Book Description

September 9, 2001 0201750422 978-0201750423

FreeHand is more than just an illustration package--it’s a complete set of professional drawing, page layout, and Web design tools, capable of handling everything from logos and infographics to user interface design and Web animations. Who better to unravel the complexities of the program than the people who created it? In Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source, the experts at Macromedia lead you step-by-step through real-world projects. No other book can make that claim--or make it easier for you to master FreeHand 10.

The book’s project-based tutorials let you learn at your own pace as you gain hands-on experience with the practice files on the accompanying CD-ROM. Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source starts with an introduction to the major features of FreeHand 10, then guides you through sample projects. You’ll learn the basics--combining text and graphics, working with paths and points, using layers and styles, and preparing files for a commercial printer--then move on to advanced topics, such as the editable symbol library and FreeHand’s rich integration with Macromedia Flash. At the end of this “desktop course,” you’ll be proficient at creating and manipulating graphics and text in FreeHand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn FH10 but not great, February 2, 2002
By 
Amy K. Yu "Pak K. So" (WHITESTONE, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source (Paperback)
This book does present many step by step examples with which you will learn how to use this program. I am using the book right now and am pleased with my progress. I am also pleased with how easy it is to draw using Freehand's tools to make vector graphics.

However, the book does have a slight tendency to word a step confusingly from time to time. I have even found that occasionally, I will have to figure out my own way to do something b/c the text wasn't specific enough. But this is rare.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you have F9 book don't buy this book., December 28, 2001
By 
This review is from: Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source (Paperback)
It is the same book as the 'Freehand 9 Authorized' by Macromedia Press, maybe because F10 is F9+some cosmetics. It is a step by step instruction book with 10 lessons. You may start using the Freehand 10 (or 9) as the absolute beginner with the help of this book. Almost all the tools of F10 are utilised, at least once, during the lessons. This book is a good introduction to F10 but lots of practices are needed after you complete the lessons, in order to 'learn' the tools and the capabilities of F10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 19, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source (Paperback)
This book has got to be the best book for learning how to use Freehand. I am very amazed with my progress and I am not even that far in the book. Each tutorial seamlessly builds on the other. This is an excellent buy.
