This full-colour book is organised into lessons, with easy-to-follow instructions, tips, examples, and review questions at the end of every lesson. Each lesson is self- contained, so you can go through the entire book sequentially or just focus on individual lessons. Topics covered include: What's new in Illustrator CS3; Illustrator CS3 jumpstart; Working with objects; Adding colour; Creating and manipulating text; Understanding layers and transparency; Creating graphs. In addition, every book in this series also comes with a DVD with video demos and exercise files for the lessons, including projects in various stages of completion, rather than the usual "start" and "finished" versions.
