Paths, curves, shapes and blends. Explore your creative vision with the industry standard in vector graphics.

Adobe Illustrator is an unsurpassed design tool, used for print and the web in everything from corporate logos to illustrations and snowboard graphics. Unlike layout files or Photoshop graphics, vector graphics are infinitely resizable without an increase in file size or loss of image quality.

Illustrator lets you create graphics that are easily reproduced across different media and that integrate seamlessly with other programs in the Adobe Creative Suite.

This workshop is an introduction to the basics of Illustrator. Beginners will gain hands-on experience using the program’s core functions—paths,points, curves, strokes, and fills—to develop their ability to create and manipulate shapes, and to explore with confidence more complex techniques such as layers, masks,transparency, and blends.

*You should have some knowledge of Photoshop.
