Before the speaker presentation, an optional training session was offered from Adobe. Creative Suite 4 Design Premium includes traditional design products for print as well as the latest for web and interactive design.

Mastering CSS and Web Design
Over the last several years, the world of web design has been undergoing a change, moving from the old table-based, non-semantic markup of the past into the world of standards-compliant web design. Getting a handle on the language of HTML, XHTML, CSS and AJAX can be a challenge. However, Dreamweaver CS4 makes it easy with CSS and also makes advanced AJAX development much more approachable. During this session, Adobe Evangelist, Greg Rewis, explores standards-compliant design—markup, presentation and behavior—while simultaneously looking at the new features in Dreamweaver CS4.

Flash Bootcamp: Actionscript for Designers
Today’s Flash encompasses not only greatly improved animation capabilities, but also advanced features like inverse kinetics and 3D manipulations, not to mention being the most popular video delivery format on the web. As a designer, one challenge continues to stand in your way – to get the most out of Flash, you need to learn a little Actionscript. During this session, Greg will tear down the Actionscript wall, exposing what you really need to know as a designer to get the most out of Flash.

Greg Rewis is the Group Manager, Creative Solutions Evangelism at Adobe Systems. With over 20 years of computer industry experience, Greg spends in excess of 200 days of the year on the road, talking with customers, giving product demonstrations at trade shows and seminars, and speaking at industry conferences. Greg is a recognized authority on CSS and Ajax, as well as the co-author of “Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS3″ and the updated “Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS4″ published by New Riders.

Launched by the Art Directors Club and Moleskine®, The Undiscovered Letter was a creative competition developed to raise awareness about lettera27. The challenge was open exclusively to past ADC Young Guns, who were asked to conjure up the 27th letter of the alphabet. Participants were encouraged to do away with boundaries and interpret this concept freely.

Every participant was given a custom Moleskine® notebook to sketch in. After developing their ideas, they were asked to submit one final project.

Based on jury scores, 27 finalists were selected. Among these, three projects were singled out as Judge's Favorites, and a fourth - the top-ranked project - was named the 27th letter.

An online exhibition of all finalists' work is now live. Check it out here.

Disclosure kicked off the launch of ADC Young Guns 6 and showcased the work of the Undiscovered Letter's 27 finalists.

The ADC Young Guns 6 call for entries, which opened online earlier that day, launched in a more literal manner at the event; Young Guns hopefuls were especially encouraged to attend to pick up the Call for Entries poster along with a booklet filled with advice from past ADC Young Guns.
The evening also showcased the 27 finalists of The Undiscovered Letter, a creative challenge in which participants flexed their imaginative muscle to conjure up the 27th letter of the alphabet.

Guests were invited to join in the evening's theme and disclose a little known fact about themselves - facts were exhibited anonymously throughout the gallery during the party, and guests voted on their favorites. The person behind the top-ranked fact - "I already stole CS3" - won Adobe CS3 Design Premium.

Disclosure happened on Thursday, April 3, 2008, from 7:30-11pm at the ADC Gallery. Click here for photos.

The evening was sponsored by Adobe.

ADC Young Guns - past and current - were invited to a private reception to learn more about The Undiscovered Letter, a challenge developed by the ADC and Moleskine to raise awareness about lettera27, a non-profit foundation devoted to defending the right to literacy.

Four ADC Young Guns shared—frame by frame—fresh new images. Each ADC Young Gun creates imagery using multiple formats and every tool available. They shoot in any medium, resulting in work that sits comfortably in several categories or in none. These image creators—photographers, videographers, illustrators and multi-media experts—shared how they break down traditional boundaries and explore the limits. This evening was a visual feast of fresh new work from a talented crew of image-makers.
