Serif (Europe) Ltd – the UK’s leading independent desktop publishing, design and graphics software developer – today announced the launch of the latest, Vista™-ready version of its popular Student Creativity Suite.

Student Creativity Suite 2008 (List price £29.99) combines Serif’s software – accredited under the Department for Education and Science CurriculumOnline scheme – with tutorials and extra resources. The suite provides students at Key Stage 2 right through to University everything they need to develop their creative potential. Student Creativity Suite 2008 is a great value opportunity to learn design techniques and create professional-standard work for projects and assignments.

Serif Student Creativity Suite 2008 contains:

• DrawPlus 8 – Serif’s powerful vector drawing package steps up a level, introducing Natural Media Brushes for realistic charcoal, brush, pencil and other artistic styles with paper textures, PDF import/export, enhanced CAD file support, and a great range of new templates and gallery objects. The selection of powerful drawing tools and features, such as 3D shapes, mesh fills, feathering, filter effects, transparency and the outstanding Smart Curve Drawing tool, gives students complete control over the creation and manipulation of their artwork.


• PhotoPlus 9 – Advanced-level tools make it easy to import, edit and export image files, whether for including in study projects, printing, sharing via email or uploading to a website. Photos can be tweaked easily so that common photographic problems such as red-eye and incorrect exposure don’t detract from the intended results. PhotoPlus 9 gives confidence that users will have all the tools at home or college to get the best out of their photos and digital images. PhotoPlus 9 also includes 3000 Photo Objects, tutorials, and Instant Effects.


• ImpactPlus 5 – Serif’s 3D graphics and animation package tames the often unnerving realm of three-dimensional design and animation. Offering a rich set of design features, including object colors and styles, scene backgrounds and lighting, with camera paths and particle systems for impressive animation effects, ImpactPlus 5 is capable of creating amazing artwork that will add impact to everything from logos, presentations and website banners to movie intros and outros.

Serif Student Creativity Suite 2008 is the invaluable resource for anyone wishing to affordably create professional-looking designs. Student Creativity Suite 2008 has gained “Works with Windows Vista™” logo certification.

“Serif’s Student Creativity Suite 2008 offers fantastic value for money, not just for Graphic Design students but for any student wishing to create professional-looking assignments on a limited budget”, said Gary Bates, Serif’s Managing Director. “Graphical communication is increasingly commonplace in modern society and, by learning to incorporate good design into their assignments and coursework, students are giving themselves a great advantage later on when presenting themselves to prospective employers or clients.”

Serif Student Creativity Suite 2008 is now available from PC World, Amazon.co.uk and other leading retailers.
