Book Reviews of Adobe(R) Illustrator(R) 9.0 Classroom in a Book

Book Review: Classroom in a Book, the best way to learn Adobe Products
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are new to any Adobe software, the best way to learn it, is the Classroom in a Book. These books are well-written, the exercises are excellent and easy to follow and Adobe does a good job of setting up a logical order of features to learn. If you buy this book and complete it, cover to cover, you won't be an Illustrator expert. You will, however, have an excellent foundation to becoming an expert!

As a professional designer, I have been using Adobe products for years now. Every time a new version of Photoshop or Illustrator comes out, I purchase the Classroom in a Book to go along with it. Not only do I learn the new features, I also fill gaps in my knowledge. (You'd be surprised how often we "experts" don't know (or forget) some of the basics, making some of our tasks more difficult than they need to be.

Another note, if you are new to design, pay careful attention to the look of the completed projects. The were obviously put together by excellent designers.

My only complaint with Adobe is...given the price of the software, these books should be included in the package.

Summary of Adobe(R) Illustrator(R) 9.0 Classroom in a Book

Adobe Illustrator 9.0 Classroom in a Book shows users how to master Adobe Illustrator in short, focused lessons. Created by Adobe's own training experts, it covers all the new features of Illustrator 9, including added compatibility with Macromedia Flash, a new Transparency Palette, and superior vector and raster graphics. Readers start with an introduction to Illustrator's many tools, brushes, and palettes. Lessons include making selections, painting, gradient fills, drawing straight lines, using type and creating type masks, outlining paths with patterns, printing artwork, producing color separations, and preparing finished artwork for print or the Web. Each lesson builds upon the knowledge learned in previous lessons, so readers have a full tour of the software by the time they have finished the book. The cross-platform CD provides all the lessons and images needed for each chapter. Previous Edition ISBN: 1-56830-470-6
