Photoshop Cruise!!!

Hey page12, what's the matter with NAPP?

I'm not sure how many, if any, members of teamps are NAPP members, so let me explain why it is a great organization. I've been in it since '98.

1. Photoshop User magazine is more of a manual than a magazine. I get more out of each monthly issue than I ever have a class, manual, or conference.

2. discounts, discounts, discounts. everything from books, classes, car rentals, hotels, etc.

3. Their help desk is insanely fast. Makes Adobe's look silly.

People complain about the price, but really, it pays for itself rather quickly if you travel, buy books or magazines.
For example, HOW Design and Design Graphics, Computer Arts are all around 8-9 dollars now anyway - Communications Arts is about 13 dollars - and don't even get me started on those grand publications that give you a "FREE" CD but cost 16 dollars - jokers!

Nothing... I am a NAPP member -- i just want to start my own thing... not sell/give to another company.

I love NAPP the quality of there stuff is great.

fair enough. I can respect that.

sounds like a cool idea. Are you getting any cooperation from Adobe? They might be the only photoshop artists who can afford to go! j/k...:D

2nd question...Might it not be a good idea to get that "PhotoshopCruise.com" site up ASAP? Even if it's just a couple generic cruise ship images and a form to sign up for email notification.

I'm just trying to provide some hints here to make people take this as a serious project. Afterall, you haven't really disclosed just which "2nd largest cruise agency in the US" is...you could just be some indy travel agent working out of your apartment, for all anybody knows.

Yeah, i am working on it -

I already sent all the papers to Adobe for permissions.... they said shouldnt be a problem - but i want to wait for them.. Also i want to wait till everything confirmed till i start really promoting and all... i just threw it up to get people signed on for the newsletter.

Pretty good concept...

Well if you can get good seminers in the boat it will be great!

Photoshop on the open sea... prove how much Photoshop is great!!!

Thanks.... Yeah the small theater can hold just over 350 people.... the big one can hold about 950, so we have room to grow (and this is on one of the smaller ships 70,000 tons.... Hopefully it will grow to one of the larger ships 130,000 tons.. with the rock climbing wall, ice rink etc. but those are $$$ -- this is much less.

Ahh- your right --- I work for Cruise Planners, we have about 400 agents and last year did 40 million in sales. We are top account with every cruise line, last year we were the #1 seller of Royal Caribbean cruises and are consistantly in the top 3 for the rest.

well whats the company?

That' would be so cool but sorry i can't go! :(
