Illustrator 9 Visual Insight

Illustrator® 9 Visual Insight teaches the most useful techniques of the program and allows readers to polish those techniques with real-world projects. Readers get straight to work on learning Illustrator's basic features like drawing techniques, using layers, masks, filters, actions, and creating illustrations for the Web. Real-world projects let readers apply their knowledge first hand by creating text effects, product brochures, Web logos, and developing a Web site interface. Like all Visual Insight books, this book appeals to visual learners who need to see - rather than read - how to create something. Its unique format allows readers to see an effect in the book and then duplicate it on their screen. Unlike other small sized books, Illustrator 9 Visual Insight features a 16-page color section that illustrates color related tasks and finished projects.
