Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Adobe Illustrator is a fantastic program, but I won't surprise many of you when I state that Adobe Illustrator is not the easiest program to adopt on your own. I have taught inexperienced users from basic levels that are responsible for creating medical reports, illustrating machine parts, converting hand-drawn illustrations to digital, all the way up to more advanced folks that create interactive art and high-end design for print and fashion. Every one of these people need to understand core fundamentals that can make their job (no matter what the function) easier and less stressful. In this book I focus on the skills that are essential for any user. If you are new to Illustrator, or just never had formal training this book will enlighten you with tips and tricks and solid exercises to teach you what you need to know to get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of helpful information, July 28, 2011
By 
Maris (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrator CS5 Digital Classroom, (Book and Video Training) (Paperback)
I got this book because I had been struggling with Adobe Illustrator. It gave me solid information on how to use the Pen tool, which I definitely needed, as well as exercises to help me get up to speed in the fundementals and new features. I feel much more confident and I now look forward to working in Illustrator instead of dreading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've purchased!, January 14, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Illustrator CS5 Digital Classroom, (Book and Video Training) (Paperback)
This book was amazing! Initially it tells you to start out with Chapter 2 if you don't have any experience with Illustrator. I forgot about this when I started reading and went with Chapter 1. It didn't even affect me. The DVD comes with video lessons and files on it. Download it to your computer for easier and quicker access. Watch the video first and do what the instructor mentions. Then read the chapter in the book. Some of it is redundant but the book goes into more detail, giving you additional tips. They both work great together. I can't wait to buy more books from this series.
