This book is ideal for beginning to intermediate level students who want to master the key features of Adobe's powerful vector drawing software Illustrator CS4. Using clear, step-by-step lessons, each chapter contains a project that builds upon the student’s growing knowledge of the software, while review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce key concepts and skills. Some of the powerful additions and enhancements covered are: multiple artboards, the Blob Brush tool, transparent and elliptical gradient options, Adobe Flex 3 integration, and much more. Besides learning Illustrator, students also learn key concepts in productivity, efficient workflow, and good print design. The companion CD includes sample project files for students to use as they work their way through the lessons in the book.For CD-ROM content, link to: http://www.peachpit.com/ebookfiles/032157401X*The CD-ROM is not included with the digital version of this book.
