Product Design: Making Vectors into Art

This course provides students with a general understanding of Adobe Illustrator and digital vector art. Techniques taught in this workshop are geared towards the fields of illustration, character design, animation, and graphic design. Photoshop does similar thing with pixels, but vectors are different because they can be enlarged to any size (even the size of a billboard) without losing quality. Vectors are incredibly helpful with design and layout, since logos and other objects will often be used repeatedly in different sizes. Vectors have also earned a reputation from their clean look, making their way into the hands of character designers and illustrators. Even animators who use Flash (a program that animates using vectors) use Illustrator to create their characters and scenes before they animate.
