On day one at the workshop you will be introduced to: • The basic overview of the program. • How to handle and use ‘Workspaces’ and ‘art boards’. • Learn how to handle the "Pen Tool" to be able to create the shapes you want. • How to create exciting shapes with Illustrator's normal geometric shapes by assembling them into finished artwork. • How to get a grip on the panel ‘appearance’ so you can give your shape just the "look" you are going for. • How to give your shapes a 3D look with Gradient Mesh and 3D resolve. • Introduction to shape design of cells, cancer, virus and other relevant shapes like HPV etc. • Use of masks • Be effective and have the opportunity to be super creative with the text tool. • It is even possible to use Adobe firefly (AI) to create assets and to recolor our existing illustrations. On day two there will be time to look in depth at the things we have learned on day 1. As well as exploring some more advanced functions and creating illustrations based on relevant cases.
