| Description: | Are you planning a career as a graphic artist? If so, this course is for you! Adobe Illustrator is the industry standard for creating vector images—graphics that artists can resize to fit on anything from a dome to a billboard—and it’s the program of choice for drawing logos and designing type effects. In addition, it’s an outstanding companion tool to Adobe Photoshop, and it’s perfect for creating graphics for Flash sites. In this course, you’ll learn how to use a wide range of tools in Adobe Illustrator CS4, including the enhanced Recolor Artwork feature and the redesigned Gradient tool. By the end of the course, you’ll be a master at using Illustrator to further your career and express your own creativity. Requirements: Adobe Illustrator CS4 for Windows and Windows XP or Vista or Adobe Illustrator CS4 for Mac and Mac OS X; Internet access, e-mail, the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox Web browser, and the Adobe Flash and PDF plug-ins (two free and simple downloads you obtain at http://www.adobe.com/downloads by clicking Get Adobe Flash Player and Get Adobe Reader). Note: Illustrator software must be installed and fully operational before the course begins. |
