Learn the basics of key Adobe Creative Cloud programmes with our introductory sessions in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Led by Meg, these sessions will be relaxed and completely beginner friendly – a space where you can get to grips with the basic workings of these programmes. Specific topics will be covered in each session but do feel free to also come along with any specific questions.
You don’t have to attend every session – feel free to choose those which appeal to you – however each session within each programme will follow on from the last.
These introductory Illustrator sessions will cover the basics of vector design and typography design, the end result being a basic logo composition.
Covered in this session:
- Typography basics – paragraph & character
- Expand/create outlines – manipulate type
- Type on a path
- Clipping mask
- Combining with icons – very light intro to logo design (started in the session so you can explore and finish in your own time)
Before this session you will receive an email instructing you on how to log in to Creative Cloud and download the programme. However, if you have any issues with this, please come along to the session a little early and we can assist.
Meg has a degree in Graphic Design and has 10 years experience in using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Meg is also a qualified teacher with experience in teaching A Level Graphic Design.
If possible we ask you to bring your own laptop to the sessions, however we do have a small number that are available to use. If you would like to borrow one at a session please email us to let us know.
All sessions at The Pearl Exchange are free for 18-35 year olds in Cornwall & Devon.
