If you're a premium member of lynda.com, you
have access to the exercise files I'll be using.
They can be found in the exercise files tab on the main page of this course.
You'll find exercise files for each chapter within the exercise files folder,
so you can follow along with the same project that I'm working on.
Now, if you don't have access to
the exercise files, you can still follow along.
You can use your own files, or you might want to create some files
from scratch.
Now, to get the most our of the exercise files you should
be familiar with the tools in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and InDesign.
So, now you should be ready to begin exploring packaging concepts and design.
