Adobe Illustrator CS3 is the latest version of Adobe's industry standard vector-based illustrating tool and with the likely demise of Freehand it looks set to retain its crown for some time. It is used by graphic designers throughout the world to create a vast variety of different media including illustrations, package designs, leaflets & flyers, web graphics & animations, notice boards, billboards, and many other graphic objects. Mastering the basics then means you'll be able to produce an almost endless scope of graphic designs.
Adobe Illustrator CS3 adds some great new features that beginners can start using straight away such as Control palette, Adobe Bridge, Live Trace and expanded export options.
By the end of this two day course for beginners, you will have learnt about the key Adobe Illustrator CS3 features and tools that you need to begin designing attractive graphic designs and art work.
(This course is also available as a one day course. This introductory course covers most of the basics of the two day course but allows less time for experimenting and creating completed designs.)
