in CMYK“..

Hope you guys like it (some feedback will be appreciated) and tell me if you find any bugs..

From now on I’ll post more because in the last period I had not a lot of time to write here..
