Design Collection Revealed: Adobe InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3 & Illustrator CS3 (Revealed (Thomson))

I took a community college class online that used this 4 the textbook. I read the negative reviews (this & other editions), but 4 what it was supposed 2 do, it did it perfectly. I had a positive experience & I learned the three programs. What's 2 complain about? Yes, there were a few mistakes, minor ones, like in one example the book forgot 2 tell us 2 add the fourth line, & then told us 2 manipulate it. Well, that's not the end of the world. Between the text & the examples, it explained everything adequately. It's not that bad.

The "Design Collection Revealed" offers the basics & nothing more. Projects are too simplistic & the end results are visually horrifying. Honestly, this book is perfect 4 anyone between the ages of 3-5 years.
