For tonight's class, you will be working in Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a wonderful program that allows you a lot of creative freedom. While it's main feature is creating artwork, you can also use it to make page layouts.
To start out, I want you to familiarize yourself with some of illustrators different tools. Watch the following YouTube videos and work through each tutorial on your own. Watch them more than once if needed and make sure you understand each one before continuing. There will be an assignment at the end, so keep reading.
Watch these tutorials and do the exercises on your own computer:
Now that you've watched these tutorials, take a few minutes to make ME a document. I want you to create an Illustrator file that contains all of the following:
• One Circle
• One Square
• One circle and one square together (combined using the shape builder tool)
• Type your name using the type tool and place it in the middle of the page (use your selection tool to move it!)
Once you have all of those on the page, save your file as a PDF and email it to me. Try your best to convert your type to outlines before sending! (It's shown in the last video above.)
Please send me your document before class ends TONIGHT (Monday, April 1st.)
