Flat Sketching in Adobe Illustrato​r (Basic Flats) in Los Angeles

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

10am till 4:30pm (open Q&A from 4:30pm to 5pm)

This course is for beginners to intermediate skill levels.

This course is a 'hands-on', exercise driven workshop. We start with Illustrator's user interface and toolset and progress quickly from basic shape drawing to actual sketching with the 'pen-tool'.
We will also cover:
· Creating 'libraries' of assets such as buttons and trims
· Basic stitches
· Basic fills
· Pantones and other proprietary color palettes
· Using a croquis as a 'base template' for creating your own flat
· Saving the file so it can be emailed easily and opened by any computer

Step by step workbooks with screen captures of each step along with companion CD-ROM containing supporting files and completed versions of each exercise are provided for each registered trainee to keep, thus insuring the class content goes home with you when class is over.
The images above are samples of the work we do in this course.
