Topic: Adobe Design Premium or Web Premium

Ok so, I am hopefully getting an adobe package of software (student prices FTW). Originally I was going to get Web Premium, but I have looked into others and found Design Premium. Now, Design Premium is £30 more expensive (student price), so I don't mind about that. But the thing is, there are minor differences:

They both have all of the same programs except from these:

Web Premium has Soundbooth, and Contribute.

Design Premium has InDesign.

I want to obviously be able to photo edit, make websites and all of the many other various things possible in this powerful series of software.
But, I'm not sure whether InDesign is worth getting. Bearing in mind that I would already get Illustrator, Photoshop Extended, Fireworks. But I know that InDesign is good for layouts etc, but what makes it different from fireworks?
Also, I don't really care about sound editing, and I'm pretty sure that Contribute is more for schools, so I'm not incredibly interested in that either. So I'm wondering whether it's worth sacraficing 2 programs and an extra £30 for InDesign. (On top of everything else).

Also, could someone please explain to me this:

I know that photoshop is photo manipulation/editing blah blah.
I have used Fireworks at school and from what I've seen it's sort of a more advanced paint (lol), but I know that it's good for web layouts etc.
But I don't have a clue what the differences are between those ^, Illustrator (sorry for possible incorrect spelling), and InDesign. What I mean is what do Illustrator and InDesign do that the others can't.

And plainly... what the hell is illustrator anyways mini/tongue

Thank-You.

P.S On further review I am leaning more towards Design Premium, but please, still comment. Cheers mini/smile

I'm back. Possibly.

Re: Adobe Design Premium or Web Premium

Ah OK. I'm not bothered about how to use the programs, I have used most of them atleast once or twice.

If they don't comment, what else would they do?
Also, is a thread full of "I don't knows" going to help? At all?

Re: Adobe Design Premium or Web Premium

InDesign is for designing print materials. Photoshop is specifically photo manipulation, Illustrator is for graphic design, and Fireworks is for designing web graphics.

Don't you want to be able to edit video with Premiere or add vfx with After Effects? IMO the best choice for a brickfilmer also interested in other creative suite software would be Production Premium.

Re: Adobe Design Premium or Web Premium

OK Thanks for the help mini/smile

And no, this isn't for brickfilming, I like web design/graphic stuff etc so I want to get one of these. (Design Premium most likely).

Plus my brickfilming sucks too bad for big softwarezzz like that.
