Customer Reviews & Comments
The author has made some modifications/additions to his previous book (Teach Yourself Illustrator 8 in 24 Hours). But it is largely similar in content. If you expect this book to be largely different, you will be disappointed. As the content is largely same, it retains it top notch style of providing enough illustrations one gets to know the features and how the tools can be used in different ways to produce the different effects in the illustrations. But this book is aimed at the total beginner and those basic features of Illustrator cannot be taken out and hence the great similiarity in content. A mentioned of SVF format is mentioned at the section of importing/exporting files and also the support for the web animation highlighted. But it does not cover in all the new stuff in Illustrator 9. To do so would go beyond 24 hours. If you do not own his previous book and you have no knowledge of Illustrator 9 and want to know the basic stuff quickly, this book is excellent. Expecting instructions of how to use all the new features? Then this book is not for you. Learning Illustrator 9 in 24 hours at beginner's level? This book deserves 5 stars for it.
