As a new Web Designer I purchased this book in order to assist me with creating graphics for my website a few years ago. It was helpful, an easy read with the basics of how to use Illustrator CS. It goes over the various tools, such as the pen , pencil and shapes and when you should use them, special effects, and more.
I found the section on the tools to be very useful because I was unsure of when to use which one.
Being a hand on learner, not theoretical, I also liked the fact that there are also various tutorials to help you try things out step by step until you become more proficient.
Im still not the greatest Graphic Designer, and that has to come with practice, but I was above to do high quality , simple graphics for my websites, and desktop publishing projects.
This is an excellent book, with great color, and detail for any graphic student.
Perhaps this book would be a great resource to those teaching an Illustrator CS class.
