Hang on tight Illustrator is about to blow you away. In fact, using the advanced techniques in this book, you could transform a photo of yourself to look as if that was literally happening. Achieve over-the-top visuals including type on a 3D spiral, exaggerated dot patterns that create comic book characters inspired by Roy Lichtenstein, Escher-esque shapes in simulated 3D, hip-hop type, amazing animation,effects that would make Andy Warhol proud—more than fifty in all, and each one described step by step and illustrated in breathtaking color. Build upon what you already know about Illustrator to:

• See how exotic effects can be modified and applied in various situations
• Learn to map artwork onto 3D illustrations, a process that can be used in architectural renderings or newsletters
• Discover Illustrator's almost limitless fill options and ways to use them
• Create liquid type, a wide variety of photographic effects, and fantasy automotive detailing
• Render complex illustrations from traced photos using Live Paint
