Who should attend? And what to bring?
This course suits those with strong computer skills, new to Adobe Illustrator.
For evening courses, you will need to practise between classes so should have access to Illustrator software at your home or workplace. Visit www.adobe.com to find out more information about the software. Adobe may offer a free trial of their software. As each lesson builds upon knowledge and skills gained in the previous session, it may be difficult to catch up if you miss classes. Therefore only enrol at a time when you are confident you can attend all six classes.
For weekend courses, bring your lunch.
