Description
Welcome to the complete beginners guide to Adobe Illustrator.
This is one of the greatest Video Tutorial Course made. After putting a plan on paper, we designed the best videos for everyone who takes this course to be pleased with the results after taking , and learning this Course.
If you need to create : Logos, Illustrations, Posters, Info Graphics, T-shirt Designs, Flyers , Adobe Illustrator is the program to create them. You can use any version of Illustrator, because in the Project Folder (in the course) you will find the project saved for any version of Illustrator.
On this course I will be introducing you to the program and covering some essential practise exercises.
Then I will be demonstrating how to create a small project in Adobe Illustrator from start to finish.
To help break down the process I have structured the course in 3 main sections:
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION 7 videos
SECTION 2 - ESSENTIAL PRACTISE 7 videos
SECTION 3 - TEST PROJECT 9 videos
- CHAPTER 1 - SETUP & LIVE TRACE
- CHAPTER 2 - DRAWING
- CHAPTER 3 - COLOURING & ADDING TYPE
- CHAPTER 4 - FINISHING & EXPORTING FOR PRINT
Along the way we will be covering many topics, such as how to set up your document, understand how the program works, use text in Illustrator, prepare and import images into Illustrator and finally export your document ready for print.
Who this course is for:
- If you have the passion for ART, this is the tutorial you should take. It is made with passion , for passionate Graphic Designers, great for any level. If you have a sense of drawing , listening, paying attention, and being very creative , i highly suggest to take this course , and the results will be on your expectations.
- If you don't have the skill to pay attention, or to follow an example, and most of all if you are not a patience learner, i don't suggest you should take this course.
- You should take this course , because creating Vector Art Work, is simply amazing and addictive !
