    Illustrator CS2 Tutorial

    Here is an excellent Adobe Illustrator CS2 Tutorial for Illustrator beginners, from the Univeristy of Texas.  

    Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based imaging program. Unlike PhotoShop, which deals in pixels (raster images), Illustrator works with lines and algorithms to create various shapes. It functions by generating curved paths connected by modifiable anchor points. These anchors, with their handles, are editable. You can move, resize, or change the color of the tire without losing the quality of the graphic. A vector graphic is resolution-independent — that is, it can be scaled to any size and printed on any output device at any resolution without losing its detail or clarity. As a result, vector graphics are the best choice for type (especially small type) and bold graphics that must retain crisp lines when scaled to various sizes — for example, logos.
