El gran libro de Illustrator

From the tiny icons of an application to the advertisements of a magazine, from the packaging of all kinds of products to the gigantographic prints that advertise them, the domains of Adobe Illustrator extend across multiple formats, platforms (Mac, PC or iPadOS) and, mainly, media: all graphic or electronic media, papers and screens. Such versatility makes this program a fundamental piece for the creative expression of design and communications professionals, so where a vector drawing is required, there will be the Illustrator tools available to achieve a perfect result. What is a vector drawing? When drawing a curve on a sheet of paper, you drag the pencil at one end and stop dragging at the other; the technology used by Illustrator asks for the same, except that manipulating those same two extreme points allows you to create a more pronounced arc, reduce it to a slight wave, or specify a straight line. That is, without being an expert, with two points you can draw all possible curves: Illustrator has the amazing ability to draw everything, perfectly, point by point, with a sharpness that will be retained in all sizes, be it icons in 2 mm or billboards in 20 m. From these perfect curves, the most complex drawings imaginable are reached, so that the field of application of vector drawing encompasses all kinds of symbols, covers the creation of logos (among other creative text elaborations) and includes graphics of maximum complexity such as infographics, posters, magazine covers, etc. Through a comprehensive series of exercises, detailed step by step, this book puts in your hands all the resources required so that, without prior knowledge, you acquire the ability to create professional quality illustrations.
