Even as its features multiply with each new version, the enduring popularity of Illustrator stems from its foundation as a powerful and flexible vector drawing tool. In Illustrator CS4 Getting Started, Deke McClelland provides a concise but thorough examination of core Illustrator concepts: stroke, fill, and path; scaling and rotating; layers and guides, and he demonstrates several techniques for working with type. Deke also addresses many of the new features in CS4, including the refined interface, multiple artboards, more-powerful gradients, and the Blob brush. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
- Working with point and path text
- Selecting, isolating, and combining paths
- Reshaping paths and working with control handles
- Rounding corners
- Using Live Paint
