I don't earn my living as a Graphics Artist - but the book explains each step so clearly and I was so thoroughly intrigued that I couldn't put it down, flicking back and forth to check explanations in previous lessons which I'd skipped over but really needed to understand - I was thoroughly hooked! Definitely a 'must-have' for everyone who works in this area of production. - Wendy Laybourn FBKS - Network Nine
