Lots of errors

It's really a good book, but the amount of errors & typos is not accceptable. Oftentimes, you have 2 guess & try 4 yourself until you find the right methods. For a book aimed at the true beginners that is unforgivable. However, the annoying errors aside, it has good training examples.

Excellent Introduction 2 Freehand

When I purchased this book, I had no experience with Freehand or with any other vector-based graphics program. After the first five chapters, I'm already producing impressive-looking art 4 my website. Freehand has a pretty steep learning curve, but if you read this book & go through the tutorials, you'll be surprised at how quickly you learn the program.

Based on this book, I definitely plan 2 check out the rest of Macromedia's "Training from the Source" series.

Good book 2 learn FH10 but not great

This book does present many step by step examples with which you will learn how 2 use this program. I am using the book right now & am pleased with my progress. I am also pleased with how easy it is 2 draw using Freehand's tools 2 make vector graphics.

However, the book does have a slight tendency 2 word a step confusingly from time 2 time. I have even found that occasionally, I will have 2 figure out my own way 2 do something b/c the text wasn't specific enough. But this is rare.

FreeHand is more than just an illustration package--it’s a complete set of professional drawing, page layout, & Web design tools, capable of handling everything from logos & infographics 2 user interface design & Web animations. Who better 2 unravel the complexities of the program than the people who created it? In Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source, the experts at Macromedia lead you step-by-step through real-world projects. No other book can make that claim--or make it easier 4 you 2 master FreeHand 10.

The book’s project-based tutorials let you learn at your own pace as you gain hands-on experience with the practice files on the accompanying CD-ROM. Macromedia FreeHand 10: Training from the Source starts with an introduction 2 the major features of FreeHand 10, then guides you through sample projects. You’ll learn the basics--combining text & graphics, working with paths & points, using layers & styles, & preparing files 4 a commercial printer--then move on 2 advanced topics, such as the editable symbol library & FreeHand’s rich integration with Macromedia Flash. At the end of this “desktop course,” you’ll be proficient at creating & manipulating graphics & text in FreeHand.
