Have you ever wanted to create your own vector artwork from scratch? This Guided Project was created to help beginners in graphic design achieve the creation of vibrant and professional vector graphics using Adobe Illustrator for web. More specifically, in this project-based course, you will learn how to navigate the Adobe Illustrator interface, create and manipulate basic shapes and lines, apply colors and gradients, add and format text, organize elements using layers, and create custom illustrations. To achieve this, you will create a complete vector illustration for a birthday greeting card. Starting with an initial concept and design brief, you will progress through each step, incorporating custom illustrations, vibrant colors, and formatted text to create a visually appealing and professionally designed greeting card. This project is unique because it allows you to apply your creativity while mastering essential Adobe Illustrator skills. To be successful in this project, you will need basic computer skills. Familiarity with graphic design concepts is helpful but not required.
