Graphic tablets are becoming compulsory for designers and graphic hobbyists of all ages and interests. A piece of hardware consisting of a drawing surface similar to a mouse pad and a pressure-sensitive pen, a graphic tablet is used to create drawings and illustrations from scratch, edit and manipulate existing photos, or record signatures electronically. This book teaches users to choose, install, customize, and optimize their hardware for their design needs. Also included is information on basic drawing techniques, creating illustrations and Web graphics, using shadows and depth, and creating weather and nature effects.

Iril C. Kolle was born in 1966 in Oslo, Norway. She was educated in signmaking and decoration before moving to graphic design and later Visual Arts. She has worked with graphic design since 1986, primarily towards magazines and newspapers, and has also done illustrations for various publications in Norway. After a brief detour as a journalist, Iril went back to design, and discovered the Internet and HTML in the mid 90s when she designed one of the first e-commerce solutions in Norway. Simultaneously she started using her first Graphic Tablet with Photoshop. She has worked with Internet Solutions ever since, and has a portfolio that contains web solutions for both shipbrokers and motocycle resellers - and everything in between. She is still making illustrations, but works 100% electronically, using a Wacom Intuos Tablet. She has made a tutorial on using Photshop masks and Intuos for Wacom Europe, and keeps up to speed on various software by taking online classes. She now has her own company, developing concepts for the Internet, concept visualization plus advising clients on Internet solutions. Iril lives in the country with her fiance, four cats, a dog, a turtle and several fish.
