In the first class my teacher, Mr. Winston Wilkins (AKA "Willo") went through what Illustrator was all about...and a bit more...
At first i was like "huh!" with all the terms and keyboard shortcuts...
He went through why people use illustrator which was basically for creating images from scratch, preparing versatile paint-ready materil and carries small file sizes. It sound like just information but it became importnat when he displayed the use of illustrator with the class. He simply drew a cartoon figure on the board with his BB, sent it in an email and open it in Illustartor...all for demonstation...he then used the tools and turned the pixel picture into a vector image...the beauty of illustartor...
The other classes we did things on our own...well kinda...of course with sir's help, talkin us thorugh it...movin stepby step...showing us how to maneouver the pen tool and the keys on the mac keyboard...my favouraite thing was doing the gear and the bomb...never knew i had it in me lol...as in i never thought i'd get it so quickly...well not quick quick but ok...i thought it would be real difficult...especially when sir was explainin it on the board...
So far i've been doing well and i feel that i can manage and by the end of the class i'll be able to properly use Illustrator...i hope as classes go by i'll be challenged a little bit more so that i can definately be sure that i can solve the digital media problems the designing world faces...for now i just think i need some practice...or a lot of practice so that i get to know the programme better...
