Through a series of rigorous scaffolding projects, this unique step-by-step instruction tool is designed to provide arts and design users with the fundamental skills and knowledge to create vector-based artwork and establishes a link to the Californian standards for the visual arts, the Californian career and technical education standards (CTE), and the standards for the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). The lessons in this book are designed so that you can learn at your own pace. Even if the user is new to Adobe Illustrator or vector-based drawing, the skills learned are transferable to most vector-based drawing programs. Through this book, every experienced artist will gain many advanced skills, including tips and techniques for using Adobe Illustrator CS6. Although each lesson in this book provides a step-by-step instruction for creating specific projects, the steps, techniques, and tools covered allow for students to experiment and explore their own ideas. This book is designed to be followed in sequence; however, if your skills and understanding are advanced enough, you can jump to any unit that corresponds to your interests and needs. Each lesson concludes with a Testing Your Understanding section and vocabulary list to summarize and reinforce what you have covered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scalable Vector Graphics -- or SVG -- is the new XML-based graphics standard from the W3C that will enable Web documents to be smaller, faster and more interactive. J. David Eisenberg's insightful book takes you through the ins and outs of SVG, beginning with basics needed to create simple line drawings and then moving through more complicated features like filters, transformations, and integration with Java, Perl, and XSLT.Unlike GIFs, JPEGs or PNGs (which are bitmapped), SVG images are both resolution- and device-independent, so that they can scale up or down to fit proportionally into any size display or any Internet device -- from PDAs to large office monitors and high-resolution printers. Smaller than bitmapped files and faster to download, SVG images can be rendered with different CSS styles for each environment. They work well across a range of available bandwidths.SVG makes it possible for designers to escape the constant need to update graphics by hand or use custom code to generate bitmap images. And while SVG was created with the Web in mind, the language has a variety of other uses. SVG greatly simplifies tasks like: Creating web sites whose graphics reflect the content of the page, changing automatically if the content changes Generating graphs and charts from information stored in a wide variety of sources Exchanging detailed drawings, from architectural plans to CAD layouts to project management diagrams Creating diagrams that users can explore by zooming in and panning around Generating bitmap images for use in older browsers using simple automatable templates Managing graphics that support multiple languages or translations Creating complex animation By focusing sharply on the markup at the foundation of SVG, SVG Essentials gives you a solid base on which to create your own custom tools. Explanations of key technical tools -- like XML, matrix math, and scripting -- are included as appendices, along with a reference to the SVG vocabulary.Whether you're a graphic designer in search of new tools or a programmer dealing with the complex task of creating and managing graphics, SVG Essentials provides you with the means to take advantage of SVG.
