AI Lesson 07
Graphic Design and Illustration with Adobe Illustrator
Embedded Files
Introduction
Introduction
It is impossible to replicate the exam exactly in the lessons. That would be unfair, and illegal and would diminish the value of the exam. However, in this final class, we can engage in some exercises that incorporate tasks you might encounter in the test. The focus here is not necessarily to achieve the exact same final result in Adobe Illustrator but rather to understand the tools and techniques required.
Make sure to show the results and your notes on your Learning Journal.
Test 4: How about your basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator?
Test 4: How about your basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator?
Already in the seventh week, it's remarkable how quickly time has passed! Now is the opportunity to evaluate your achievements in the Adobe Illustrator challenge. Consider what skills you have already honed and pinpoint areas that could benefit from additional attention. Best wishes as you undertake the test!
The test will be shared by the SOFT2 teacher during the first class through a Microsoft Teams assignment. Next week, we will review the answers together with the Illustrator students.
