Do you want to be a hot shot web developer and or graphics designer? If you want to make good looking movies or Internet video, you ought to know how to create cool looking, attention grabbing graphics and professional titles.

Check out this new book, Real World Creative Suite 2

Targeted to those who are already familiar with Adobe Creative Suite and/or its various components like Photoshop. Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat and GoLive as well as the newer suite integration products Adobe Bridge and Version Cue. I was quite impressed because I knew a bit about each of the products but had little idea of how to make them work together.  Sometimes it makes sense to do a project or a step with program A – sometimes you can do the same exercise with project B. This book shows you the various options and discusses which direction to take and why. This book takes a unique approach and is organized around concepts and projects. What are you trying to do and what is the best way to get it done?

The authors – Sandee Cohen and Steve Werner – really know their Adobe products and are able to transfer that knowledge seamlessly.

This is a big book – 650 pages of high quality info with little wasted space or unneeded graphics or design touches. Conveniently, most of the tutorials are geared to both Windows and Mac users so you do not have to worry which platform you are using it on. This is wonderful text for those who need to improve their graphic and layout skills but are not experts yet.

Adobe's Creative Suite offers a powerful unified design environment that includes Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS 2, InDesign CS2, GoLive CS2 and Acrobat 7.0. Problem is, you've still got to learn the thing, and learn it well: Your job, after all, depends on it. No one understands that better than the authors of this book, who draw on their own real-world professional knowledge to deliver all the industrial-strength production techniques and timesaving tips you need to start creating print and web projects with the Creative Suite 2 in record time. You'll find everything you need here to successfully master its advanced tools; working with the Adobe Bridge file browser, Stock Photos and more.
