x [OLD] Adobe Illustrator Basics

Would you like to bring your sketches to life on the computer? How about illustrations for posters, prints, apparel, social media or your website? In this class Ashley Bennett will be teaching you the fundamentals of Adobe Illustrator and how you can use it for projects. We’ll cover everything you need as a beginner to the program - from essential tools to creating an image from basic shapes, to type and working with color. You’ll also receive files to work from, tips and tricks to optimize your workflow, and leave class with your own digital illustration! Note: Not to worry if you don't have Adobe Illustrator - we recommend downloading their free trial for the class.

Please bring your computer. Having a computer mouse is also strongly recommended. If you don't already have a copy of Adobe Illustrator, we recommend that you download a free 7-day trial: http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html.
