Elstree Film Studios - Training Courses - Adobe Illustrator Introduction









"A very good starting point. We went over everything in illustrator and had a chance to do it alone. Looking forward to using at work." Orantez.

Adobe Illustrator allows you to create sophisticated artwork for virtually any medium. Industry-standard drawing tools, flexible colour functions and professional type controls help you capture your ideas and experiment freely, whilst timesaving features such as the easier-to-access options let you work quickly and intuitively. This intensive one day training course offers you an in-depth introduction to the software and shows you how to use the program to your best advantage. The course introduces you to the drawing and painting tools, brushes, text, layers and objects in a coherent and comprehensive manner. In addition, more advanced techniques are also covered including working with symbols and paths and how to achieve many sophisticated effects and techniques with the program.

"I attended the course with no previous knowledge of illustrator and it was a daunting experience at first but I have come away feeling confident and enthusiastic about the programme." Vokera Limited.

Duration: 1 day.

Location: 21st Century New Media (Production Offices), Elstree Film Studios, Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1JG. [MAP]
