Product Review
Written for those who haven't learned Illustrator or who are familiar only with one of the older versions, this hands-on guide takes you systematically through the package's Toolbox, Palette, and Menu tools. You learn how the Toolbox options let you create, select, and transform objects; apply strokes and fills; customize your view, pan and zoom on your image; work with the Blend and Auto Trace tools; and create graphs. You'll understand how to use the Palettes to modify an object's shape, position, and alignment, and work with color, gradients, strokes, and layers. The book shows how to choose Edit, Object, and Type Commands; apply filters; and manipulate Illustrator's views and windows through the menus. Finally, you learn how to import and export files, output your work to a printer or to the Web, and set Illustrator's Preferences.
You learn Illustrator 7 by following along with hands-on lessons throughout the book; the lesson files, along with demo versions of graphics software, are on the included CD-ROM. The book features a good mixture of drawings, screen shots, and explanatory text, and succeeds in uncovering each new or refined tool featured in Illustrator 7. If this package's interface is still a mystery to you, check out this book for a straightforward way of acquainting yourself and becoming productive with it.
