Another trend I’ve noticed is Adobe’s increasingly shallow, glitzy, youth-oriented marketing. It’s as though they’ve given up on both substance and anyone over the age of 29 as having any relevance.
I don’t find much of that appealing or even all that interesting.
I also noticed it doesn’t contain one man laying down with his cleavage hanging out or rubbing his neck seductively. I guess that stuff will always be trendy LOL
But, even if I wasn’t an old lady … this still wouldn’t appeal to me. I guess according to this, to be youthful you have to be dancing, jumping, working out or hanging on each other at all times. I’m exhausted just watching it
I had the same reaction when I watched part of Adobe MAX a few months ago. Adobe’s recent marketing seems aimed at an ADHD-afflicted party crowd of 20-somethings who are unable to digest anything but a stream of fast-moving pictures. There’s no useful information — just annoyingly amped-up visual noise.
btw … when I looked up what MAMIL meant, I found more pictures of this guy. He’s a real dude with a “skullet” as some call it. His handle is Biker Fox and even has a documentary about him. His real name is Frank P. DeLarzelere III. He claims to be a misunderstood motivational bicyclist, nature conservationist and muscle car guru.
He legally changed his name to Biker Fox after he lost a lot of weight riding bikes. He also does tricks like front flip dismounts.
I tried watching a clip and all he was doing was screaming so I couldn’t take it. Maybe there is something more worthy … but if I can’t take the screaming stuff. So this is all I can tell y’all
On another note, I want this font collection, and I want it bad. Actually, what I want is a job that could use these fonts. VVDS Sunchine Collection It’s only fifty bucks for the collection, I might go ahead and buy it. This would be great for the CD cover game. Funny thing, I like to think that I’m impervious to suggestive selling. Salesmen trying to upsell me don’t stand a chance. But when it comes to fonts … it’s a whole different story. “Why, yes, I would like to add that font to my order, thank you!”
LOL
…he’s into heavy metal and is balding 
The 80’s had a few of them
