5.0 out of 5 stars Adobe InDesign CS Review, January 3, 2005

This review is from: Using Adobe InDesign CS, Photoshop CS, and Illustrator CS-Design Professional (Paperback)

The book is very well organized, progresses logically, and is well illustrated. It provides appropriate explanations of basic graphic design terminology as well. It will be excellent for an introductory survey class, especially for schools using the Adobe Creative Suite as their creative and publishing software base.

The overview explanations of each activity are informative, the following exercises clearly demonstrate the information, and I particularly like the summary statements at the conclusion of each exercise that remind the user of what was accomplished.

Another attractive feature is that the chapters in this book link to the advanced texts in this series so that students may progress without retracing their steps.

I have used two other very popular texts for this software and find Adobe InDesign CS, Photoshop, and Illustrator CSDesign Professional to be at least equivalent if not superior.
