Overview
A comprehensive course that pairs and integrates both our Corporate Marketing 1 and 2 classes. This course is a complete foundation that starts at a beginning level and progresses to an intermediate level of mastery.
This comprehensive course is designed for business professionals who want to learn how to use Illustrator, the industry standard tool for vector graphic design, to create professional quality marketing materials and communication pieces. It covers a wide range of topics, including logos, business cards, flyers, design guides, infographics, and much more. The course begins at a beginner level and progresses to an intermediate level of mastery, covering concepts such as color, typography, and the "Live" features of Illustrator, such as Live Type, Live Trace, Live Paint, and Live Color.
In addition to these core skills, you will also learn how to create 3D objects with artwork mapped to them, import symbol movie clips into Flash to animate layer objects, incorporate your Photoshop skills with Smart Objects, perfect your use of the Appearance panel and create advanced clipping masks, and create patterns, gradients, and custom brushes. You will work on well-designed projects that can be customized and incorporated into your own workflow, and you will learn how to use Illustrator to quickly manipulate and create Acrobat PDF documents, create mocks and dashboards for prototyping, and more.
By the end of the course, you will be able to use Illustrator to create a variety of output files for web, print, and video, and you will be familiar with the new toolset available in the software. This Adobe Illustrator training course is tailored specifically for business professionals and is suitable for both small and large organizations. Our clients include employees from energy companies, financial investment and banking firms, and government agencies seeking effective branding and engaging communication strategies.
