Book description
Creative professionals seeking the fastest, easiest, most
comprehensive way to learn Adobe Illustrator CS6 choose Adobe
Illustrator CS6 Classroom in a Book from the Adobe Creative Team at
Adobe Press. The 15 project-based lessons in this book show readers
step-by-step the key techniques for working in Illustrator CS6 and
how to create vector artwork for virtually any project and across
multiple media: print, websites, interactive projects, and
video.
In addition to learning the key elements of the Illustrator
interface, this completely revised CS6 edition covers the new
tracing engine with improved shape and color recognition, a new
pattern toolset with on-artboard controls and one-click tiling, a
completely overhauled performance engine and modernized user
interface for working more efficiently and intuitively, and
more.
**Breaking News! In August 2012 Adobe released an update to
Illustrator offering new features for Creative Cloud customers:
Package files, Unembed images and Links panel enhancements.

“The Classroom in a Book series is by far the best training
