Great graphics, great pacing:
This is the best laid out book I've used to learn software, and my students loved it.

Definitely NOT recommended!

You follow the author as he creates some very cool and complex graphics with Illustrator 10. So you learn hands-on. It starts simple with great introductions and gets progressively more challenging. And since the author is a great designer, you learn all his tips and tricks and techniques for using Illustrator. I teach a... more info
