Course Description

As with all of our classes, our Adobe Illustrator classes are hands-on and project-driven. In this 2-day advanced class, the projects include creating several posters, a flyer, some illustrations and a couple of t-shirts. For more details on the specific features covered, see the list under Class Topics.

Because students will work along with the instructor to complete a series of projects, we recommend using two displays in our online classes (this could be two monitors, two computers or a computer and a tablet), so that the student can keep one eye on the instructor’s screen as they work.

An eBook copy of the workbook and the data files will be sent to you prior to the start of the class.

Who Should Attend the Advanced Adobe Illustrator class?

This class is designed for someone who has either completed the Introduction to Adobe Illustrator class, or has been using Illustrator long enough to feel comfortable designing basic documents. The focus of this class is to locate and fill in the gaps in your knowledge while streamlining your workflow using the more advanced features of Illustrator. Layout is a deadline-driven business, and this class will help you get your documents to the printer in a timely manner and still have your nights and weekends for yourself. As with all of our advanced classes, we welcome all of your questions, so feel free to bring a list to class and your instructor will try to work in as many into the class as possible.

Prerequisites

Students attending this training class should have completed our beginning Illustrator class, or have equivalent experience. If you are not sure, please reach out to us at 303-319-9817 or email info@rockymountaintraining.com and we will help you find the right class.
