Exploring Illustrator CS FROM THE PUBLISHER
The computer book category is saturated with books on Adobe, Macromedia, and 3D Animation software programs. As a
leading publisher of design books for students and professionals, we hear daily from our customers that very few of these
reference books accomplish the most essential task - showing how to move beyond specific tools and functions to create lasting, memorable artwork. Let the Design Exploration Series get you started in the right direction with these design-oriented titles.

FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
This book jumps right into step-by-step projects, epitomizing the principle of learning by doing. A full-color insert helps illustrate techniques discussed; learning goals, chapter reviews, and suggestions for self-exploration aid designers in assimilating techniques and gaining familiarity with the program. The CD contains tutorials, chapter lesson files, and plug-ins. While the immersive approach might put off some beginners, intermediate designers will welcome the real-world focus as well as the detailed instructions, screen shots, and illustrations. An appropriate supplement to more introductory guides; for larger public libraries. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
