This is the official training workbook for Adobe Illustrator cs.
The book is organized and laid out to be used as a textbook/workbook
for a class. But, if you dont have the time or money to take a class,
you can work through this book yourself.
All materials and files for the lessons in the book are included on the
CD (except, of course, for the application itself). Youll need to copy
all the files from the CD to your hard drive and work with them from
there, in order to make the changes to them as you work through the
lessons.
Before you get to Lesson 1, there is A Quick Tour of Adobe
Illustrator, an interactive demo that gives you an overview of the key
features of Illustrator cs. You actually use one of the art files on
the CD and follow along with the book to try some features. The book
says it takes about an hour.
This books will help you discover that even though Illustrator keeps
adding more features, it is actually easier to use than it used to be.
There are lessons on drawing with the pen tool, painting, working with
type, working with brushes and scribbles, using the airbrush features,
transforming objects, using the 3-D Effect (!), printing artwork and
color separations, and combining Illustrator graphics with Photoshop
images, and more.
Every lesson begins with a list of what youll learn in the lesson,
exactly which files from the CD youll need to use and how to set up
the document(s) youll use in the lesson. From there, it has very clear
lessons. Youll definitely learn how to use Illustrator if you follow
this book.
