Adobe Illustrator is an underutilized and often misunderstood tool in the Creative Suite work flow. There are many wonderful things that can be done in Illustrator, including rapid prototyping GUIs, creating charts and graphs, making call-outs, and developing drawing to import seamlessly into Flash and Photoshop, to name just a few.
This session is for advanced beginners who would like to utilize more of the vector tools in this robust application.
