Customer Reviews

Good for beginers.

This book is good for some basics and it helps you get around your software.

Great Project-Based Learning Resource

this is the core syllabus for a class i'm taking. we complete the assignments that are in the book. the projects are useful and clearly explained and comes with all files on a cd. after completeling the book, one should have a solid foundation of basic operations w/in photoshop, illustrator, indesign, etc. i'm happy with it.

good pick

the book is new, and cost only 31 dollar compare to the local bookstore where cost 53 dollar.

A good choice for use in a classroom setting

I found this book to be very useful in the introduction to digital graphics I teach at a community college. Because we have to go over OS X, Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXpress in one semester, time is limited for each of these software programs. However, by choosing the tutorials in the book that address specific techniques needed to complete the semester projects, I can cover a lot of ground in a relatively short time. This procedure worked especially well in the Photoshop chapters.
