Adobe kicks off their Black Friday sale early with up to 70% off Creative Cloud plans

by Leave a Comment

Adobe has just published their Black Friday deals and not only are they running some very attractive offers but they’re starting the sale early. As of today, you can get 40% off an Adobe Creative Cloud membership plan containing the entire CC suite of applications for individuals, almost 40% for businesses and almost 70% if you’re a student or teacher.

There is, naturally, a caveat. This cost is only good for a year. You can’t pre-pay for a decade at the reduced price. But, you’ll be locked into this price for the next 12 months and that’s all you’ll pay. When it comes time to renew, it’ll come back up to regular price – unless Adobe runs a similar deal in 2022 and you can get a reduced rate again next year.

The Canon EOS 5DS/5DS R DSLRs have just had an insane $2,400 price drop

by 7 Comments

The two high-resolution 50-megapixel Canon DSLRs, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are still very respectable cameras, despite having been released way back in early 2015. They weren’t cheap cameras, either, launching at $3,699 and $3,899. That regular retail price still stands today. Or at least, it did. Right now B&H is listing the EOS 5DS for $1,299 and the EOS 5DS R for $1,499.

Yes, you read that right. That’s a $2,400 discount from their regular retail price. I don’t know if they’ve put these offers up just to compete with Amazon Prime Day, or everybody’s just trying to unload stock in anticipation of a super high res RF mount camera that would destroy their value anyway. But if you want one, better hurry!

Adobe panics, knocks off 40% off “All Apps” CC annual package for a limited time

by 77 Comments

Adobe’s been getting a lot of press lately. Some good, but mostly bad. It’s caused a lot of people to become very upset, particularly people on Twitter who don’t understand what the word “subscription” means and think they’re still buying a perpetual license. Regardless, it’s bound to have lost Adobe a few subscribers.

To help draw in some fresh ones, though, Adobe is knocking 40% off the “All Apps” package in at least the USA and the UK. The regular $52.99/mo US package drops to $29.99/mo, and the UK’s £49.94 package comes down to a somewhat more manageable £30.34/mo.

How to deal with friends who want discount on your services

As a creative, I’m sure you have friends asking for your services – but they’d like to get a massive discount. Josh Enobakhare (aka Olufemii Tutorials) discusses this problem and offers some tips how to deal with this without offending anyone or undermining the value of your work.

Josh says his video is aimed mainly at those who offer expensive and large-scale services. However, from my experience, people will often ask for a discount no matter what you charge – so this video can be useful to everyone, really.
