Thank you Mordy Golding for making this Huge package from adobe so easy, This Book is a "Must Read", there is nothing left to discuss after reading the book, every Question you have ever thought off regarding the suite and those many applications is covered in detail. i read the book in 4 days, the minute i wake up i go stright to where i fell asleep reading last night, it was a joy.

Now, i am able to use every application in the suite to accomplish stunning results, you cant go Wrong buying this book, youll wish you never get to page 744. Thanks again Mordy Golding

Excellent choice for newcomers to Adobe products

If you always wanted to know more about Adobe amazing applications but were afraid to ask your geek friends, this is the book you were waiting for. It doesn't go deep into every possibilities those programs can achieve - after all it covers the entire Creative Suite package! - but it's absolutely perfect for Adobe newbies who need to be introduced to that awesome world of digital imaging, website design and desktop publishing. Mordy Gording's sense of humor is another asset. Must have!

The Suite explained

Someone had to do it, and it's Mordy Golding, one of the few people suited for the task. Educator, author, consultant, and guru, Golding has written the first decent all-in-one Creative Suite book. Although there are other books, none probably have the scope and breadth of this one. Adobe Creative Suite All in One is divided into three parts: The first deals with the Suite as a whole and discusses the creative process and how this unified set of tools can be a complete solution for multipurpose design. The second section explains the applications, giving each about 100 pages to describe the basic functions and review the programs' capabilities. The last part applies the knowledge to several projects, all centered around an imaginary business, outlining how to use the applications to create a corporate identity, a brochure, an ad campaign, Web banners, Web pages, and a business presentation. There's also an appendix that covers getting your work to a printer. The section on Version Cue is perhaps the most extensive review of this small utility, while the InDesign section is perhaps the lightest section of the book. It is a formidable task to write such a book, making it relevant and informative, while not just rewriting the manuals. Mordy Golding has stepped up to the task, and done a smashing job. I highly recommend this book. PC Graphics Report
