Illustrator

Master the art of vector-based design with Adobe Illustrator - Create stunning artwork and designs for various media formats with precision and scalability.

About course

Illustrator is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Adobe Inc. It is a powerful software used for creating and editing vector-based artwork, illustrations, and designs. Unlike raster-based image editors like Adobe Photoshop, which use pixels to represent images, Illustrator uses mathematical equations to represent shapes, lines, and curves, allowing for scalability without loss of quality. This makes Illustrator an ideal tool for creating graphics that need to be resized or used in various media formats. What will you learn? An Illustrator course typically involves hands-on exercises, practical projects, and demonstrations to ensure that students gain practical experience and proficiency in using the software. By the end of the course, students should be able to create professional-quality vector-based artwork and be ready to apply their Illustrator skills to various design projects.
