Backup

I bought this book as a backup for a video series I had watched. I'm sure it will be very useful. The video series was great and was given by the author of this book.
Tells you why, not just how
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Jeff Van West has a winnner of an Illustrator tutorial. A lot of other how-to books give you a bunch of steps that lead the user to a "whiz-bang" result, but they lack in explaining why and how that result was achieved. This book goes through the process of explaining the cause and effect of Illustrator's tools and effects _before_ going through the steps, leading to a better understanding of when to use those tools and effects. I've used "Adobe Illustrator CS Hands-On Training" as a textbook in my beginning Illustrator class, and it's been a wonderful teaching tool. My only real complaint (and it's a minor one at that) is that the graphics are not all that pretty (graphic artists are attracted to shiny objects). Still, the book accomplishes what it sets out to do.
An excellent Illustrator Tutorial

This is an excellent training book. It is well-written, presents the material in logical order, and holds the reader's attention. Examples are clearly presented, step-by-step.
What a magnificent book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As a professional computer programmer, I've read tons of self training books. I have never read one as clear, well thought out and laid out as this one. I am half way through the book and will be sorry to see it end. Every time I stop after a technique and fool with it I soon develop a question and sure enough the very next paragraph answers the very question. If I read something in the explanations that stikes me as vague I only have to glance up at the illustration and it reinforces the point perfectly. The book won't make me a great artist but it definitely helped me kick out the stuff I needed for my web site. Jeff I thank you. Now on to the next chapter.
