Synopsis
Vector brushes are powerful and flexible tools for designers working with Adobe Illustrator, but there have been no books dedicated fully to creating and using them--until now. The Vector Brush Sourcebook equips designers with the technical information and creative inspiration they need to design and make their own vector brushes. It then demonstrates how to use them to create stand-out graphics and illustrations. Three-hundred brushes are provided on the companion CD with step-by-step tutorials on how to design and produce them, and examples of projects created with the brushes.
