This course builds on the new features available in Adobe Illustrator CS3. Industry-standard drawing tools, flexible colour controls, professional type controls amongst other new features help capture your ideas and experiment freely, while time saving features such as easier to access options let you work quickly and intuitively. Improved performance and tight integration with other Adobe applications help you produce extraordinary graphics for printand web.

Module 1 – Overview & demo of Illustrator CS3
Module 2 – Live Color
Explore, apply, and control color variations using Live Color, which lets you select any artwork and interactively edit the colors to see results immediately. Use the Color Guide panel to quickly choose tints, shades, or harmonious color combinations.

Module 3 –Integration with Adobe Flash
Import native Illustrator files into Adobe Flash® CS3 Professional software, or copy and paste artwork from Illustrator to Flash with paths, anchor points, gradients, clipping masks, and symbols intact. Layers, groups, and object names are also preserved.

Module 4 – Drawing tools and controls
Illustrator drawing tools are faster and more fluid. More flexible anchor point selection, improved operating performance, and a new Eraser tool help.

Module 5 - Improved operating performance
More responsive drawing & editing. Faster screen redraw, object moving, panning, scaling, and transformations.

Module 6 – Control panel
Free up screen space by accessing anchor point controls, clipping masks, envelope distortions, and more from the context-sensitive Control panel.

Module 7 – Eraser tool
Quickly remove areas of artwork with the Eraser tool as easily as you erase pixels in Photoshop, and enjoy complete control over the width, shape, and smoothness of the erasure.

Module 8 – New Document Profiles
Create artwork easily by selecting prebuilt profiles for various types of media, and save custom profiles that specify such setup parameters as artboard dimensions, styles, and color spaces.

Module 9 – Crop Area tool
Define crop areas interactively for print or export. Choose preset web ratios or video formats with safe areas, and set crop marks intuitively. Define multiple crop areas and easily move between them as needed.

Module 10 – Isolation mode
Edit objects in a group without disturbing other parts of your artwork. Easily select hard-to-find objects without having to restack, lock, or hide layers.

Module 11 – Symbols for Flash
Use Symbols to animate repeated objects while keeping file sizes small. Define and name symbol object attributes, and preserve these properties when you take the artwork to Flash CS3 Professional for further editing.
