Customer Reviews

I liked it

To the guy who said the reviewers must be friends of the authors, ah, ok sure.Everyone has their opinion - you didn't like it, I did. I got some useful tips and I really like the way they combined explaining techniques with real projects.I look forward to an updated version of this book.

Better than classroom in a book

I have the classroom in a book series for both Illustrator and Photoshop, and this book beats them hands down! The preliminary info is very helpful, explaining the theory, before you move on to trying things. I have always felt that the CIB series didn't always tell me WHy I was doing things, but just told me to do a step. This book covers the WHY and also offers some cool possibilities of other things to try. If you use both Illustrator and Photoshop, this is a great bok. (Even if you only use one or the other, I would still recommend it for the very helpful, practical concepts that it explains)I hope they keep bringing out more of these types of books.

Great for Illustrator and Photoshop Users

For as long as I have used both Illustrator and Photoshop, I've never been 100% confident that I'm using the right program, or if I'm taking full advantage of both apps. I bought this book based on how much I liked Photoshop Trade Secrets - also co-authored by Dave Cross - and having attending a seminar taught by Dave Cross. This book really helped me understand the key similarities and differences between PS and Ill, and how to take full advantage. I really liked they way that theory is combined with practical projects to put the theories into play. I definitely suggest this book for people who use both programs.

An advanced book that's actually pretty advanced

I saw a copy of this book recently (even though it says it's not published yet) and thought it was great. It does a really good job of comparing similar functions between Illustrator and Photoshop and how to take advantage of them.I particularly liked the combination of theory and key concepts followed by projects that put it all into play.Many "advanced" books aren't all that advanced, but this one was just right for an experienced user like me.
