Class Description
You've got the basics: shapes, the transformation tools (scaling, rotating, etc.), using text, the essentials of Live Paint and Live Trace. In this class we learn how to combine paths and strategically alter them to make the most elaborate and precise illustrations. Make the difference between a good start and a finished piece!
A Note About CS6
If you have a previous version of the software, don't worry! Although we're teaching Adobe® Creative Suite® 6, your instructor will point out which features are new and which aren't.
So whether you're using CS6 or its predecessors, our classes will meet your needs.
