Publisher's Synopsis
Macromedia FreeHand has reached the big one-oh, thanks to its straightforward but sophisticated set of illustration tools. If you use FreeHand in your work--or would like to--FreeHand 10 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is the perfect way to learn this visual program and how to integrate it with the other applications in your virtual studio.
True to the Visual QuickStart Guide name, the book breaks FreeHand into logical, easy-to-follow tasks, illustrated with plenty of screenshots featuring FreeHand's new Macromedia user interface. Each concise section walks you step-by-step through a single topic. Beginners can start with an overview of FreeHand's tools and interface, then confidently move on to layers, points and paths, Pen and Bezigon tools, color, strokes and fills, and text effects. More seasoned FreeHand artists can use the book's page tabs to flip straight to chapters on printing, advanced preferences, and exporting artwork to other applications and the Web. Cross-platform coverage includes Mac OS X!
