Customer Reviews

Excellent Introduction to Freehand

When I purchased this book, I had no experience with Freehand or with any other vector-based graphics program. After the first five chapters, I'm already producing impressive-looking art for my website. Freehnad has a pretty steep learning curve, but if you read this book and go through the tutorials, you'll be surprised at how quickly you learn the program. Based on this book, I definitely plan to check out the rest of Macromedia's "Training from the Source" series.

Great Book

This book has got to be the best book for learning how to use Freehand. I am very amazed with my progress and I am not even that far in the book. Each tutorial seamlessly builds on the other. This is an excellent buy.

Good book to learn FH10 but not great

This book does present many step by step examples with which you will learn how to use this program. I am using the book right now and am pleased with my progress. I am also pleased with how easy it is to draw using Freehand's tools to make vector graphics.However, the book does have a slight tendency to word a step confusingly from time to time. I have even found that occasionally, I will have to figure out my own way to do something b/c the text wasn't specific enough. But this is rare.
