Why pirate Adobe’s software when you can just use their brand and image without permission? Exactly my point. That’s clearly what the creator of these Creative Suite pillows had in mind. Instead of calling it an “Illustrator pillow” or a “Photoshop pillow,” this site chose to say “Blue Pillow with ‘Ps’ Lettering.” Trickery at its finest. $80 for the whole ...
