In Adobe Photoshop, we will review photo editing and manipulation techniques like how to cut objects out, duotones, change color on objects, and the liquify tool, and we will create a compelling YouTube thumbnail with our newly learned Photoshop skills as well as an entire book cover design project.
In Adobe Illustrator, we will master the pen tool by hand tracing simple and complex shapes. We will explore the power of the shapebuilder tool, and at the end of this section, we will design a complete logo. There is an entirely new introduction and tools section that has been added where we work through a 7-page vector tracing worksheet and, in the end, create a complex vector illustration using our newly learned Illustrator vector tools.
We will put together an event flyer to practice our layout skills and even work through the branding process and create a logo, business card, and letterhead for a business. We will create a magazine layout in InDesign and learn the master pages tool to drastically speed up your design workflow when working with multiple-page layouts.
Lastly, we will create shapes, posters, invitation cards, transform bitmaps into editable objects, and other things, along with some helpful tips in Coreldraw to make your work befitting and in good shape.
