商品描述

"The Adobe Creative Suite combines Photoshop and Illustrator into a fluid, cohesive graphics engine with mor epower and flexibility than ever before. As a result, it's critical that designers make the shift from thinking about them as stand-alone products and develop and intuitive understanding of how the two applications complement each other. Peter Bauer has done a stellar job of presenting Photoshop and Illustrator in this very context, teaching what's new in each application, as well as how the two programs work together. Pete's experience as a detail-oriented teacher and a great communicator comes through loud and clear...This book gets it done." -Daniel Giordan, Design Director, AOL Web Properties
