Summary

Macromedia FreeHand is a vector-based drawing, illustration, and layout program that enables graphics professionals to create artwork for logos, ads, and Web site storyboards. With this latest update, Macromedia has added new illustration and productivity tools such as true contour gradients, embedded fonts in Macintosh and Windows EPS files, and customizable master pages which act as templates. FreeHand 10 will be available on both Macintosh and Windows platforms (including Mac OS X). FreeHand 10 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is the perfect tool for learning this visual program. It takes a straightforward, task-based approach to teaching FreeHand, using pictures to guide the user through creation of artwork, printing, customization, and using artwork with other applications. Beginners can use this Visual QuickStart Guide as a tutorial, while more advanced FreeHand users can use this book as a reference for looking up all of FreeHand's new features and capabilities.
