Process Overview
as well as technical skills, it is very important to understand the general process of this method. We will start from visualizing your ideas on paper. This part is very important. Even though the sketches rough by doing a hand drawn sketch, you can come up with flexible and interesting design much easier in my opinion. If you skip this process and jump right into the digital tools, it will be very challenging to come up with any effective design. Digital tools are very useful and convenient but how to control them is quite different from how we draw naturally by hand, that's why hand drawn sketches, a great idea development tool. Then we will convert the hand drawn image into victor shapes as you can see. The digital tools are great to make a rough idea into much more presentable images. So let's make sure there's an idea development tool and there is a production tool. Once we move on to a victor environment, I want to think about any painting or sculpture. You start from rough shape...
, big picture, you don't worry about the details right away, we will walk on the big area, then we move on to small details, areas while we develop and fine tune the image. We will look at composition, balance, hierarchy and depth of the image Very closely we create an illustration from simple shapes that means it is very easy to apply basic graphic design principles which I can explain in details later in this course, we will also look at how to take advantage of the convenience of adobe illustrator. This will help you understand how to make your workflow very efficient, whatever your design, maybe it is important to understand and follow this process for successful results.
