Book description
Real World Adobe Illustrator CS3 is the definitive
reference to Adobe's industry-standard vector graphics software.
With an easy, engaging style, author Mordy Golding takes readers
through all of the features of the program, explaining not only how
to use the multitude of features but also why and when to use them.
This edition has been thoroughly updated for Illustrator CS3,
including insightful techniques on using the new Live Color
environment and its tools, a new Isolation mode for working on
complex artwork, and new tools for drawing, erasing, modifying, and
cropping graphic. New integration features with Flash CS3 are also
covered in depth; for example, readers learn how symbols can be
defined as movie clips for use in Flash. Now that Illustrator and
Flash are both part of several bundled offerings of the Creative
Suite, this coverage is a key part of the entire uninterrupted
workflow from initial concept to final execution.
Along with tips, sidebars, and expert commentary, there are also
numerous illustrations and screen shots included to offer readers
the most complete coverage on this extraordinary application.
Designers from all fields--illustrators, animators, package
designers, graphic designers, web designers, and more--will find
Real World Adobe Illustrator CS3 their one-stop guide to creating
powerful designs in Illustrator
