Adobe Illustrator Advanced Techniques
FEATURES
- Fun, interactive ebook in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) format (19 Adobe Illustrator files)
- 101 fully illustrated pages with practical application for the fashion industry
- Easy to follow instructions with interactive vector illustrations and screen shots
INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS: For the first time ever, we’ve presented these tutorials in Adobe Illustrator format, which allows you to fully interact with the features as you learn them! With this new “hands on” format, you can select and click on vector objects that appear next to the text. This allows you to observe important attributes of selected vectors that aren’t captured in regular screen shots. The ability to select paths and objects as you read about them will give you a greater understanding in your Adobe Illustrator training. A few lessons even have practice exercises that you can complete right in the file! Some screen shots are incorporated as needed, so each step is still easy to follow and understand.
