[Newsletter] advanced Adobe Illustrator class at SFCC

[newsletter at santafemug.org]

January 9, 2006

Dear Mac User Group Members,

I am a Santa Fe graphic designer (I'm sure I've met some of you) who  
also teaches Adobe Illustrator CS2 in the Media Arts Department at  
Santa Fe Community College.  I am writing this letter to let you know  
about an important course offering this coming semester at SFCC that  
I will be teaching:

Media Arts 247 01 (30570)  Adobe Illustrator II:
A course in Advanced Illustrator Techniques.

The 16-week class will meet Tuesday afternoons from 1:30 pm to 4 pm,  
starting January 24.  This advanced class is not offered every  
semester; indeed, this is the first time in recent years that it has  
been scheduled.

Those of you who have been using Illustrator will know that Adobe has  
more than doubled the power of the program in the last few years.   
Such additions as transparancy, 3D rendering, the gradient mesh  
(which allows very realistic shading), opacity masks, fully editable  
filter effects, and, most recently, live trace and live paint (which  
allow you to scan a sketch, quickly change it to vectors and color  
it), have made Illustrator into an extremely powerful tool for both  
illustration and design.  If you have been using Illustrator but have  
not explored these (and other) recent additions you should consider  
learning them in our constructive, project oriented class.  Some  
working knowledge of Illustrator is a prerequisite, but a full review  
of the basics will be done during the first few weeks.

Please register as soon as possible if you are interested. I would  
appreciate it if you would circulate and/or post this letter and the  
attached flyer announcing the class.  Please contact me if you have  
any questions.

							Sincerely,

							Frank Wechsler
