Adobe Illustrator<\/strong> is a graphic vector editor developed by Adobe. Difference between Photoshop and Illustrator? Illustrator is vector-based<\/strong>. So, unlike Photoshop’s pixel-based format, Illustrator uses mathematical constructs to create vector graphics. A vector graphic will never lose its quality if it’s scaled up or down.<\/strong> So graphic designer uses Illustrator will also give you a better print output since it’s not resolution dependent. Illustrator are typically used to create logos, icons, drawings, typography, and complex illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some contemporary design trends are Skeuomorphism, Flat design, and Material design (more details<\/a>). For this workshop, we work with Flat design.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe After Effects<\/strong> is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe and used in the post-production process of film making and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing and animation. For this workshop series, we work with Motion graphics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illustrator to After Effects <\/strong>is a 3 session workshop series that introduces attendees to simple illustrate-animate workflow: from Illustrator – vector graphic – to After Effects – motion graphic. By the end of the series, attendees will have a basic understanding of graphic design, the software, and a cool animated rocket video\/GIF (some work<\/a>\/other work<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3 workshop sessions ideally will cover the basics of Illustrator and After Effects can do. Generally, the series is for Illustrator and After Effects newbies. Difficulty levels may increase but not drastically so don’t worry if you miss the previous one and want to go to the next one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
