Product Description
There are plenty of books available to teach you how to use the different tools that are a part of Adobe Illustrator CS2. But how many will actually show you how to work with the tools and techniques and apply them to real-world, relevant projects that you encounter every day at work? This one will. Adobe Illustrator CS2 @ Work: Projects You Can Use on the Job is a project-based guide that will help you complete workplace projects while you learn how to use Illustrator CS2. Detailed, well-explained instructions will help you accomplish job-related tasks, including: - Designing and working with logos.
- Designing corporate identity materials.
- Illustrating a poster.
- Designing product packaging.
- Designing a trifold brochure.
- Designing a magazine advertisement.
- Designing a DVD package, label and menu.
- Designing a website.
Tips, tricks and notes will provide you with the information that you need to apply what you learn through these projects to projects you encounter every day at work. Learn by doing rather than reading with Adobe Illustrator CS2 @ Work: Projects You Can Use on the Job.

 Illustrator @ work July 13, 2007
Not bad at all. Practical exercises relevant to the real world. You do need prior knowledge of the application before starting into the book. What you do learn is very useful though..
Good book, solid explanations November 12, 2006

The book livews up to it's name, these were all projects you can use on the job. I have used multiple projects in my own work. It is helpful to go to the site and download the project files to follow along. There is one section in the first book that gives ou instructions on making the E that are wrong...this drove me crazy for two days until I figured it out. But otherwise, you'll recieve use out of most of this book.
 Not for the novice September 28, 2006

I'm a newbie to Illustrator, and I found several of the teaching projects in this book difficult to follow. There is a presumption in the steps provided that you know your way around a little bit more than a novice may be able to grasp. Also, a couple of the projects have mistakes in them which render the reader incapable of completing them unless you go to the publisher's website and download the errata PDF.
Very good, but there's something better for novices July 15, 2006

I first purchased this book to try to help me with Illustrator 9 (yes, I know - it's for CS2, but I was totally lost trying to learn my inherited version of Illustrator 9 on my own, and I figured things couldn't be THAT different between versions, right? hah.) To anyone else considering this book for anything other than CS2: Stop. Turn back. It will only make you salivate for CS2, for the features CS2 has that earlier versions of Illustrator lack.
That said, I've since been able to upgrade to CS2, and this book, although modestly helpful -- (it uses projects to teach, and who has time to work through the book's projects? I've got my OWN projects to complete, and need to get up to speed, fast, on only the tasks required for my project) -- is not nearly as helpful for a complete Illustrator nincompoop (i.e. me) as is the Quick Start CS2 guide by Elaine Weinmann, also available here on Amazon.
This book is the one that should've been included in the box with the software, instead of the semi-useful one that was there. But it's not as helpful for a total novice as is the Weinmann book.
