It always a treat to find some spare time to check out the latest product releases. This week I have been checking out the preview release of Adobe Edge, a new animation tool that outputs animations using HTML5/CSS3  and JQuery.

Traditional print layout has always been out of reach of the web designer. Want to wrap text around an irregular shaped image? No can do. Want to flow text across multiple columns? No chance.

Adobe have taken the first steps towards making this a reality with their CSS Regions technology. And though you shouldn’t expect to see this technology in mainstream browsers anytime soon, it’s certainly one to keep an eye on.
