This review is from: Adobe Illustrator 10 VTC Training CD (CD-ROM)

In the past, I've bought some books and CD tutorials to learn different programs. This one is by far the best way to learn! The author narrates while demonstrating what he's teaching. This way you get hands on experience as you can see where the tools are and how they are used. You can pause while trying it out in the program yourself.

The only drawback is that I find it really repetitive. I'm assuming that's so you can choose any topic and jump right in. Since it's a beginner's training CD, I'd expect to start from the beginning and follow along in the order the topics are listed.

I would have liked to have seen more on some of the tools that were only briefly mentioned and some settings which were not explained at all.

There are 2 courses for Illustrator 10 by VTC--the other is called Techniques. Some reviews leave you confused as to which is for beginner's or if you really need one. I ordered both and the Techniques one was confusing since I didn't know anything about Illustrator beforehand. If you're a true beginner, this is the training tutorial to purchase.

I've only had it for about a month and I'm happy that I can keep going back over the different sections as I need to until I fully understand them. I am glad I purchased this training CD!
