In this class you will learn the essentials of preparing your files for print. Adobe Illustrator is the main tool that we will use, but I will also go through some workflows in Adobe Photoshop and Indesign.
This is a class for illustrators, surface pattern designers and graphic designers. You will learn how to prepare files for a print shop, for a print-on-demand site and for a client. I will teach you how to prepare a stand alone illustration as well as a pattern.
Printing is a broad area of expertise and I’m not an expert at everything that has to do with this. But I’ve been sending files to print for over 5 years, so I will teach you what I know and the techniques that I use. Basically the essentials – what you need to know to successfully prepare files.
In the end of this class you’ll be able to successfully prepare your files to send to a print shop, upload to a print-on-demand site or to send to a client.
This an intermediate class and you need to have some basic understanding of at least Adobe Illustrator to be able to follow along.
