Shortcuts are essential for today's designer. Equally essential are tangible, real life representations to direct designers in the virtual world of illustrator screens. This new designer tool offers the ultimate in this real world-virtual connection. Firstly, it's a sketch book featuring commonly designed templates such as CD covers and envelopes, as well as graph paper and blank pages. It also has a section of standard paper sizes for both US and international markets. To make the connection to the digital world, the book includes a CDR of all the templates featured in the book. Come up with a design, then transfer it more precisely to your computer.
