Illuminati Explain Illustrator

September, 1994--Berkeley, CA--Graphic design is visual
problem-solving--coming up with the best graphic approach to a dilemma,
whether it's getting map readers from place to place, convincing bookstore
browsers to pick up a book, or sparking people's interest in a particular
event. Illustrator Illuminated, 2nd Edition goes straight to the
problem-solvers themselves--award-winning artists and illustrators-and
follows them step by step as they tackle specific design projects using
Illustrator as their primary tool.

Illustrator Illuminated consists of seven case studies, including a
children's book, a publicity poster, a magazine cover, a technical
illustration, a corporate logo, a display ad, and a map. By watching the
creators of these projects at work, readers not only see the conceptual
and technical processes design professionals go through, but they gain a
sense of real-world uses of Illustrator. They also learn the capabilities
of the different sets of Illustrator tools and techniques used in each
study, including manipulation and distortion of objects and text,
importing scanned images, hand-tracing templates with the pen tool,
shearing, blending, building up layers, using custom colors. And readers
see how Illustrator can be used in conjunction with other graphics
programs, such as Photoshop. This book uses color throughout and is
lavishly illustrated with 30 full-color Illustrator-created illustrations.
This edition updates its predecessor (which was a finalist for the 1993
Benjamin Franklin Award in the Computer Book category) with information on
Illustrator 5.0 and 5.5, additions to the original seven chapters, 40 new
pages, five new chapters, and new illustrations.

Author Clay Andres contributes to several Macintosh and desktop publishing
magazines, including MacUser and MacWeek. He is also a design and
communications consultant. In addition to the first edition of Illustrator
Illuminated, he wrote The Little Mac Toolkit (Peachpit Press).
