 Easy to follow Illustrator lessons March 6, 2010

By Ruth Johnson "graphic designer" (Whistler, BC Canada)
The book 'Adobe Illustrator CS4 Classroom in a book' contains 15 in depth lessons on Adobe Illustrator CS4. Each lesson is 20-30 pages long and additional files and instructions are contained on the included CD.
The book covers the areas: the general work area in CS4, selecting and aligning, creating and editing shapes, transforming objects, drawing with the pen and pencil tools, colour and painting, working with type, working with layers, blending shapes and colours, working with brushes, applying effects, applying appearance attributes and graphic styles, working with symbols, combining illustrator CS4 graphics with other Adobe applications and output in Illustrator.
Adobe Illustrator is such an in-depth program that the book is a great training manual for a beginner but will also teach experienced users new tips and tricks. It is very easy to follow due to the small steps and illustrations to guide. The lessons are great for people who like to work at their own pace and they can be stopped and started at any time. At the end of each chapter there are Review questions and answers to summarize what you should have learnt throughout the previous chapter.
The book is a great as a training manual if you follow the lessons step by step however it does not cover every tool included in Illustrator and it is not very good as a point of reference, if you have a particular question.
I had prior knowledge in Adobe Illustrator before reading this book and it helped expand my knowledge, teach me shortcuts and realize the full potential of the tools, I have only completed a few of the lessons so far, and look forward to learning more.
Overall the book is a great training manual for beginners and users with some prior knowledge, a lot cheaper than an Illustrator course and you can learn at your own speed. The book not only gives step by step tutorials but also summarizes what you should have learnt, which you can take and apply to your own projects.
 Fabulous program February 28, 2010

It's a decent a book to learn off of. Although I personally prefer Digital Classroom in a book, this one is a good substitute. :)
A great teaching guide! February 14, 2010

I bought this book to go with a short class I was taking. I found it very useful, and the class was able to follow along easily. It covers a lot of what an average Illustrator user needs to know and goes over the many ways to do certain things, that way you learn work-arounds.
The only problem I saw was that twice did the book's instructions not make sense... they seem to have missed a key word that would've made something work the way it was supposed to.
