This one day advanced course builds on our Illustrator Introduction course, developing additional skills that use the advanced tools within this software.

You’ll be able to create visually stunning, scalable graphics for use in web, mobile, video and print workflows and create 3D illustrations, lighting effects, and apply artwork to 3D objects

Learning how to use professional vector editing software correctly can be hugely rewarding, cost effective and timesaving, justifying the time and cost of training.

Since its release in 1986, Adobe Illustrator has firmly established itself as a market leader in digital illustration and “infographics”.

From cereal boxes, to multi-national corporate logos and identity, Adobe Illustrator is at the heart of global visual communications.

Here’s an example of  what you will be able to achieve after this training.
