If a picture's worth a thousand words, how much of a picture can 37 words create? If sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me, what in fact is the value of words? It's easy to underestimate the power of text, especially when we're discussing a graphics program like Illustrator. Strange as it may seem, Illustrator's powerful text capabilities can actually create an image in words that's worth as much as any picture. So with all that in mind, we decided to present this entire chapter only in pictures, without words. Okay, so that lasted for the first two tips and then we quickly returned to the more traditional words, accompanied by a picture method. It was an interesting thought though, wasn't it?
