Check it out! Resources for Creative Suite Tutorials

A very good resource for learning specific techniques in Adobe Creative Suite is the Adobe Creative Suiite Channel on YouTube located at http://www.youtube.com/user/AdobeCreativeSuite

Another of my favorites is Terry White's podcast--lots of videos also available through iTunes at http://creativesuitepodcast.com/

I'm loading two of these videos (on the shapebuilder) below. This tool circumvents use of the pen tool in many instances, using shapes, and can save you lots of time building things like logos. (see http://tv.adobe.com/watch/illustrator-cs5-feature-tour/shapebuilder-tool/)

A third favorite with students is Adobe TV: http://tv.adobe.com/

And, if you like step-by-step written tutorials, I highly recommend these two:
