Using the professional design process, students are tasked with researching each project topic, producing design sketches, executing a final polished design, and then critiquing each other. Students will apply this knowledge in individual and team projects. Students will also learn advanced techniques such as working with Brushes, Symbols, Type objects, Masking, Graphic Styles, Artboards, and exporting the results for variant purposes. Students will be introduced to the foundations of vector graphics, including understanding anchor point types, creating paths and geometrical shapes, object's properties such as Fill and Stroke, working with gradients, and how to organize objects in groups and layers. Producing high quality vector graphics is a must-have skillset for any graphic designer. interface elements, graphics for brochures or manuals, patterns, clothing, and in fine art.
