Course Summary

Our Adobe Illustrator graphic design courses in Dubai, UAE begin with having an overview of the interface and compare vector graphics and pixel-based content. We’ll discuss about which of the two is preferable for various platforms and how we can convert one from the other. Whether your artwork is going to end up on a digital platform like web or apps, or your artwork is going to end up as a printed piece in a book or a magazine.

Let’s learn the ins and outs of creating layers, sublayers and groups as we work with the basic shapes and work our way forward with The Mighty Path Finder Operations. Using the transform controls in Illustrator enables you to duplicate multiple shapes and combine them using path finder controls. We’ll end the day by saving our artworks optimized both for printing and digital mediums.

Taking our knowledge of vector shapes up a notch, we’ll be learning to create and manipulate custom shapes in Illustrator. Start of the Day 02 for our graphic design course, brings a quick exercise where we’ll be designing a poster using all the tools, we’ve learnt so far and a few more new tools and commands.

Working with and manipulating text and textual elements along with the use of rulers, grids and guides gives your artwork a certain sort of direction that is synonymous with graphics design. We’ll also have an in depth look at the aligning and distributing multiple shapes and vector elements to the artboards or among themselves.

The main event of the day-2 of this Graphic Design course in Dubai is the amazing Pen Tool. This is something that we’ll be using extensively throughout the course as we go forward. The Pen tool is like a swiss army knife when it comes to creating and modifying Beziers and Paths. Our carefully designed Pen Tool exercises ensure that you learn this amazing tool with full confidence and authority.

Paths without Fills and Strokes are just like the skeletons without flesh. So, to put some flesh and skin on our paths, we’ll be learning about Solid and Gradient Fills and Strokes. Talking about strokes, we’ll also use some of the preset width profiles and learn to create custom Stroke Widths as we create our final exercise to finish up the artwork.

As we move towards the intermediate phase of our graphic design course in Dubai, we tend to also put all the newly learnt tools and commands together and sort of mature up our knowledge of working with vectors, text and color all together. All these topics, we’ll be taking a deep dive learning about all of them in great detail along with some more advanced topics and tools.

Compound paths, clipping masks and an in depth look at the Powerful Layers’ Panel is the order of the day. We’ll be learning about the Knife and Scissors tools and we’ll be filling our shapes and paths with Gradients and creating reusable swatches. Illustrator and Photoshop Effects are the things that we’ll applying on our shapes and paths.

Lastly, we’ll have a look at working with dashes and arrows on our Strokes to create various types of edges and seams. We’ll also have a look at creating and applying Paragraph and Character Styles for our Point and Area Text.

Working with color both in terms of color combinations and color gamuts is of extreme importance when it comes to creating artworks for print and digital realm. Day – 04 of our graphic design course in Dubai brings the understanding of color managed workflow and recoloring artwork with Color Harmony rules. Working with Pantone, Spot and Process colors is something that we’ll be discussing as well.

Shape Builder Tool is another versatile tool used to create Logos and general shapes that we’ll do a few exercises on. Next up, we’ll be creating and working with various types of Brushes right inside of Illustrator. Multiple Opacities, Blending Modes and Opacity Masks are the topics that are next in line as we discuss about working with Dynamic Effects and The Appearance Panel.

Last day of our Graphic Design course in Dubai brings about the concept of working with Dynamic 3D Effects in Illustrator. We’ll be learning to Extrude, Revolve and Rotate shapes in three dimensions. You’ll also be learning about creating and using symbols that can also be wrapped on a 3D mesh created using the 3D Effects.

Another way to make your Vector Objects look realistic is to use Gradient Meshes and we’ll be learning about that. One of the last topics of the course is to understand perspective and putting & creating your Architectural Vector Artwork along a certain perspective using Illustrator’s Perspective Grid and Perspective Selection tools.

At the very end, we’ll have a look at the workflow of working with and combining Photoshop and Illustrator in conjunction. And that’s how we end our Adobe Illustrator GOLD graphic design course.
