I recently finished a rather lengthy college course on learning the ins and outs of illustrator. I consider myself to be a little above average in computer skills, but this college course (especially the use of the PEN TOOL, was nothing short of a disaster. In desperation I looked around for a text because I really needed and wanted to learn more about Adobe Illustrator. ----THIS BOOK IS MUCH BETTER THAN MY COLLEGE COURSE.---- (and it certainly did not cost as much.) I have been using this book and learning with ease because of the well written text and amazing use of photos, graphics and visual learning aids. I must also give high praise to the order and pace of this book. The author has a great sense of how to build skills and how to teach. Illustrator can be used simply or the user can dive into the more deep and complex side of this program. I would trust and have great confidence in anything prepared by Sharon Steuer after working to learn Illustrator with the help of her book. After careful thought, I can think of no complaints, revisions or shortfalls of this book. In fact, I have nothing but high praise because of the presentation, clear way of writing and explaining and astounding use of beautiful and colorful images on nearly every page. If you are a person who still has Adobe Illustrator CS2 and cannot afford to update just yet, then get this book and get going! You may be surprised at how easily you begin to pick-up on some of the seemingly complex features of this program. Because of this book I now have the confidence to continue to learn more and eventually update to a newer version of Adobe's Illustrator. I consider myself to be a fair and sometimes harsh judge of learning books because I work as a teacher myself. This book gets my highest praise and highest compliments in every possible area. Go ahead......get and use this book with great confidence. Soon you will be producing computer art you once thought would be impossible for you!Read full review
