Design With Adobe Creative Cloud Classroom in a Book: Basic Projects Using Photoshop, InDesign, Muse, and More First Edition

What can I say? Adobe has the best products out on the market today. I love their CS6 suite and I love these books because I'm not a kid in HS. I'm an adult and this book is great! Also Adobe is user friendly and you can call them and they help you.5 Stars to Adobe!!

When you say that I would have been awkward for even a book lesson, they are not likely to be on precinct to learn more about the essence of inscrutable human intelligence that remains indisputably under a quote from the same graphic designer.

I've been wanting this book for a long time and finally bit the bullet and purchased it to help me learn more about Photoshop, Illustrator, and Muse, specifically. The first section I completed (Section 2) was interesting and fun. I learned a few things about InDesign that I didn't know and some things about Illustrator and Photoshop. I moved next to Section 1. I found this section a bit harder to work through. I believe Section 2 was easier to work through because I already use InDesign and know how to get around within the program quite well. While working on Section 1 I began to notice that the lesson plans assume the user has a good understanding of the workspace, tools, and panels of all the programs used in each exercise. There aren't many inline graphics showing tools/icons so if you're not familiar with one, you have to hunt to find it before continuing. The prerequisites don't mention the need to have a general working knowledge of each program.I also expected the exercises to be more basic. For instance when I began working on Section 3 to learn about Muse it immediately jumped me into a website that was mostly complete in its structure. The first exercises were about working with animations. I wanted to learn about setting up the web pages, site map, etc. In my opinion animations shouldn't be the first thing to teach someone.Overall, I don't believe the description gives justice to the book, which I think is a great tool for those who are already familiar with the basics of the programs and just want to learn more. For those like me who want more basic techniques, look elsewhere. To give it more perspective, I know Corel programs pretty well, so I'm not new to the terms and concepts, I just need to know the specifics of how to do things in Photoshop and Illustrator. This book failed me in that respect.

The workflow is simple and easy to comprehend. That being said, I wish Adobe would come up with something other than the same 'ol Pluralist theme that they've used in all of their training materials lately. That alone is enough to motivate me to find something fresh and new.

Very impressed with this book. And great costumer service in making sure I receive it.Thank YouNichole

I'm a designer and I love to keep current if changes with Adobe. This book gives great examples of the Adobe CC suite.

I was dismayed to find how dated the material in this manual is. For example, in a chapter that teaches you about the features of InDesign CC, you are told to use a handful of functions and options that no longer exist in the latest InDesign CC update, whatsoever. It was very frustrating and confusing for me. I regret paying what I did for this book.

Excellent book...although it was the second runner up to the book I chose for my designing web graphics class
