Mastering Adobe Illustrator
9 isn’t an easy job since it has so many features you can’t list all of them,
but this new release remains the most accurate vector based software of its
class where what you see on your screen is really what you get on your
printer. Packed with long awaited new features like Web orientation, improved
and more precise tools, Adobe Illustrator remains the ultimate solution to
create high impact professional output. Every good graphic designer should
have already picked up this major update that clearly propels the software in
the Internet edge.
