This review is from: Best Practice: The Pros on Adobe Illustrator (Paperback)
Amazon, please get this book up front in the search engines for Illustrator!!!! I stumbled on this book (and the Photoshop version) by accident. I love this book. It is so worn out that I might have to buy another copy. I take it to my Adobe illustrator classes and recommend it to everyone I see. I have to give them the exact spelling of the author and the book because that is the only way you can find the book on amazon!!! (Toni, you might want to change the title for your next edition) The book basically highlights 11 Illustrator artists' background and work. However, the best part of the book is that each artist has a unique way of using Illustrator for their work and each chapter provides instructions and excercises to learn these new techniques. If you want to get beyond the basic instructions provided by the few beginner books available on Illustrator and add more "professional" techniques to your arsenal.... get this book! I also like seeing new and different artists' work. I felt cheated when I got a subscribtion to Illustrator Magazine (now merged with Layers Magazine) and their website. They feature the same artists and artists' work that can be found in the WOW book, so it is refreshing to see other work.

This review is from: Best Practice: The Pros on Adobe Illustrator (Paperback)
I teach computer illustration and found this book to be very useful as to teaching skills while showcasing many styles. As a teacher I find that doing projects is the best way to learn. Most books have projects in one style-which may appeal to the teacher who selects the book, but not to the myriad personalities in our classes. There were a few technical glitches with the directions but that enhanced our problem solving abilities. I'm hoping to find a new version updated for CS3. Clearly, Toni Toland is a teacher who understands the needs of students today.

This product was shipped to me in due time, and in excellent quality I haven't begun to read through it yet but the fact alone that I received it in the mail on time and in good condition was more than enough to make me order from this seller in the future.
