An introduction to your course instructor, Brandon Ortega
A discussion about how I feel Adobe Illustrator is a far easier to learn software then Adobe Photoshop. In this video, I show you how intuitive it is.
I explain what resolution is and a little bit about scaling up an image to better explain raster, in Photoshop. Then I go into Adobe Illustrator to explain what vector is and how to use it.
I show you how to create a New Document with Merch by Amazon's required dimensions and resolution. This is important because Adobe Illustrator uses PPI instead of DPI. This means required pixels dimensions are different then the required dimensions for Adobe Photoshop.
Before uploading your design to Merch by Amazon, I show you how to create temporary colored backgrounds to see how your design looks with different t-shirt colors. This is a good way to double check your designs color scheme against different t-shirt color and make final changes before uploading.
