Rather than simply giving an overview of the application, this book leads the user intuitively through Illustrator techniques. This way, each too comes into play and its capabilities are fully explored. The book is divided into four sections. First is an introduction to the mechanics of the application, covering file formats, tools, and terms in language everyone can understand.
Part Two helps the user to become familiar with drawing skills and object creation, and Pan Three concentrates on manipulative techniques and the creation of various object-oriented effects. Rather than listing tools one by one, these two parts demonstrate vital operations, covering each tool as it comes into play. Part Four takes the reader through the production process -- printing and working with separations, saving images and choosing appropriate file formats, and managing issues that affect Web-bound graphics. It also covers inter-application issues that affect the creation of Illustrator images -- those with placed images, as well as those exported to other programs, like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe PageMaker.
