Adobe® Illustrator® Level 2
Why you should attend: Illustrator CS4 is a sophisticated graphics program capable of creating complex and attractive illustrations and type effects. You might need to create logos, advertisements, and other illustrations in Illustrator. If you have little or no experience with Illustrator, it can be overwhelming to start creating complex illustrations. In this course, you'll start by drawing and manipulating simple shapes to create logos. You will also combine text and graphics to create advertisements. The target students for this course are graphic designers, or people transitioning into a design job, or taking on design responsibilities, who need to use Illustrator to create illustrations, logos, advertisements, or other graphic documents. You may have little or no experience with Illustrator. You may already be using InDesign and Photoshop.
