About this badge

Adobe Illustrator is the leading software for vector-based art creation. Familiarize yourself with Illustrator tools, interface, and palettes. Learn how to draw with the pen and pencil tools, to create curves, and to select objects, and then combine these with geometric objects. Modify objects with the reshape, transform, and arrange commands. Stroke your paths and color your shapes, add type to your designs, and work with layers and filters. Use brushes, gradients, and blends; open and import images from other applications; and learn what file formats correspond to different outputs. Hands-on class exercises and take-home assignments are designed to build a designer’s and illustrator’s portfolio.
