Overview
The Adobe Illustrator Bootcamp training combines our two essential skills classes into a single, comprehensive course.
This Adobe Illustrator course is a comprehensive program that covers both the fundamentals and intermediate concepts of using the software. It is a hands-on, four-day training that guides you through the industry-standard tool for creating high-quality vector graphics, ranging from business cards to billboards. Illustrator is not just for artists - you can also use it to create and edit Acrobat PDF documents, design prototypes and dashboards, create logos, brochures, and much more.
The course will teach you how to use Illustrator's "Live" features, such as Live Type, Live Trace, Live Paint, and Live Color, as well as how to work with color, typography, and 3D objects. You will learn how to combine your Photoshop skills with Smart Objects, master the use of the Appearance panel and advanced clipping masks, and create stunning gradients with the mesh tool.
