Adobe for Fashion: Illustrator CS6

Okay, I rarely write reviews because, well I'm lazy. This book is amazing. I'm semi tech-savvy, I'm in my 20's so I grew up on computers, but I don't love them as I find a lot of programs frustrating. This book makes illustrator so simple! I knew some of the basics but this took the guess work out. I am so grateful for how well put together and comprehensive it is in regard to the need to knows for fashion. So user friendly and the illustrations are really helpful. It's so simple. I am only in section 1 still but its going fast and I just love the way it's written, I've scanned ahead as well and have no worries about progressing in the book. Recommend to anyone who wants a simple step by step. It was written in 2012? but not out of date at all from what I can tell. No issues. Love it.

I have been taking a general Adobe Illustrator class because my local JC doesn't offer a fashion specific AI class. I just completed my first set of fashion flats with this book, and it was SO EASY. The directions are step by step, and the flats come out looking exactly how they're supposed to. I have yet to do any advanced flats, but my first experience alone was worth the cost of the book. Robin's website adobeforfashion.com is also an incredible resource with lots of videos and supportive information. I should add that I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud (as opposed to CS6) and all the instructions have carried over perfectly.

I have never used AI very much since it seemed easier to use Photoshop to work on most applications. This book however, made it easy to use the tools and start designing. I have always hand drawn my designs, but I am looking seriously at using AI for a development tool for my sketches. I usually stumble through the tools to get my end result. Although, I have been successful I was never able to replicate what I did and spent way too many hours getting a project just the way I wanted to. It was a quick read and had lots of examples as the author walked you through every step or phase for you to feel confident. I now use it as a reference.

My Illustrator for Fashion professor said this is the best book for fashion design students. It is to the point and explains basics that every student should know on their way to a full time career.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the dream reference book about fashion illustration for Adobe Illustrator. I am a recent graduate of UNCG's CARS department, but I never was required to buy this text. I chose to order it on my own volition as I thought it might be great supplemental material. Lucky was I, Robin Schneider's handy guide became my go-to for using Adobe Illustrator relative to fashion design. My professor even liked the content in the book and has planned to include it on their syllabus, henceforth. This book is filled with specific instructions and diagrams that make learning Illustrator for fashion design clear and concise - learn how to add ribbing to knits or make perfectly spaced buttons. Throughout the text, there are examples of students who have used Schneider's techniques. I recommend any first-year design student to purchase this book and hold onto it because even the pro's can't retain all there is to know. If you're the good kind, then share it with all your designer friends!

Good!

Lots of great information to improve your personal aptitude for producing Tech Flats on AI

I got this book to help me through my final class project. This book provided a clear step-by-step guide on using illustrator for fashion flats. If you want to learn how to use illustrator and not get frustrated this is the book to get. I was very surprised over how simple to follow the instructions were. I ended up getting an A on my project. Would not have been able to get through it without the help of this book. I am no longer intimidated to use Illustrator!

Guida per illustrator chiara ed efficace. Consigliata per coloro che vogliono imparare ad utilizzare il programma, tutti i passaggi sono spiegati molto bene

So far this is one of the best books. Very clear and easy to understand. Explain everything in simple steps. Recommended.

Great and easy step by step explained. Lot's of good instructions if you are beginner. You need to be fluent in English to understand the book. The template is not possible to download. But I don't mind as I already have my own templates.

I’m taking a class on fashion illustration on Adobe Illustrator and this book is super useful and really easy to follow! My professor recommended it for beginners. The shipping was also super fast. Great buy!

Love the book. It's 'the book' for beginners.
