Welcome to the complete beginners guide to Adobe Illustrator.



On this course I will be introducing you to the program and covering some essential practise exercises.



Then I will be demonstrating how to create a small project in Adobe Illustrator from start to finish.



To help break down the process I have structured the course in 3 main sections:



SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION



SECTION 2 - ESSENTIAL PRACTISE



SECTION 3 - TEST PROJECT



CHAPTER 1 - SETUP & LIVE TRACE

CHAPTER 2 - DRAWING

CHAPTER 3 - COLOURING & ADDING TYPE

CHAPTER 4 - FINISHING & EXPORTING FOR PRINT



Along the way we will be covering many topics, such as how to set up your document, understand how the program works, use text in Illustrator, prepare and import images into Illustrator and finally export your document ready for print.



Enjoy
