I’ve always been a fan of Adobe products, but as a consumer / tinkerer in design, I couldn’t stomach forking over the dollars for awesome yet expensive Creative Suite (CS) package.
Enter Adobe Creative Cloud.
Starting at $49.99/month (1 year subscription), I can get access to the software I am interested in trying out. Thinking about who a this Software as a Service model also benefits, students, freelance graphic artists, start-ups. The idea that you can subscribe to a software package like Adobe CS on a monthly basis provides young aspiring artists to get up an going faster, with less up front capital expense.
If I was an aspiring graphic artist entrepreneur, I would definitely lean towards the cloud for software, additional storage, mobility…all of the benefits the cloud is supposed to deliver. But, I am not, so I ask you – the real graphic artists out there – is Adobe Creative Cloud something you would have used when you got started? Why or why not?
Here’s an infographic that breaks the cloud down in real savings to startups.

Just bought a 2 Tb seagate external drive which seems great and I am also going to fly into the adobe creative cloud but I can’t help wonder if it would be possible to install the adobe creative cloud on an external drive?
@Nathan Leeds Good question. Typically running apps from an external drive does not work, and when it comes to using Adobe’s Creative Cloud, I would assume you can work via their cloud, but save your work to a local disk. I would check with Adobe. Thanks for the biz, and the comment! Let me know what you find out. – Woj
