Here’s an SWO Perk for You
Did you know that, as an STC-SWO member, you are part of a user group that gives you access to all kinds of reader-friendly perks. Here’s part of an open letter from Peachpit Press to you:
Dear User Group members,
Our countdown to 2009 is marked with the release of more than thirty new titles—the New Year’s Eve Ball in Times Square has nothing on us here at Peachpit!
We’re covering everything from how socially conscious design can change the world with David Berman’s Do Good Design, to innovative storytelling techniques that you can apply to all aspects of filmmaking and media production with Norman Hollyn’s The Lean Forward Moment. There are many more great titles coming your way, including new CS4 releases.
Have a wonderful Holiday and see you in ’09!
