Illustrator 2 - Designing Business Marketing Materials


Skill Level: Advanced

This class is a perfect follow up to our Designing a Logo in Illustrator class! In this class, we will start with an overview of the basics of the Adobe Illustrator CS program, and move quickly onto setting up and designing your business cards, letterhead, envelopes, brochure and newsletter files. In addition to designing these business marketing materials in class, you will also learn how to set up the files for print, and take your print ready designs with you on a cd!

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you take our Designing a Logo in Illustrator class prior to taking this class, or have a basic working knowledge of the Adobe Illustrator program. You must have a logo in digital format on cd (preferrably a vector art format) to bring to class so that it can be incorporated into the marketing materials that we will be designing in class.
