Illustrator

Picture
Most Graphics Designers use Adobe Create Suite software to create. In the Offset Lithography Notepad project you used Illustrator and Photoshop; two programs from the Creative Suite. In the next unit of the course, you will become more familiar with the power of Adobe Illustrator and why it's such a powerful tool. You will learn to draw using shapes in the Illustrator Dog assignment and draw irregular shapes with the pen tool in the Vectoring assignment. It might be a little overwhelming when you first start to use it, but the more you experiment with Illustrator, the easier it gets.
