Looking for:

Boring projects, hard to follow along, I kept losing my place. Works great for class. I’m not thrilled with the book at all. It might be ok for the more experienced, but for a complete novice like me, I’m having too many issues.

There is no such thing as video supplements for the lessons in the book. It moves WAY to fast, expecting miracles from students. For example with the very first project in the book, students are expected to create 15 different universal signs, but the book only gives directions for the first three. The other 12 come through osmosis. I need something much more hands-on with better step-by-step directions. It does not explain how to use the tools, where to find them in the program.

So I waste quite a bit of time just trying to find the tool before I think about using it. I don’t how I will ever complete all the projects for my class using this book that provides next to zero directions on how to complete any of the required projects. Can I change my review to zero stars? I ended up dropping the course because the book was impossible to follow.

I am learning so much more using this new book. Before I dropped the course, I told the instructor that the book is geared for advanced users, and I recommended she change textbooks for future courses.

Whereas before I’d spend at least an hour trying to find a tool and researching online on how to use it, I now understand where the tools are, what they are used for, how to use them, tips, and lots of practice exercises and projects so I can gain proficiency and confidence.

Besides using youtube tutorials, these books are my only resources i use. I purchased this book for a college course and I was pleased with the quality of the print. First, the content in the book was plentiful. Each chapter introduced new concepts and subsequent chapters continued to build on the skills taught in previous chapters.

Each chapter had several larger sections, and each section had a number of exercises to help develop the skills taught in the course — the base Illustrator files for each exercise were available on the companion website, and it wasn’t difficult to find. The end of each chapter has several projects to complete, and each one only reinforces what you’ve learned in the chapter.

Sometimes the projects give you step-by-step instructions, yet other times it gives hints on how to recreate the image in the book. There is so much practice in a chapter that, from start to finish, I feel very proficient. If I had one suggestion it would be to have more content for using 3D tools.

I felt inadequate and didn’t provide enough information to have a mastery of that functionality. It did cover the content and the lack of mastery may have been attributed to my skill. I can’t take any stars away for this point, but I did want to mention it. Great book. Thank you. This book is THE go-to book for beginners. There are so many short lessons in each chapter that build upon each other, that even the complete newbie emerges feeling proficient using Illustrator.

Before each tutorial lesson, there is a short page or two that introduces the tools being used and the “why” behind it, something most books lack. This book is giving me the confidence to learn the program.

The online files were easy to find, though I wish they were on a CD to make it even easier. One person found this helpful.

It seems to be a pretty standard “intro to program,” book. It’s good for beginners, though some of the things need to be explained more like when it says to change a setting, but doesn’t tell you where it is while others need to be explained LESS like when it keeps saying where a tool is multiple times on one page. The biggest down side to this book was that right before the end of the semester, the publisher decided to restrict access to the files that are necessary to do the activities in this book and this book is ALL activities.

Most other books include CDs with image files, but this one requires you to go to the publisher’s site.. Fortunately I finished the work before Thanksgiving break, but those who waited to do it over the break weren’t so fortunate. Maybe they fixed this, but hopefully no one has to go through this again. This is a pretty good resource for Adobe Illustrator. There were a few errors in the book, but much less than other books of this type on the market.

The beginning Illustrator students in my college class used this book on my recommendation this semester. Most of my students said that they would recommend this book to the next class as a resource. I think it is about the best that is currently on the market, and I probably review about two-dozen different books on Adobe and AutoCAD software. Try this one.

I purchased this book as a required text for an online class Pros: It is a kindle book, which means built in dictionary, searchable words, digital highlights and bookmarks It is cheaper than buying the text book.

The data files are downloaded free from publisher at [ Cons: Although it is a kindle book, it does not work on a Paperwhite kindle.

I had to use my copy with my Mac, kindle app. When the instructions say to, for example, enter the values as the same in figure 22, it is hard to see the numbers because of poor image quality even if you zoom in on the image.

Had to order this as a textbook for my class. Loved the modest price, and the content is pretty good.
