In his latest book, Peter Bauer provides instruction for
getting the most out of the latest
version of Adobe Illustrator, a powerful graphics tool.
The book is divided into nine separate sections
covering numerous Illustrator tasks, including creative
tools, manipulating objects, enhancing illustrator objects,
customizing Illustrator, raster artwork, web graphics,
prepress and four-color process printing and actions --
just to name just a few. Each chapter in the book covers
a specific task, from creating shapes to using filters
and effects, and includes examples, trouble shooting
tips, notes and detailed instructions.
The appendix in the book includes
some extremely useful reference sections which cover
installing Illustrator, Illustrator assistance and resources
(including online resources), a breakdown of each of Illustrator's
tools with descriptions, an alphabetical guide to Illustrator's
tabbed palettes and a guide to each of Illustrator's
menus. This hefty, 850+ page reference book
also provides an extensive fifty page index so readers
can quickly locate topics of paticular interest.
This is a great tool
for Illustrator users of all levels, from novice to expert.
