About this title

From the Author

The only book teaching the practical use of FreeHand.
This book is designed for people who find themselves dumped into the world of publishing with little or no background in the needs of publishing. While it is focused on print production, there is good, solid information on why FreeHand is probably the best software to use for the creation of Web graphics. This is especially true now, with the release of FreeHand 9, Dreamweaver 3, and Flash 4. This is one of the best books available that teaches publishing by real people, teaching time-proven production methods. Plus, the book gives a great deal of background help -- teaching you why you would want to do this as well as how.

It is an invaluable resource for those looking to increase their professionalism and production speed using FreeHand along with PageMaker, InDesign, QuarkXPress, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat plus the leading Web desing tools.

Synopsis

Taking a version-free approach to teaching Macromedia in FreeHand, this text teaches students practical knowledge and skills for a real-world work environment, whether it's print, Web or PDF multimedia. The primary focus of the text is to give students the background they need to become valuable employees. To help prepare students to this end, FreeHand is presented within an environment that uses QuarkXPress, PageMaker, or a WYSIWYG website creation program. This book discusses the entire gamut of options offered by FreeHand and features critical commentary on what does and does not work. All of the coursework can be taught in a traditional classroom setting or online.
