Creator Professional has long been relied upon in the publishing industry for its toolset that is built for streamlining productivity,” said Jim Douglas, CEO of MultiAd. “We wanted to extend the use of the application to anyone, regardless of their experience with design software. The Mac App Store gave us the ideal distribution method to extend the reach of the Creator-software family out to individual users.“ 

Creator Express is the ideal program for those requiring professional-looking design or page layout results. The software combines design, illustration and production tools in one application. The Creator-family of products has been recognized for its user-friendly interface layered on to a robust feature set since 1989.
