Adobe Illustrator CS6: Learn By Video

This innovative product from Adobe Press and video2brain combines exceptional quality interactive video and a full-color printed reference to teach the fundamentals of Illustrator CS6. Experienced instructors present close to 13 hours of high quality HD video, complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to work alongside in Illustrator. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what they’ve learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge.

It's really nice to have Adobe do something that isn't just the Classroom in a Book, but rather on DVD in videos. The interface is easy to navigate, but as usual, it's just the skimming of the surface kind of information. Do they go over every tool in the toolbox? Not even close. My students are so smart, they want to know how to use the gradient mesh by week two. Do they cover that here on the DVD? Nope. They talk about colors generally, but do they cover the eyedropper and how to use it with the gradient mesh? No. Is this the most powerful way to create seamless amazing vector art? Yes. There are some marvelous tutorials on youtube that I refer my students to. Illustrator is such a wonderful application, but there are so many things they need to update. CS6 has some good changes and some not so nice ones. Please Adobe, listen to your users. We've got lots of ideas for improvement. This is a good DVD, but just not as much covered as I'd like to see.

I started at the beginning with no experience with the software and felt confident with it by the end of the book/DVD.

Great way to learn a new software program. Moves along at a good pace. User friendly and Mac compatible too.
