If you're ready to be inspired, you couldn't pick a better teacher than the team behind many of the design elements in the latest version of Illustrator. Using the templates that ship with the program as a starting point, this beautiful, full-color book teaches a wide range of Illustrator techniques through a series of fun and practical real-world projects--all developed by master illustrators Jerome D. Holder and Barbara J. Mulligan, who created much of the artwork that ships with Illustrator. After covering some Illustrator basics, Adobe Illustrator CS Idea Kit focuses on a series of projects, each of which hones in on a particular aspect of Illustrator through step-by-step instructions, variations (which allow you to customize the projects), and special design tips and tricks. At every point along the way, you'll find an illustration, photo, or screenshot that illuminates the discussion and provides further inspiration. By the end of the kit, you will have created a logo, business card, Web site, 3D icons, photorealistic effects, dynamic type, and more!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Uses Illustrator resources to the fullest,
By chkmtn "chkmtn" (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe Illustrator CS Idea Kit (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful. The author makes a consistent effort to use the drawings, templates and tools that ship with Illustrator and use them creatively. The book is especially helpful for projects that need to be completed in a very short time. None of the art or templates is used as is; they are all modified and adapted to the task at hand. I highly recommend this book to the advanced beginner or intermediate Illustrator user.

For a rather small book it has lots of ideas and try-its. I have tried several and they have led to more of my own.
