Features: Computer graphics and graphic software applications are currently a hot topic. This book is primarily aimed at beginners who wish to quickly master software creation skills and engage in practical work, as well as professionals working in advertising creativity, graphic design, and multimedia production. It is particularly suitable for readers who have already grasped the basic functions and operation methods of the software. Since many readers have not received professional design training, they will be pleased to discover that, without realizing it, they learn the entire process of design operation while systematically improving their professional competence in graphic design. After reading this book, readers will be able to handle general design tasks. The content of this book does not aim for comprehensiveness but precision. The examples presented are always the most refined and frequently encountered in actual work. For commonly used commands and difficult-to-understand concepts, the book provides detailed explanations, enabling readers to acquire practical operational skills. The book is rich in content and well-structured. It begins with a section dedicated to explaining the main functions of PageMaker, Photoshop, and Illustrator, as well as the fundamentals of image processing. Following this, the book lists numerous examples and practical courses. These examples and courses are arranged in order of increasing complexity, so whether readers are beginners or advanced users, they can all gain some novel and enhanced techniques, elevating themselves to a completely different level. The two distinctive features of this book are the inclusion of a "Technical Focus" and a "Beyond the Example" section for each example. The former allows the author to expand on the depth and breadth of the examples from an expert's perspective, such as the application of advanced features, design principles, design elements, prepress techniques, and the use of other specialized software, etc. The latter is specifically designed to broaden readers' horizons, as it is widely known that the more one sees, the more one learns. Most people know that the design and production of items such as business cards, book covers, posters, advertisements, and packaging boxes are completed using graphic software, and that Photoshop, PageMaker, and Illustrator are classic representatives of such software. However, few people know the design concepts and production processes behind them, especially knowledge like design specifications and dimension settings, which are even less understood. This book addresses these issues by analyzing them through examples and explaining the knowledge of image processing and design concepts during the example introductions. Compared to other similar books, this one places greater emphasis on establishing design concepts and accumulating practical experience. The book is lively in format, clear in structure, rich in examples, and progresses step by step, combining text and illustrations to help readers achieve a deeper understanding. Therefore, it is suitable for professionals working in advertising creativity, graphic design, and multimedia production, as well as students in related fields of art schools and beginners who wish to quickly master creative skills and engage in practical work.
