Adobe Training Overview
In this course you will learn to use Illustrator to work with several graphic formats. You will create dynamic effects using patterns and brushes. You will also use advanced text manipulation techniques to effectively integrate text into your illustrations
Adobe Training Prerequisites
We designed Illustrator 9.0 Advanced for the experienced student who has completed the Illustrator 9.0 Intermediate class or has an equivalent level of proficiency in Illustrator.
Before taking this course you should be familiar with creating paths, using the Appearance, Layers, and Transparency palettes, applying filters and transformations, and editing the fill and stroke of a path.
Hardware/Software Requirements
You will need
- An Intel Pentium or faster processor.
- Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000 operating system.
- A hard disk with at least 105 MB of available hard disk space to install the Illustrator 9.0 software, and an additional 5 MB of free hard disk space for the course data files.
- At least 64 MB of random-access memory (RAM).
- A CD-ROM drive.
- A video card that supports a monitor resolution of at least 800-by-600 pixels.
- Adobe Illustrator 9.
- Web browser with the Macromedia Flash Player installed.
See your reference manual for hardware considerations that apply to your specific hardware setup.
In addition, you will need printers if you want to print the images created in the course
Performance-Based Objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Import graphics that use several different file formats, both linked and unlinked, and export graphics using several different file formats.
- Export an illustration to the Flash format as a working animation.
- Create and edit tiled patterns and apply them to objects and paths.
- Design, customize, and employ special Art, Calligraphic, Pattern, and Scatter brushes to create dynamic visual effects.
- Adjust the size of the artboard to create oversize prints and reset the default angle to enable perspective drawing with guides.
- Import and format text with advanced type editing options such as autohyphenation, smart punctuation, linked text boxes, and text wrapping.
- Match colors between Illustrator and other applications that use color management.
- Perform trapping to prevent gaps in printing due to potential misregistration.
- Prepare to print a color separation and apply printerâ??s marks to a document.
