Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Real World Illustrator 7 provides Macintosh and Windows users, both beginners and more advanced users, with an outstanding handbook on the new Adobe Illustrator 7. You first get an introduction to the package's interface, then you learn about drawing, using type tools, creating text effects, modifying paths, creating special effects, and working with color, fills, blends, and masks. The chapters on Bezier tools, type tools, and color management are exceptional. Step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations make learning Illustrator 7 easy and enjoyable.
From Library Journal
Neither of these books will give the novice a sufficient introduction to this complex program, now in its seventh release. Your collection might make do with an introductory text to an earlier version. But for advanced users moving up to Illustrator 7 from 6 or over to Illustrator from other programs, such as Corel Draw or Freehand, these books will offer all the latest developments.

3.0 out of 5 stars
The title is misleading,
By Mike Martel (Norman, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real World Illustrator 7 (Paperback)
Being new to Illustrator 7 I needed something to get mt feet wet. After reading Mr Staten Island's review I figured why not. The Author knows what he is talking about, but my biggest problem is the fact that there are no color pics at all to show you what a finished product looks like. They look like cartoons. Where are the "real world" examples? The chapter on wacky text effects is a joke, it gives you some insight but once again where are the real exapmles. Some of the examples don't come out like his do in the book. This book is for someone who has a graphics background. I got a bad feeling about this book when I first opened it. This book may help you, but it sure didn't help me. I feel like I wasted some money on this.

By A Customer
This review is from: Real World Illustrator 7 (Paperback)
I bought this book as I was new to this software. It does explain in detail the various points. I feel their should have bee a chapter for using Illustrator for web and a bit more on using Illustrator ad Photoshop together

Worth the Price of Admission!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real World Illustrator 7 (Paperback)
This book provides a wealth of knowledge. The author tries to be as concise as possible, but with all the info given it proves to be difficult at times. It is a good building block for the beginner, as well as a good reference guide for the intermediate and advanced graphic artist. He seems to cover all bases on most subjects. I give it thumbs up Roger!
