Book Reviews of The Adobe Illustrator CS3 Wow! Book
Book Review: I liked it
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book since it is a requirement in my course to have one... I personally liked it because there are wonderful features and methods to create a nice projects. It is good for everyone who is looking for techniques, whether they're easy to difficult, to incorporate in their vector artworks. I recommend this book who is very enthusiastic about putting their vector-making skills to another level, plus, they feature different famous projects from well-known illustrator and be amazed of what they've done.
I rated this book three stars since CS4 will be available in few weeks and i don't know if this will still be handy...

Book Review: THe Adobe Illustrator CS3 WOW! Book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is not for Illustrator beginners. You need a lot of knowledge with the pen tool and this program. While the book has some great tutorials, they are not very detailed in steps. I will stick with books written by Adobe from now on.Book Review: Not enough steps!
Summary: 3 Stars
The book has a lot of pretty designs but not enough info. You have to have a high level of expertise to complete the exercises in this book. It is not like the Adobe Illustrator CS3: Classroom in a book.Book Review: The Wow is more of a what?
Summary: 2 Stars
This was required material for my digital Illustration class. Needless to say Adobe Illustrator beginners beware. Yes, this book has great content but does not take you through step by step with directions. Most of the exercises only supply a general overview of how to apply the techniques. Even though I am not a beginner with Adobe Illustrator there were points where the rest of the class as well as myself were completely lost with the instructions. I am going to go through a tutorial now and then I will try the exercises again, hopefully I will have better luck with it then.Book Review: Not What I Was Looking For
Summary: 2 Stars
I guess I didn't really know about Wow! books. I was looking for more of a step-by-step how-to book, rather than a generalized conceptual type book. I mostly end up using Adobe's online help now. A perfect example is I needed to take a shape and make it into a brush stroke. The book helped me realize I could do such a thing, but I had to go to online help to figure out how. I guess this isn't really the book's fault, but be aware of what you're getting.
