The Adobe Illustrator CS Wow! Book


by Sharon Steuer

Best-selling author and award-winning artist Sharon Steuer is back with the next incarnation of the one book that sets the bar for all others in the realm of Adobe Illustrator. Using this one in combination with the Illustrator Visual Quickstart book gives you a complete bookshelf for Illustrator.

Sharon uses four-color pictures of real Illustrator projects to show what's possible and then employs simple, step-by-step instructions to explain the techniques that will produce those effects. Beginners will find comprehensive ground-up coverage of all of Illustrator CS' most important capabilities, while veteran users will be grateful to explore Illustrator CS' new features:

Designed to dazzle and inspire but with enough straight instruction, you'll see all the key Illustrator features and functions in use, then learn how to do them. Follow along as real-world projects from some of today's top Illustrator artists are dissected into their easy to understand components. You'll be more creative and more productive because you know how to get there quickly and efficiently.
      On the CD, you'll find artwork from the book, technical documents, third-party software, clip art, and more. Most importantly are the gallery images from the book that you can open and learn how they're structured. It's pure inspiration.
