What you will learn In series of lessons we will focus on an
introduction to Illustrator CS5. We'll get started by learning
some of the basics, such as creating and opening files,
understanding and customizing the interface and working with
tools such as rulers and guides. We'll move on and learn about
what Illustrator calls an object, and we'll also learn some
tools for creating and modifying these objects. Once we've
mastered creating and modifying objects, we'll learn how to
manage objects using groups and layers. Next, we'll begin
looking at ways to create more advanced objects by building on
the knowledge we already have. We'll also learn about how
Illustrator handles color and type. Along the way we'll learn
about some of the new tools and features included with
Illustrator CS5. Finally, we'll wrap things up by learning how
to save and export our artwork out of Illustrator.
