Book Reviews of Adobe InDesign CS4 Classroom in a Book
Book Review: Best Training Manual for Designers or anyone doing Print Graphics
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to learn about Adobe products, who better to learn it from than the folks from Adobe? Nobody knows Adobe products better than Adobe, I don't care HOW many books there are on the subject.
I have never taken a formal class in computerized design or print graphics. I taught myself Photoshop using Classroom in a Book a few years ago. And from that alone, I got a great job as a lead designer. So I can't say enough about these books.
Recently I decided it was time to focus on Illustrator and InDesign, so I bought the C.I.B. books for those programs in the current version that I'm using, which is CS4. I've just started studying them, but I already feel SO much more comfortable with those programs, and I've learned a TON.
Honestly, I cannot say enough about these books. They each come with a CD of lessons. The chapters are divided into each separate tool, so that you can really understand everything about the program. And it's all done in an easy to understand way. You can study the chapters in order, or as you need them. The books do not assume that you already know something about the programs, although the chapters do go in sequence, so they would presume that you know the data from the previous chapters if you skip around. Even veteran designers who already use the programs can learn a lot, as Adobe programs are quite robust and you could use them for years without even realizing that you're only using about 1/50th of the tools.
Just buy it. You won't be sorry. As a note, I strongly suggest you study it in FRONT of your computer and go through each action as you study.
