Illustrator 8 for Windows and Macs (Visual QuickStart Guides) Book

Illustrator 8 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide will give newcomers to Adobe Illustrator 8 a push in the right direction. Authors Weinmann and Lourekas demonstrate how to use this illustration package's user interface, tools, and palettes to create, save, and open illustrations. The authors teach you how to create basic objects and show you the options and techniques for selecting, moving, reshaping, and transforming objects. Next you learn how to use Illustrator's Fill, Stroke, brushes, and pen options; add and manipulate type; work with layers; combine paths; and create gradients. Later chapters teach you to apply filters, work with masks, create graphs, use precision tools, work with the Actions feature, change the program's preferences, create separations, and output your work for print and for the Web. A full-color section in the center of the book offers eye-catching artwork to help get your creative juices flowing. The book closes with a guide to those contributing artists and a quick reference guide to keyboard shortcuts. --Kathleen Caster Read More
