Adobe Illustrator is the leading software to create vector-based art. Familiarize yourself with Illustrator tools, interface, and palettes. Learn how to draw with the pen and pencil tools, create curves, and select objects. Combine these with geometric objects. Use reshape, transform and arrange commands to modify objects. Stroke your paths and color your shapes, add type to your designs, and work with layers and basic filters. Use brushes, gradients, and blends; open and import images from other applications; and learn what file formats to use for different outputs. Hands-on class exercises and home assignments are designed to build a designer's and illustrator's portfolio.
