Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

The Barnes & Noble Review
The products in Adobe Creative Suite 2 were carefully designed to work together. That’s the best way to learn them, too. So this book doesn’t just offer solid tutorials on Photoshop, ImageReady, Ilustrator, GoLive, InDesign, and Acrobat: It focuses on their integration in real-world projects.

There’s an extremely useful chapter on planning workflows, including PDF workflows. There are start-to-finish chapters on six project scenarios: identity, brochures, ad campaigns, web banners, web pages, and presentations. There’s a full chapter on using Version Cue to improve file management and versioning.

Yes, Mordy Golding reviews all the basics in each major application -- from Photoshop layers to Illustrator symbols, InDesign objects to GoLive CSS layouts. But it’s no longer enough to master these features in isolation. With Golding’s help, you’ll learn to use them as part of a coherent, highly productive workflow.
