Book description
Creative professionals seeking the fastest, easiest, most
comprehensive way to learn Adobe Illustrator CS5 choose Adobe
Illustrator CS5 Classroom in a Book from the Adobe Creative Team at
Adobe Press. The 15 project-based lessons in this book show readers
step-by-step the key techniques for working in Illustrator
CS5.
Readers learn how to create vector artwork for virtually any
project and across multiple media: print, websites, interactive
projects, and video. In addition to learning the key elements of
the Illustrator interface, they'll learn how to integrate their
artwork with Adobe Flash movies, Adobe InDesign layouts, and Adobe
Flash Catalyst software to add interaction to their designs.
This completely revised CS5 edition covers new perspective drawing
tools, variable-width watercolor strokes, multiple artboards with
video-specific presets, the new realistic Bristle brush and Shape
Builder tool, and the ability to maintain consistent raster effects
across media.
