About the Book

Get hands-on, project building exercises, and a CR-ROM full of tutorials from this top-selling series by Lynda.com. Adobe Illustrator CS Hands-On Training uses guided, tutorial-based exercises to teach you how to use Illustrator CS to create high-quality artwork. In this book, you'll find carefully developed, classroom-proven lessons and exercises. Each lesson contains extensive background information, which helps you understand the process as well as the particular exercise. You will learn about creating and editing vector-based artwork, with an emphasis on mastering the pen and path tools. You'll also learn how to work with the new 3D features, as well as typographic effects, integration with the other tools in the Adobe Creative Suite, and more. This book is designed for the reader who learns by doing. The accompanying CD-ROM contains guided exercises and QuickTime movies to meet the needs of beginning to intermediate Web designers, as well as Photoshop users who are looking for a great tool to create graphics for the Web. Adobe Illustrator CS was released in October 2003 for the price of $499 for the full version and $169 for the upgrade.
