These days any graphic designer needs to be able to work with interactive digital media but Opus lets you offer more than just a keen eye and a few hyperlinks. Opus includes ready-made animations, example publications and template pages and also has drawing tools, blends and textures built in. Opus was originally created by a graphic designer when he couldn't find the software he needed to take his ideas further without getting too technical, so you can be sure it will work the way you do.

With a simple "select-and-apply" interface you simply select the properties or actions you need - no need for programming unless you want it! Opus makes it simple to develop polished, interactive applications and Flash animations in a fraction of the time. And that means a fraction of the cost so you make more money on each brief and/or you can quote competitively for more work.

The introductory edition is Opus Creator provides the low cost introduction for you to try your hand at basic interactive design. If you want to add custom functions and more in depth development skills then Opus Pro will take you as far as you want. In the latest version you can even extend Opus Pro with external DLLs allowing you to access spell-checkers or Windows dialogs and so on.

Some of the designers and developers working with Opus include:

•  Rossiter & Co
