Quick-Learning Illustrator Book for Right-Brained People

August 1994--Berkeley, CA--It's a safe assumption that people who use
Illustrator, Adobe's popular illustration program, are generally
right-brained sorts of people-they tend to be more visual than verbal.
That's why Illustrator 5. 0/5.5 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide
uses primarily pictures to guide readers through the software, showing,
rather than telling, what to do. Although Illustrator 5.0 was a big jump
from 3.2, 5.5 is much doser to its predecessor. So features new to 5.5
(largely t editing) are covered in an appendix.

With succinct, to-the-point instructions, and hundreds of screen captures
and engaging illustrations (many done by the authors/artists), complex
maneuvers are reduced to a series of easy-to-follow steps. The book is
structured as a task-oriented reference, so readers--be they beginners or
old-hands with a memory lapse--can easily look up what they need to do.
Among the tasks they will quickly learn are to:

Create, select, modify, and arrange objects Draw from scratch or reshape
geometric objects by hand or keystroke Fill objects with flat colors,
gradients, or patterns. Create and style type Print or color-separate
illustrations.
