Illustrator 7 Complete addresses both Windows and Macintosh versions of the products and covers everything from interface basics to Web output. First you learn about customizing the interface; creating, importing, and exporting files; using templates; and using Illustrator's drawing and path-creating tools. Then the authors discuss how to paint, create patterns, edit graphics, work with raster objects and layers, drag artwork into Photoshop, use type tools and create text effects, create masks and blends, work with special effects, and use built-in and third-party filters. Finally, you learn about outputting your work, whether it's bound for a printer or the Web. You get an excellent combination of step-by-step instructions and explanations of features, and the book is well-illustrated throughout.
