Este curso ha superado mis expectativas. La profesora explica los conceptos de manera clara y concisa, lo que me ha permitido dominar rpidamente la interfaz y las funciones del programa. Gracias a este aprendizaje, ahora puedo crear diseos ms sofisticados y eficientes. Lo super recomiendo

Ciertamente es un curso bsico que te va explicando las herramientas de Ai. En mi caso se me ha hecho algo montono y no he logrado acabarlo. Tambin es cierto que buscaba algo ms llevado a la ilustracin y realmente este curso no se enfoca en ello, algo que ha sido una mala eleccin por mi parte.

So Paulo native Valeria Dubin studied visual communication (graphic design) at Mackenzie Presbyterian University. She refers to her profession as such because she considers that the most important thing in graphic design is to communicate by expressing ideas, values, and concepts visually. Starting out in architecture and graphic design simultaneously has given her a dual perspective and heightened her ability to visualize and understand the dimensions of curious spaces.

She has more than 20 years' experience working on multiple projects in the most diverse areas of graphic design, such as branding, labeling, product graphics, packaging, editorial design, record design, and infographics, among others. As a partner and art director at Estudi Can, Barcelona for over 15 years, she did projects for Barcel Hotels, Gat Rooms, Hotel Ciutat Barcelona, and Hotel del Teatre in Regencs, as well as design work for exhibitions such as Pixar: 25 Years of Animation at the Caixa Forum, Metropolis Barcelona at the DHUB, Univers Gaud at the CCCB, Nonument at the MACBA, and the permanent exhibitions at the Borne Cultural Center and the Interpretation Center for Castrea Culture in Galicia, among others.

I work on Photoshop for over 4 years for web design and user interface purposes but I'm thinking of starting learning Illustrator because most of design jobs now require illustrator skills beside Photoshop.

As for illustrator, it's like asking if PhotoShop is useful if you can't take photos. Of course it is. Having illustration skills will help, but just like practicing your drawing, you'll be practicing Illustrator and you'll grow your skills there too.

The main benefit of using illustrator vs photoshop is that illustrator creates vector graphics. This means you can scale the images as large as you want or as small as you want and there will be no 'jagginess' because vector graphics aren't made from pixels.

I have 0 drawing skills but work with illustrator almost every day. Like you, I used photoshop exclusively and didn't really understand illustrator. After learning to use it, however, I use it just as much as photoshop. It is a very valuable tool to know, and I'm sure you will learn to love it.

I would highly recommend that you master the pen tool as soon as possible. The way I learned the pen tool, was to place a background image of the Queen of Hearts from a deck of cards, and recreate it by tracing it using only the pen tool. After that everything else is easy.

I have rudimentary drawing skills, and the main advantage that vector drawing software gives me is that it lets me try again if my lack of manual dexterity lets me down. With a bit of sodding about I can get cartoon-ish looking drawings out of illustrator, corel draw or similar software.

You do not need to be a "natural" at drawing. BTW: "natural" just means people who just keep at it, again and again. Persistence is all there is. Scribble at everything. Draw at least ten post-it-notes each day.

I do not know if the other people here are just extremely modest, or what kind of stuff they produce. But drawing skills are fundamentally an ability to see. I assume there is nothing particularly wrong with your hands, so it is not a lack of fingers that prevents people from becoming good at drawing. It is about seeing. And mentally translating something 3D into something 2D. And a visual feel for balance.

You do not need to have any drawing skills to use illustrator. I have been using it for 4 years very successfully. You handle your photos in photoshop and your typography treatment in illustrator, and your vector graphics ofcourse. But it is definitely worth learning.

A digital photo is an image that consists of a certain amount of pixels. Consider when you take a picture with a phone and enlarge the image. At a certain size the image becomes blurry, pixelated and loses all the clarity. Photos also often have more and more vibrant colours than vector images, but if you plan on enlarging the photo for a billboard or poster, you need to ensure that the pixel resolution is appropriate.

A vector image consists of points, lines, shapes, and curves based on mathematical principles. This means that the image can be enlarged indefinitely. If you aim to enlarge a design for billboards, posters or even for a mug or t-shirt, vector images are the best option.
