Book Review - Professional Design Techniques with Adobe Creative Suite 3

Scott Citron brings it all together.

Too many computer books today just tell you how the tools work. Professional Design Techniques with Adobe Creative Suite 3 by Scott Citron does more than that. Far more!

Scott brings design and production techniques together in a process that is much more reflective of what happens in a day to day design studio. As well, Scott's writing style reminds me of being in a conversation with a mentor. Information is quickly assimilated, easily understood and efficiently implemented.

In the beginning chapters Scott reviews basic and necessary design principals for laying out a page and proper use of typography rules for kerning and leading. The project chapters and production techniques are invaluable. I can see many designers and print production artists having "a-ha" moments during their reading of this book.

I would recommend that every design and production studio invest in a copy or two of this book.
