Domestika – Adobe Illustrator for Graphic Design

Domestika – Adobe Illustrator for Graphic Design: A graphic communication strategy is the basis of any venture, and the most effective tool to develop the entire graphic and visual world can be Adobe Illustrator, the most well-known and essential program designers use worldwide. In this six-part course, Domestika Basics artist and graphic designer Valeria Dubin will show users how to use Illustrator from scratch to design graphics from beginning to end.

Valeria has a wealth of work experience with brands such as Barcelo Hoteles, La Xunta de Galicia, and the CB, as well as projects like Pixar: 25 Years of Animation at the Caixa Forum in Barcelona, Spain, which teaches you how to make use of the program to design corporate stationery and logos and designs as well as textures and an advertising poster.

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the fundamental components of the Illustrator interface and how you can modify them according to your requirements. Find the distinction between pixels and vectors, learn how to make an image, and then become familiar with the overall workspace, including the most critical components, such as the properties panel and the toolbar.

After completing your tour through the tools for text, you can learn how to design and edit vectors. Please create a logo for a brand using an individual typeface and then transform it into an editable vector. Then create a tiny illustration of the symbol using simple lines. Once satisfied, join the two elements using the shape modifying and path tools before creating a brand identity by The Symbols panel.

The next step is to create an advertisement poster. Learn to work with photos and discover how to convert the images into vectors, and then create unique gradients, paints, and strokes to make stunning posters. The next step is to edit text bodies, arrange your artwork by layering it, and then create your final art.

For a final look at this series of Domestika Basics, look at the many options Illustrator offers for saving and exporting your projects. Learn about the various options and settings to create PDF files. You will also learn how to set the printing settings for your PDF files.
