Description:
Want to learn how to create a logo or illustration that can be
displayed at any size and never loose quality? Start learning how to
use the industry-leading application for creating "vector graphics". Vector graphics are great for images with solid colors (as opposed to millions of subtle variations in color, like a photograph) and gradients. By
re-creating one of the instructor’s personal illustrations as the basis
for learning, this course will bring you, step-by-step, through the
basics of Adobe Illustrator. Bring your own computers to follow along if you wish!
This workshop will cover:- Layers
-
Using the pen tool to draw Bezier-curves.
-
Working with paths and strokes
-
Using the color palette and gradients
-
Combining basic shapes to create new, complex shapes.
-
Scaling and rotating
- Transparency
- Clipping paths
-
Placing text
-
Fun effects like the Symbol Sprayer Tool and Extrude and Bevel effect.
-
Saving your files
Presented in Adobe CS5, but most of what is taught will apply to earlier
versions of the program.
Presented as a Lecture-Style Workshop:
These are our most affordable training programs, designed to introduce a subject quickly and efficiently. Students can take notes from the instructor's projected computer screen, and/or bring their own computer to follow along. Lecture-style workshops are normally held on weekday evenings from 6 pm – 9 pm and contain a maximum of 30 students (average is 8-20).
Who Should Take This:
Anyone who wants to create vector images for the web, multimedia, and print. Students should have a sound working knowledge of either a PC or Mac.
Instructor:
 Kevin Menzie runs a local print and web design/development agency called Slice of Lime and uses Adobe Illustrator on a daily basis to create icons, logos, and print pieces. In his free time, Kevin draws cartoons using a pencil, a scanner, and Adobe Illustrator. Samples of his illustration work can be seen on his website: http://www.kevinmenzie.com/illustrations/
