When faced with a design problem, it shouldn't be because you don't know how to use the design software. If you're learning Macromedia FreeHand MX for the first time, you can rely on Macromedia FreeHand MX: Training from the Source for a thorough ground-up education that you can tackle at your own pace. This popular series from Macromedia Press leads you step-by-step through a program's most important new features as you work through several, practical graphic design projects that reflect real-world problems, solutions, and practices. In Macromedia FreeHand MX: Training from the Source you'll learn how to use the program's robust tools to create a logo and then create a corporate identity package all in one document, organize and manage complex illustrations, and even create an animation that will then be used in a Flash animation. The book's project-based tutorial approach allows you to work through the lessons in the book at your own pace, using the practice files on the companion media download to get started immediately with the program!
