Rating: Summary: If you're going to criticize someone... Review: This book came highly recommended by an Illustrator 10 instuctor. It's an excellent resource for a very powerful software application. One doesn't need to be very technically oriented to get the most out of this book. (Note to "A reader" from Hollywood, CA USA: You may benefit from the English course into which you suggested Chris Youngs enroll himself. I am confident that, if you do, you will learn that languages are always capitalized. Until then, perhaps you will realize that you do not possess perfect grammar skills either and your tacky comments should kept to yourself.)
Rating: Summary: Good book - if only it came with a box of Artistic Talent? Review: This is an excellent book for learning how to use the powerful tools and features in Illustrator. However, don't expect to find any artistic theory or design tips in this book. This is strictly a point-A-to-point-B instructional book that presents (relatively) enjoyable exercises to learn your way around, and not an ounce more. The author accomplishes the task of training you in the use of Illustrator. But just as a book on Microsoft Word will not make you a good writer, don't expect this book to make you a graphic design guru. :)
