Vectors & Textures : The Advertising Club of Edmonton

Description

Vectors & Textures is a design technique class that’s perfect for working designers and design students to attend and learn some extra skills to help them with their work and portfolio. This workshop first started a year ago in October and has sold out all most all 5 workshops.

The workshop takes place over two evenings:

Evening 1 – Tuesday November 10 6-9pm
Evening 2 – Thursday November 12 6-9pm
Location: Calder Bateman Communications – 10241 109 Street, Edmonton, AB

The first evening will focus on vectors using type. Attendees will receive typefaces to work with (and take home) that will guide them through the first 3 lessons on designing with vectors in Adobe Illustrator. These lessons include using typefaces, wordmark design tips, splitting and customizing fonts and techniques for styling your type. After learning these techniques, you can design your own wordmarks, custom type and/or drops caps to bring into Adobe Photoshop.

The second evening is all about working with textures and colour. This part will consist of bringing your final vector into Adobe Photoshop where students use (and take home) textures to customize their work with a vintage feel and prepare it for print.

Some experience with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop will be required to participate in this workshop. Please bring your own laptop to work with. Designing on a trackpad isn’t the greatest so using a mouse is recommended. Power and wifi will be available. The latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud will be required to get the full experience of the workshop.

Note: If you can’t make the first event, there will be a second workshop near the end of November.
