Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book 2025 Release

This is the best step-by-step graphics book I have ever read. Not only is a book, super detailed and step-by-step, but if you need to visually have explained to you, you also have access to the digital version of the book where there is a video for every section That explains it thoroughly and visually. Highly recommended book series.

The biggest benefit of this book is that, in the same place where you download the exercises, they have videos that pretty much cover the entire book which gives you the best of both worlds! I primarily used the videos but found the text very useful if I ever wasn't catching what the instructor was doing in the videos. Both the videos and text are all VERY step by step.Also, importantly, this book had meaningful material/exercises from the beginning. There was a DIFFERENT Adobe book from the Classroom in a Book (CIAB) series that I had to give a "1" to because the first four or so chapters read like a reference manual (in addition to having other severe issues). Hence, I don't recommend ALL books in Adobe's CIAB series but I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS ONE.Finally, the proof of purchase at the website to get the exercises was pretty trivial --> which is a plus.Hence, I gave this book a five.Simple, but important notes: You DO need Adobe Illustrator ,and be aware, Illustrator isn't the most intuitive application.
