This book has taken me from being a part-time user of Illustrator to somebody who feels confident every time I now open up the application. Everything is bitesize and easy to digest. A must-have!

This review is from: Adobe Illustrator CS4 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)
I wouldn't recommend this if you've NEVER used Illustrator. However, it is a wonderful resource. I wish he made one for Premiere/After Effects. I teach my video students at the Defense Information School basic Illustrator. I use this book as a teaching guide. I find it more useful than Adobe's "Classroom In A Book." The explainations are crisp, analogies clear, tips applicable. I really like the layout. It reminds me of the "Dummy" series, but much more streamlined.Bravo for Chris Orwig! |
