The tight integration between different Adobe CC applications makes it easier than ever to create professional design for print. This book provides a solid foundation in the three most popular software applications – Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. The projects in this book were designed to represent a range of jobs you will likely encounter during your career in graphic design. You will learn to:
- Customize and manage the user interface in Adobe CC applications to enhance productivity.
- Define appropriate file dimensions and resolution for a variety of different print jobs.
- Use Photoshop’s powerful controls for compositing images and graphics, correcting colors, adjusting lighting, and repairing visual damage in images.
- Use Illustrator’s enhanced toolset to create custom vector graphics from both basic shapes and complex Bezier curves.
- Use InDesign’s sophisticated options to combine various elements — including text, colors, images, and graphics — into finished compositions with settings that are appropriate for commercial printing.
