The tight integration between different Adobe 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 settings 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 Bézier curves.
• Use InDesign’s sophisticated options to combine text, colors, images, and graphics into finished compositions with settings that are appropriate for commercial printing.
