About Illustrator

Adobe® Illustrator® CS4 software is a comprehensive vector graphics environment tightly integrated with the Adobe Creative Suite® family of products. New features such as multiple artboards, a Blob Brush tool for intuitive vector painting, and transparency in gradients with on-object controls invite you to explore more efficient and creative ways of working.
Explore new features—Powerful additions such as the Blob Brush tool and transparency in gradients inspire new creativity. The highly anticipated multiple artboards feature prompts new ways of working.
Discover hidden gems—Existing features have been polished, and hidden functions have been uncovered to reveal usefulness and depth, enabling you to learn more quickly and take better advantage of the power of Illustrator.
Work efficiently—Illustrator CS4 offers improved interaction with options and tools, plus you can do more directly on the artboard. Innovations with Smart Guides and Isolation Mode plus new panel behaviors enable a smoother, more efficient workflow.
Deliver almost anywhere—Print delivery is more reliable with Separations Preview. And with new user interface similarity and shared formats among Adobe Creative Suite® tools, work across applications is virtually seamless.
What Will I Learn?
The two-day intro course gets you working from the word 'go' and you'll create an illustration that uses the major tool sets and some advanced features. You'll also create a logo and a poster with information graphics and turn the pen tool into a trusted ally (rather than a really scary adversary).
The one-day intermediate/advanced course gets you creating photo-realsitic imagery with meshes, explores the potential for lightning-fast production techniques and exporting for the web and to Flash - you'll even make an animated banner!
