Adobe Training Overview
In this course, you will use Adobe Illustrator 9.0 to create dynamic graphics using advanced drawing and editing tools, path editing techniques, filter effects, and masks. You will also take advantage of the latest features added to Illustrator, including the Transparency palette, live effects, and the Appearance palette, to create effects that were unattainable in previous versions
Adobe Training Prerequisites
To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following course or have equivalent knowledge:
- Illustrator 9.0: Introduction
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.
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:
- Draw with advanced object drawing tools and dynamically change their settings.
- Use advanced path editing techniques such as the Pathfinder commands, the Scissors and Knife tools, the Lasso selection tools, the Align palette, Compound paths, and guides.
- Perform exact transformations to move, rotate, reflect, and shear visually or in precise increments.
- Convert vector images to raster and apply specialized filters.
- Copy and paste live effects and dynamically edit the vector images that use them.
- Use the Appearance palette to manage the application of effects and styles.
- Create and edit exciting graphics using a gradient mesh and blends between objects.
