Publisher Comments:

This thorough guide to Adobe Illustrator CS3 is ideal for beginning users who want to master the key features of Adobe's powerful vector drawing software. Using clear, step-by-step lessons, each chapter contains a project that builds upon the reader's growing knowledge of the software, while review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce key concepts and skills. Adobe Illustrator CS3 is jam-packed with new features and enhancements, including Live Color, a new environment that enables users to explore, apply, and save custom color configurations; improved integration with Adobe Flash CS3, which ensures that your vector illustrations import effortlessly to Flash with their anchor point positions, layers, and paths intact; a new Eraser tool, which lets users quickly modify objects or create entirely new shapes; a new Crop Area tool, which lets users set up a workspace so that it's automatically primed for the type of media that will display their design, whether it's print, Web, video, or film; new document profiles, newly improved drawing tools and controls, and much more. Whether you're brand-new to Adobe Illustrator or are looking for a project-based tutorial to familiarize yourself with Illustrator CS3's new features, this book provides you with the key techniques and tips you need to get the most out of this software.

Educational instructor notes—created to help teachers plan, organize, and time their lessons—are available for this book (and for other Classroom in a Book titles) at www.peachpit.com/instructorresources.


Book News Annotation:

This workbook reflects the needs of both amateur and professional designers as it explains both graphics theories and software manipulation procedures from the "getting started" stage to the subtleties of producing work for publication in print or online. Loaded with accessible illustrations and projects, this covers everything from loading the product and the contents of the CD-ROM bound in the book to learning new features for this version, loading photo images, accessing the work area (including using the trace function), selecting, aligning, creating shapes, transforming objects, drawing, coloring and painting, working with type, blending shapes and colors and manipulating layers, brushing, applying effects, and using more advanced features such as appearance attributes, graphic styles, symbols, combining images from other software and dealing with printing like a professional.
