Months after Adobe’s CS5 shipped, I am working on the third course in my overarching, comprehensive, all-new Illustrator CS5 One-on-One video series for lynda.com. I call it Mastery because this is where you get to master stuff. Here’s the net result of Chapter 24: “Gradient Mesh,” which features a pair of happy red peppers so exceptionally rendered that they must have been grown using the most advanced chemicals modern science has to offer. And they say biotech might be harmful—perish the thought!
If that’s not enough, here’s an image from Chapter 23: “Dynamic Effects,” in which I show you how to create a proper 6-pointed snowflake, complete with tiny embedded tribal faces. Here we have 14 polygons reflected and rotated to create a total of 11 real-time clones—or a total of 168 paths in all. Make the slightest change, and the 11 clones update on-the-fly. (I hasten to acknowledge, I stole this idea from Colleen, who came up with a similar idea using InDesign.)
I hope to see Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Advanced release in a few days. The series I’m working on? Sometimes in December.
And then I’m off to Photoshop CS5 Extended One-on-One: 3D, Photoshop CS5: Channels & Masks, many more Deke’s Techniques, and so on. Stay tuned.
So beautiful
I love those peppers. And I’m honored you used my snowflake to make something awesome.
Mastery Is Finally

Sorry, I was offline for a while
And so, evidently, was an important ingredient to the newsletter.
I picked today to fly off for my Thanksgiving break. And while nobody made even the slightest attempt to touch my junk (which, you know, hurt my feelings a little), I did have a flight canceled, miss a connection, and ultimately get trapped in the airport for several hours. In fact, I’m still in the damn airport.
This newsletter was a big production for us, with lots of moving parts. I thought we had all the pieces in place, but I see now that I missed one: I neglected the tiny detail of publishing Lou’s “Get Gorgeous Prints From Photoshop” article.
Anyway, it’s up now. Very sorry for the snafu.
Illustrator CS5 One-on-One Advanced
Is already recorded, and should go live inside the lynda.com Online Training Library shortly after Thanksgiving.
I saw that one flash by as well
Looking into it. Thanks.
Thanks
In Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Mastery, the 3rd and final area of the comprehensive Illustrator One-on-One series, author and industry expert Deke McClelland shows how to capitalize from the range of dynamic effects in Illustrator CS5. Deke explores Illustrator’s effective Gradient Mesh feature, ideal for creating photorealistic airbrushing effects. He also covers graphic styles, the liquify tools, envelope-style distortions, the brand new Bristle Brushes, three dimensional text, and perspective drawing. Exercise files accompany the course.
