Basic Concept of the Course

This course is designed to teach you the technical skills first, such as how to draw simple shapes and quickly make that shape into an intricate design. Then use the skills to follow two different case studies to really understand the core concept of the contents. Also, let's think about the advantage of adobe illustrator as a tool. You will understand the efficiency of this tool in actual workflow. We often wonder how beautiful designs with great complexity were made and this course will reveal the process and thinking behind it shapes, especially simple recognizable geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares are strong communication tool because of their simplicity and familiarity, it is natural to utilize these ineffective design. Any complex design can be broken down into a group of simple shapes, so that's why we will focus on shapes in this course.
