Professional Design Techniques with Adobe Creative Suite 3

Author: Scott Citron

Adobe changed the landscape of design when it combined the tools that many creative professionals were using into one suite of applications—Adobe Creative Suite. And with this latest version—CS3—designers have even more reason to herald their favorite software as it not only gives them further tools, features, and performance, but offers additional interoperability across the various programs in the suite. As if answering the designer’s call for guidance, author and distinguished designer Scott Citron leads them through the ins-and-outs of the Creative Suite in his first book, Professional Design Techniques with Adobe Creative Suite 3. With an easy, engaging style, Scott takes a designer’s approach to address the complexities of working in the suite and focuses on important design principles that can be applied to working in all the programs. How do designers determine what fonts to choose? Why do certain color choices never fail? How can designers use space more effectively? All of these questions and more are explored as readers are given real-world design projects that cement these principles.

Part inspiration and part how-to, each chapter contains a full project, complete with steps and full-color illustrations. Project files, plug-ins, and other goodies are included on the accompanying CD-ROM so that readers can follow along and recreate each project themselves. Designers will also appreciate the tips, sidebars, inspirations, and expert commentary throughout. Whether they are aspiring designers or practicing professionals, anyone who is interested in learning new design techniques will come away with a solid foundation in this extraordinarysuite of creativity tools.
