Rating: - Very helpful! It is like taking a class!
This is a great learning tool for teaching about the Adobe products.It really does help to teach and explain everything.
The downside is that it really feels like taking a class, and I have enough of those already :)
I recommend this for anyone who really needs to learn the material in a class-like setting. It has lessons and assignment etc. but you can do them all at your own pace. Enjoy!
Rating: - Great
Recieved item on time, right when we were told it would arrive. Book in very good condition.
Rating: - Great for college requirements
Unfortunately, I can't give a personal recommendation as to content, but this is required for our daughter's BS degree in Art. What a great way to purchase college texts and save money on the exorbitant cost of required college materials!
Rating: - Helpful Tool
If your learning design. This book will get you started. Great for beginners. Not for advanced users.
Rating: - "Help" is a better Resource
The book covers two or three not-too-deep projects through photoshop/illustrator/indesign, etc., but it's a little like having someone hold your hand through the woods. Anyone can pick up these basics, the same concepts, as soon as they start a project using the Creative Suite modules -- Adobe provides excellent "Help" resources, and there are all kinds of tips and support out there from online searches/blogs. Save your $30+ and pick up a few magazines on the subject.
