Adobe Illustrator training course

This Adobe Illustrator training course aims to enable delegates to produce a wide range of material including:

• product diagrams
• maps
• logo creation
• graphs of financial data

Making real documents

Learning how the software works is all very well but we show you the next stage too - how to create finished print-ready documents. We try to base your course on the actual documents you need to make. You can send PDF examples to us prior to your course.

We hold your course at your offices
and on dates that suit you

 

The course addresses these issues:

1. How do I use Adobe Illustrator to draw some maps and logos?
2. How can we create graphs suitable for print?
3. How do I create as series of product diagrams?

Course Duration 2 Days
