Book Description

October 1, 2008

Following the success of Digital Illustration and Secrets of Digital Illustration, Vector Graphics and Illustration turns the spotlight on this instantly recognizable and popular illustrative technique. Like its predecessors, this book is a highly illustrated but practical “how to” manual that looks at the creative possibilities offered by software such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. It makes a feature of the exemplary illustration work being created around the world, and especially in countries with an emerging graphic design scene, including Malaysia, Brazil, Singapore, and India.

 

Vector Graphics and Illustration explores the advantages of vector work, and how vector graphics are especially useful in the creation of minimal but high-impact work, such as information graphics, logo designs, characters, technical drawings, graphic novels, magazine illustrations, and graphics for clothing. This book taps into a vibrant and distinctive creative area that is under-represented outside software manuals and specialist magazines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice tutorials and good art galleries February 7, 2009
Length: 0:18 Mins
This book is in a way very similar to the Illustrator Wow series of books. There are tutorials and artist galleries.

The tutorials are short and each dedicated to a specific function of the software, in this case Adobe Illustrator. They are well captioned, easy to follow and learn. This book is a good supplement if you're learning the software from the manual or just starting out.

The artist galleries feature beautiful illustrations done vector-style. It really shows the capabilities and unique features of vector art well.

This book is great for beginners.

I still prefer the Illustrator WOW series because they pack in a lot more stuff. I would give the Illustrator WOW series 5-stars so I can't give it one here. But at least the price for this book is also lower.
