1) Paperback Book Adobe InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2, Revealed, Deluxe Education Edition by Course Technology. Quite frankly, with the advent of CS3, this book is out of date. It doesn´t seem like a book that you´d just choose to read, and if it´s a required textbook at school, your technology is a bit behind the times. Now, if all you had was CS2, and that´s all you wanted to learn about, than this book is as good as any other.¤

2) Paperback Book Adobe InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2, Revealed, Deluxe Education Edition by Course Technology. I bought this book for a Photoshop class and after wasting $40 We found out that there are several versions of this book and our class is on many different books all going different directions. I was stupid to assume that this book was a compilation of several of the Revealed books, that´s somewhat true but when I got to chapter 6 of my assignments, surprise! NO CHAPTER 6 OR BEYOND. The books are eclectic and miss many steps along the way costing the reader loads of wasted time figuring out what you should have been instructed to do by the book. Isn´t that what we pay for?? If you´re an instructor who hates their students, or a student who likes to learn everything the hard way , I highly recommend this book.¤

3) Paperback Book Adobe InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2, Revealed, Deluxe Education Edition by Course Technology. This books was required for a primer glass in graphic design. In the class, we learned to use both Photoshop and Ilustrator, two of the most powerful raster and vector graphics packages available.

The problem with the book is its lack of description, it´s lack of explication. Within three pages of the Photoshop section, I was completely lost. This meant a trip to the library to find another textbook that explained what these authors did not. That led me to the CS3 Dummies books, and a far better understanding of the material.

I suggest with all my heart that instructors not use this poorly written book in your classes. You are better off with either the "Dummies" or "Classroom in a Book" series.

You poorly serve your students with this garbage.¤

4) Paperback Book Adobe InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2, Revealed, Deluxe Education Edition by Course Technology. So I bought this book for a class, only to find out that I had purchased the black and white version, that does not come with a disk.

I guess thats why I only paid $ 20.00 for the book. Un benknownst to me the actual version that I needed was the deluxe Education edition. Who Knew?

As far as a text book...its really no different than any other written aide, which is why I do whatever I can to avoid text book.

If you really want to learn a software program use something like Total Traing DVD packages. I can say from exprience you will not be sorry. Its like being in an actual class and what they teach is not just how the software works but actual applications for the real world.

Its a digital age...dont read it, watch it.¤

5) Paperback Book Adobe InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2, Revealed, Deluxe Education Edition by Course Technology. This book is an absolute waste of paper. Filled with ugly "designs", it focuses on completely unnecessary details while skipping whole sections of useful information. it seems most concerned with making the student duplicate horrible "projects" exactly down to the pixel... rather than teaching the tools.

Avoid this book! It will drive you insane.

You are better off just using the help system in any of these products... you will learn more...faster...without brain damage.¤

6) Paperback Book Adobe InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2, Revealed, Deluxe Education Edition by Course Technology.

Students will easily master each feature as they work through a wealth of information, including end-of-chapter learning projects and reviews and step-by-step tutorials. The full-color interior and user-friendly design create the ideal book for learning the latest features of this popular design suite.¤
