Adobe Illustrator is a software that allows for distinctive vector graphics developing, thereby giving way to speed and stability on large complex files.
This is a 6 day course shall focus on Levels 1 and 2 as well as Lab 1 and 2. In Level 1, participants will go through an introduction to illustrator, shapes, special effects, masking techniques and do an in-training exercise. Similarly, in Level 2, our main focus is Vector Design. This would cover drawing outlines, accurate tracing, replicating logo design and much more.
In the next phase, participants will mainly focus on logo designing, with trainers helping them cover the history, science and development of logo designing, case studies, typography as well as implementing logos on various platforms. Lab 2 on the other hand is very different, our trainers shall focus on package design. Similar to Lab 1, in Lab 2 we will guide our participants on the history and science of package designing, do a case study, create a mock-up design and other tools that would be vital in the understanding of the topic at hand.
