During the Photoshop lessons, we’ll introduce you to the world of pixel graphics editing. This versatile software is perfect for photo retouching, creating brush illustrations, applying textures, and designing simple layouts with text. You’ll become skilled at navigating the layer system, exploring various editing techniques, and manipulating images with effects and textures.
In the Illustrator lessons, you’ll unlock the potential of vector graphics editing. This software is ideal for logo and icon design, vector illustrations, typography, and creating other vector-based designs such as tote bags and stickers. We’ll delve into the different illustration tools, learn about the distinction between vector and pixel images, and discover the shape editor for geometric designs. We’ll also explore color theory, composition, and depth.
In the final class of the course, we’ll bring everything together by combining the three software programs. You’ll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills from Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign to create integrated designs that showcase your creativity.
