Lesson 22, "3D Effects" will let you extrude an object into 3D space. This allows you to rotate an object which gives it depth. Or you can revolve a fragment of an object around a fixed axis. This allows you to render simple objects such as box art, 3D type and things like beverage bottles. Here you will learn how to wrap simple art work around a DVD case.

Lesson 23, "Printing and Exporting" explores the wide range of printing and exporting options that are available in Illustrator. Here you will learn how to set trim size and bleed, work with imageable area and crop boundary, work with color management, advanced and summary panels, save as formats, as well as exporting for various applications.

Lesson 24, "Creating and exporting Flash Animation" is all about using Illustrator to create simple transitional animation effects that can be exported to Flash more easily than any other program in the Creative Suite. While it stems from many features such as layers, symbols, and other Illustrator features, it really is mostly blending. Here you will use all of these techniques to create a self sustaining piece of Flash Animation. You don't even need to own Adobe Flash to create this.

As always, I really like Deke McClelland's presentation and his gift to make the complex simple. He takes what is a complicated program; Illustrator, and brings it down to earth in an easy to understand dialog. I really like the fact that the introductions to each chapter are films of the instructor explaining what the lesson is all about. I think that it makes the instructor more real than just hearing them talk in the voice over.
