Adobe: The Design Revolution That Changed Creative Work Forever

December 1982. Mountain View, California. Two men sat in a garage, staring at a problem that would change the world. John Warnock and Charles Geschke had just walked away from Xerox PARC—the legendary research center that invented the graphical user interface, Ethernet, and laser printing. They had spent years building revolutionary technology that Xerox refused to commercialize.
