Reviews

In some sense, Illustrator is an interface for Postscript, a text printing language, all of which means that the real power of Illustrator is found in its ability to manipulate text. Making text follow the outline of a wine glass is easy in Illustrator and almost impossible in many other programs. Usually, folks will create their text in Illustrator and then import it as a bitmap into Photoshop. Simic's book works from the illustration backwards through all the steps needed to create the effect. A very practical, very useful book.
